Good evening everyone and welcome back to The Hive London for this evening’s league fixture with Harrogate Town.

An extended welcome to all of those who have made the long trip from Yorkshire this evening. It was a shame to have Saturday called off but with the conditions as they were it was the right call to postpone the match. The safety of the players and supporters is of course the main importance, but with the conditions being poor it wouldn’t have made for a good spectacle between two good footballing sides. Harrogate are obviously a top side and they like us try to play the right way, so it makes for an interesting match-up this evening. As always I believe that if we play at our best then we are certainly capable of getting the points tonight. We of course are looking to bounce back from last week, where I felt we were probably hard done by not to take a point. We created plenty of chances but we just lacked that clinical edge to get that all important goal. We’ve started slowly in the last couple of matches and this is something that has to stop immediately, it is frustrating. It’s important to start games

quickly so I’ll be looking for an improvement in that respect. We have the chance to make something really special out of this season, there’s plenty of games to go, points to play for and if we stick together anything is possible. Thanks to those of you who travelled to Solihull Moors last week in horrible conditions, your support is greatly appreciated. I apologise we couldn’t get the result you wanted, but you roared us on all the way, so thanks for that. It’s important that you maintain your support as it gives us that boost and it can really be a difference maker. Get behind us, at home and on the road and I’ll ensure these boys give it absolutely everything for you.

Thanks for your continued support!

HistoryThe demand for a first class ‘Association’ team had been growing for a number of years as the last century dawned in fact, as far back as 1907/08 a club was registered under the name of Harrogate Town but got no further and in 1914 at the Harrogate Rugby Union club’s AGM it was unanimously decided to adopt the ‘Soccer code’ which had been the idea of a Mr. W. Oddy and a Mr. C. Leng ex Chairman of the Rugby club who converted to the soccer code and the code was adopted at a public meeting at the YMCA rooms.

The Rugby club did continue though. On Tuesday evening 28 July 1914 a meeting was held at the County Hotel, Skipton Road, Harrogate as the club had now been formed as Harrogate AFC and had secured admission to the Northern league at Redcar on Saturday 27 June 1914 and were to play their home games at the County ground (the Harrogate Rugby Union’s ground) in Claro Road, Harrogate (a housing estate today).

The fixtures were prepared and the first match was to be played at Bishop Auckland on 5 September 1914. However, two hours before kick-off a telegram, stating that Harrogate would not be arriving, was received by Bishop Auckland due to the outbreak of the First World War as most of the team and the Secretary had joined the Regiments.

After the War a meeting was held at the Imperial cafe (now Betty’s) on Parliament Street, Harrogate on 19 May 1919 (2019 is Betty’s Centenary year) by Frederick Hammond Breare (son of the Harrogate Herald/Advertiser owner who had been Treasurer of the 1914 Association football team and later became Secretary of the 1919 side) to consider re-forming the club and all interested were invited and the club were formed again to play in the West Riding league for season 1919/20 and the first competitive game was at the Starbeck lane ground on Saturday 30 August 1919 against Horsforth with a 3.30pm kick-off.

In those days it was 5d (2p) into the ground and 1s 3d (7p) in the stand. The result was a 1-0 victory for Harrogate and the scorer was L. Craven with a header. Also that campaign Harrogate won the Whitworth Cup Final 4-0 against Ripon City, the first ever trophy

won by the new Harrogate AFC. In 1920/21 they joined the newly formed Yorkshire league but also continued with a team in the WRL, the Reserve side and had to leave their Starbeck lane ground after one season as house building was order of the day according to the Corporation.

All was not lost though as the club had been given prior notice the previous season and the committee under Chairman Mr. C.H.J. Marsden (1919-32) decided at a meeting on 8 December 1919 to purchase a six acre plot of land at the club’s present site, then known as ‘Wetherby Lane’ and the local public were asked to buy shares in the new company at £1 a share and after obtaining the 3,000 required the ground was purchased.

The first Yorkshire league game played at the new ground Wetherby Lane (now Road) was on Saturday 28 August 1920 with a 2-1 win against York YMCA. The club played in amber and black and were nicknamed ‘The Sulphurites’ by supporters because Harrogate is a Spa Town with ‘sulphur water.’

The Dictionary states sulphur: a pale yellow non metallic element used in black gunpowder. Perfect for today’s colours. They also played a few friendlies including a game against Liverpool Reserves at Anfield which Harrogate won 4-1 and a game at Sheffield United winning 2-1 in front of 15,000. After his brother’s death in 1920 Robert Ackrill Breare became Secretary from 1920-1932.

For 1921/22 they joined the strong Midland Counties league playing against the likes of Nottingham Forest, Sheffield Wednesday and Barnsley Reserves but for only one season with the Directors getting little support from the Harrogate public so just continued playing in Yorkshire league. Harrogate’s first major trophy came

when they won the West Riding County Challenge Cup beating Fryston Colliery 3-1 at Elland Road, Leeds on 9 May 1925 and 1926/27 saw them claim the Yorkshire league Championship and WRCC Cup defeating Selby Town 2-1 in a replayed Final also at Elland Road and in fact they were the first side to win the double in the Yorkshire league. In that WRCC Cup replay the local paper’s report of the winning goal by Bob Morphet was priceless.

‘As Morphet gathered a pass from Jack Smith and crashed the ball home hats, sticks and umbrellas were flung in the air as respectable law abiding citizens among Harrogate folk became raving lunatics for the moment.’

In 1931/32 they joined the Northern league again and actually played for just one season the club’s last before folding due to lack of money and support and Wetherby Road ground was eventually sold to the Harrogate Borough Council in 1936 and there was no actual ‘Town team’ from 1932 until basically after the Second World War but the ground was still used by Leeds United ‘A’ team for 1932/33 in Yorkshire league, Bradford City ‘A’ team 1935/36 in Yorkshire league and the Council made the enclosure into a sports field for elementary school children and the youth of the Town and of course local semi-finals and Finals were played there too so at least it kept the ‘builders out.’

