A ground of 8 stands!

Saturday 16 November 2024, Harrogate Town 2 Chesterfield 1 - League 2, Wetherby Road

Slowly getting closer to the 92 - bad journey so arrived with 15 minutes to spare, impressed by amount of helpful stewards, ground is quirky with 8 different stands!


Chesterfield have some of best players in this league and dominated possession in the first half but struggled to get a shot on target and it was Harrogate who got closest when they hit the bar.



Second half- and obvious that Harrogate had realised taht Chesterfield were struggling to hurt them, so the home team were more attack minded this half and took the lead after a great free kick hit the post and a home midfielder was first to react to slam the goal in.





Paul Cook had seen enough and made a mass substitution, and one of those who came on, scored with his first touch. Many may have thought Chesterfield would now push on for the win, but it was Harrogate who scored again - disallowed (off side) but then they got a deserved winner at start of injury time.
