But wouldn't they be scrutinised ?

There are several other players from the starting line up against Ukraine who are not starting tonight so I don't see how you have arrived at that conclusion.

Why buy a PL team in the first place then ?

Given that the additional TV revenues that accrue from being in the Premier League are worth far more than any club assets that could be liquidated why would he want to prevent us being promoted if the objective is to recoup money ?

He has a track record of playing a lot better for England than Man U.

Come on. He's in the England Under 20s for a reason.

The manager should be safe though. His father owns the club.

11-0 is our record score. Come on !

I think we are still the only club to have won a major trophy in each of the 3 centuries.

Given that the attendance against Walsall was 6,173 and there are only 450 Harrogate tickets available it is impossible to argue with your mathematics.

A very good win against the odds. I thought Hyam's marshalling of the defence made him man of the match.

More like a back 10 now

JDT doesn't get it - the "money" decisions are taken in India, not by Steve Waggott.

Hardly. They are not going to be up against the best club team in the world, and the best goal scorer in the world, every week.

Harrogate have done well to get to the EFL. Manager Simon Weaver is the longest serving manager in the league having been there since May 2009, although his length of service has been helped by the fact that his father is Chairman !

People get carried away in the opposite direction so I think the optimists who remain here can do so as well.

Unfortunately that seems to be correct - in which case a life ban should be made.

If that is correct it is well ahead of the 14,970 last season and suggests that the "diminishing fanbase" that some claim to have identified is anything but.

Haven't we already brought them in ?

Excellent start to the season . Debut goals for 2 forwards and strong showing by Wharton points to us being much better placed for scoring goals than some had feared.

No goals in this team apparently.

I think 2019-20 was 13,873. That was the season interrupted by Covid and 2 of the 5 home games we lost were against Leeds and West Brom who were the top 2 teams and who would brought significant travelling support to boost the average attendance.

You are right in what you say about attendance levels in this division in the periods you are quoting but it's worth adding that attendances in the 1960s in this division were roughly similar to what they are now and were much lower in the 1970s and 1980s.

With many of our players clearly still improving I think we can finish in the top 6.
