Weatherby Road, Harrogate Town get sunburnt

So this started at the club shop trying to buy tickets. Took a bit of convincing them my wife and I weren't associated with the away team. A small ground so we had to stand and joined the Black Sheep contingent. An afternoon in the sun follwoing a pleasant walk from the town centre. A very different feel to the atmosphere and character of Harrogate town centre. I have to say this was the quietest home crowd I have witnessed. Even the late cosolation goal didn't generate much noise. The away space was full, all six hundred places taken up while the total crowd was 2,933. Most fans enjoyed some mushy peas with their burger or vegan slice; others had a hot dog. We had a hot beverage and a piece of confectionery. There was no car park though some local parking looked possible. We had stayed over to enjoy a wander around the town and so had our vehicle parked in the centre. After the match we enjoyed some evening food at a lovely fifties diner. The general feeling is much more of a non-league venue despite this being their second year back in the League. The team do not have much to play for at this point in the season. Not strictly safe from relagation but a reasonable gap will probably be enough. Never really likely to win they only started to look good when a few late substitues came on to add some energy into the fray. My wife liked number 30, Power particularly. Overall nice small ground so some planning required for any visit.
