Saturday 2nd December kick off 3pm

Broadhurst Park
National League North -

From the Harrogate forum
Always look forward to the FCUM trip.
Great ground, very hospitable and usually a decent atmosphere.
The matches are normally great with you guys coming back from 3-0 down the other season to us equalising with the last kick of the match last season in the FA Cup.

George Thomson is doing very well for us. He works hard and is popular with our fans and scored a fantastic goal (with his left foot) against Boston on Saturday. Echoing the comments above, good wishes to FCUM and their fans for the season (but not against us obviously).

George doing ok but having to play out of position wide on the right. Think he played a more central role for you which suits him better giving him oportunities to score.

The clubs met 5 times in 2016 with FCUM winning one and Harrogate three. The 8 previous meetings have yielded 37 goals.
Harrogate’s 5-0 win at Wetherby Road in February 2016 was the biggest ever defeat for FCUM.
George Thomson scored 32 goals in 72 appearances for FCUM between 2015-17 including 2 against Harrogate Town.
Midfielder Josh Falkingham won the Scottish Division Three title with Arbroath in 2010-11 and promotion from Scottish League One with Dunfermline Athletic in 2015-16.
Harrogate are joint-top scorers with Blyth Spartans in National League North with 46 goals. Their 25 away goals in 9 away games is the best in the Division. In 12 away fixtures in League and Cup the Town have won 10 of them.

From Harrogate forum

They fully deserved their win, had other on goal misses (how many did we have?), hit the post and I must say from where I was standing we were lucky to get a free kick (leading to our first goal) when Thewliss fell to the floor. We may improve if all our returnees gel again and in Beck we have a new dimension but we are unlikely to catch Salford now.
Some of our players showed their limitations today, but I must say that Falky played out of his skin again.
I must also congratulate FCUM on a well deserved victory which the passion and loyalty of their supporters fully deserved.

We should have had 2/3 goals 1st half and had it won but their keeper pulled off 2 super saves. We did our usual and did not come out after half time. Possibly the Parker incident going into the tunnel at half time upset us.
Thought United went out of their way to upset certain of our players and it worked. Still wondering how Leesley stays on the pitch every week and have come to the conclusion we don't have anyone to replace him.
