Harrogate-Notts County

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sun Aug 02, 2020 1:34 pm

National play off final today, whoever goes up it'll provide a story, Harrogate in the Football League for the first time in their history, or the league's oldest club reclaiming their status again.

I'll be siding with Harrogate as it's not too far away.

Harrogate!

Harrogate for me, nothing against either team but you feel the size of Notts County at that level they will come again but for Harrogate this could their only chance.

Saw my first game of League Football at Meadow Lane in 1970, they're my Dad's team, as a Nottingham lad ....
He's 84 now, suffering with vascular dementia, so for him ..... " Come on, County " !!

Harrogate I hope, they're local to me too.

To get Barrow and Harrogate in the League would be brilliant.

claretburns · Post by **claretburns** » Sun Aug 02, 2020 3:05 pm

1-0 to Harrogate

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sun Aug 02, 2020 3:05 pm

Good start for Harrogate. First thought was that the goalkeeper should have done better but it’s a good finish.

claretburns · Post by **claretburns** » Sun Aug 02, 2020 3:08 pm

Ohhh should have been 2, Harrogate started very well.

MACCA · Post by **MACCA** » Sun Aug 02, 2020 3:24 pm

Hope harrogate go up.
Would Be nice if we could get a friendly v them 23s or otherwise.

I heard on the build up that their 3g pitch would be ripped up Tuesday if they win as football league dont allow them.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sun Aug 02, 2020 3:28 pm

2-0 now

claretblue · Post by **claretblue** » Sun Aug 02, 2020 3:28 pm

might lose strayclaret if Harrogate go up!

Don’t think so, go about 5 times a year, when we are away. . Just think if they win a team 10 years in front of us will be coming to town.

ClaretDiver · Post by **ClaretDiver** » Sun Aug 02, 2020 3:40 pm

Should have been 3 there....

I can just imagine what their fans might behave like.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sun Aug 02, 2020 3:41 pm

They should have this won by now

strayclaret · Post by **strayclaret** » Sun Aug 02, 2020 3:44 pm

It’s a cracking game no fannying about, far better than when they play on the 3G pitch.

MACCA · Post by **MACCA** » Sun Aug 02, 2020 3:45 pm

If this was a boxing match itd be stopped, it's as 1 way traffic in a final you're likely to see.
Could and maybe should be 4-0

mdd2 · Post by **mdd2** » Sun Aug 02, 2020 3:58 pm

As Rowan Atkinson said as football manager "There's always the second half"
Hope they don't regret those missed chances 3-0 up is more than 50% of 2-0 in football maths

ClaretDiver · Post by **ClaretDiver** » Sun Aug 02, 2020 4:04 pm

Cracking free kick!

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sun Aug 02, 2020 4:05 pm

One back for Notts having been murdered in first half

claretburns · Post by **claretburns** » Sun Aug 02, 2020 4:05 pm

Great free kick, game on! Harrogate will kick themselves if Notts pull this back.

strayclaret · Post by **strayclaret** » Sun Aug 02, 2020 4:05 pm

Oh dear

Clarets4me · Post by **Clarets4me** » Sun Aug 02, 2020 4:06 pm

Great free kick .... come on Notts !!

Did say; think they may. Anyone pulled a two goal deficit back in a play off final?

Not sure about National League, but City in 99 v Gillingham

MACCA · Post by **MACCA** » Sun Aug 02, 2020 4:16 pm

Looks like they've swapped shirts at HT.

Notts look a different team

Oh yes, I forgot about that and I heard of some City fans who left early really ****** off and when they heard it was going into extra-time they tried to get back into the stadium.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sun Aug 02, 2020 4:24 pm

Typical game of 2 halves, this sport is so strange. If it's level after 90 it's straight to penalties.

mdd2 · Post by **mdd2** » Sun Aug 02, 2020 4:27 pm

Jon Stead on against his last club. A long way from his stint at Rovers

3-1 Diamond

strayclaret · Post by **strayclaret** » Sun Aug 02, 2020 4:30 pm

Massive goal

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sun Aug 02, 2020 4:30 pm

mdd2 · Post by **mdd2** » Sun Aug 02, 2020 4:38 pm

No come back for County now.

I didn't think Mr Bean ever spoke!

Always root for the "new" teams in the National League promotion race...so pleased that Barrow and Harrogate have come up even though the older posters amongst us have seen them before

Time for a text to my BWFC mate, whose house I am looking after, whilst they’re on holiday

Having played on towns pitch and having managed Harrogate Boys team I’m delighted!

No sooner had Dyche gone 2nd in longest serving manager, he is now back in 3rd.

Just hope the club have the finances to get their ground up to EFL requirements. Looks as if the present capacity is <4000

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sun Aug 02, 2020 4:59 pm

Well done to Harrogate they finished 2nd in the regular season, and they were miles the better team today a thoroughly deserved promotion.

I'm not sure many well fancy a trip to Barrow or Harrogate in the depths of winter, it might be a bit parky.

Just a few hours in that elevated position. Ainsworth went first when Bentley left Morecambe but he’s down to second now.

The Manager was a shoo in for the job there. His dad owns the club