The Harrogate YMCA had been playing football on West Park Stray since 1908 but in 1935 there were problems. Apparently you had to be a member and a number of up and coming talented local footballers who, wanted to play football for the YMCA were not apparently willing to join the Association. This problem was eventually solved when John Thackrey (Chairman), Harry Lunn (Secretary) and George Squires (groundsman), who were members, got together and decided to form their own football team and in so doing took a good number of the YMCA team with them.

They had a meeting at the YMCA (Belvedere) on Victoria Avenue and decided to call themselves Harrogate Hotspurs and join the Harrogate league for 1935/36 playing on the famous Christ Church Stray for two seasons and changed at Christ Church School.

They became so good they joined the West Riding County Amateur league for 1937/38 (playing at the Old Showground down Knaresborough Road) presently Shaw’s trailer park and during the War years they ground-shared at Wetherby Road and after the War continued playing on the ground as they became the new ‘Town team’ after a lengthy amount of time awaiting acceptance from Harrogate Council to their application but Hotspurs put forward that, ‘a

pitch on the Stray is not likely to appeal to County competition organisers.’ Of course the Council had initially contemplated selling Wetherby Road because of expenditure of money in necessary repairs to the ground which the football club would now pay.

For 1946/47 Hotspurs joined the West Yorkshire league and there first ever game as the new Town team was a 2-1 defeat at Wetherby Road to Leeds UYMI on 31 August 1946 when George Smith scored that first goal.

In 1948/49 Hotspurs changed their name to Harrogate Town because the title ‘Hotspurs’ gave no indication to other teams that they were meeting the senior club in Harrogate. 1949/50 saw the largest ever crowd at Wetherby Road when 4,280 crammed into the ground to see the Whitworth Cup Final against Harrogate Railway Athletic a 3-0 defeat and is still the highest crowd ever seen on this ground.

Town joined the Yorkshire league again for 1957/58 under Jack ‘Boss’ Townrow a former Chelsea and England International and he was relatively successful in the early 1960s when they finished runners-up and WRC Cup winners for 1962/63 season as a semi-professional outfit. Before that though, a new clubhouse and changing rooms were built and opened on Wednesday 31 August 1960 by the Mayor of Harrogate and until 2019 was called the 1919 bar.

Under Peter Gunby, Town had a successful side in the early 1970s winning the WRC Cup in 1973 and under Alan Smith Town were the last winners of the Yorkshire league Division Two for 1981/82 season as for 1982/83 the Northern Counties East league had been formed with the Yorkshire and Midland leagues joining forces. The introduction of the football pyramid was a wonderful progression for non-league football.

Harrogate had played in the Yorkshire league for many seasons but could never achieve anything higher than being Champions of Division One and playing against only Yorkshire opponents. With the introduction of the NCE League they were by 1985 able to play further afield visiting Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire.

Forming the pyramid towards league football was an exciting prospect for many clubs who made sure their grounds were adequate for the upward climb including Harrogate Town under head Groundsman George Dunnington (who was also Chairman now life President) and his band of willing volunteers, including John Walker

who has followed the club for 70 years and been a volunteer for 55 years. Alan Smith (George’s son) who became player/manager for 1979/80 and was there for 20 years, invited George to the ground to help out and floodlights were installed in 1982 when they played and beat Accrington Stanley in an F.A.

Cup replay and in the November of 82 Leeds United Manager Eddie Gray sent his entire first team to play and switched on the lights before a crowd of 2,000 and Manchester United came in January 1983 witnessed by another 2,000 crowd at Wetherby Road.

Town of course were now playing in the Northern Counties East league Division One but gained promotion to the Premier Division for 1986/87.

Chairman George Dunnington persuaded Secretary Roy Dalby that it would be in Town’s best interests to join the new Division One of the Northern Premier league for 1987/88 which they did and in November 1990 they saw the official opening of the new impressive 350 seat cantilevered grandstand when league side York City sent their first team and Geoff Butler was the Architect of this stand and has still follows the club and has for the last 59 years.

Town spent many seasons in Division one of the NPL simply because the club could not compete with others due to lack of financial resources to pay quality players.

Then in 1998 Town’s luck changed with the appointment of Maurice Hammond as Chairman. He injected the first real capital into the club but eventually left but thanks to his second in command Roy Abel, this man invited the next Chairman to join the club and February 2000 saw the arrival of Bill Fotherby, former Chairman of Leeds United and 2001/02 saw the club become Champions of NPL (Unibond) Division One by ten clear points under John Reed and coach Neil Aspin (former Leeds Utd) after playing 15 seasons in the league since its inception and win the WRC Cup 4-0 over Farsley Celtic.

2002/03 saw the club finish 6th in their first ever season of NPL Premier Division football, reach the F.A. Cup First round proper for the first time before going out 5-1 at Farnborough Town and win the WRC Cup again. A fifth place finish in 2003/04 secured the club a place in the newly formed Nationwide Conference North playing against teams from the Birmingham area for the first time and the inaugural 2004/05 Nationwide North season saw the club achieve more

success despite the shock mid season departure of John Reed with Neil Aspin returning as the new manager and a 6th place finish was achieved.

2005/06 saw Town entertain a first Conference side in competition at Wetherby Road when Scarborough visited for an F.A. Cup fourth qualifying round tie when segregation took place for the first time and a league club was seen at Wetherby Road for the first time in competition when they played Torquay United in a First round replay on a Tuesday evening when 3,317 were attracted to the game which ended in defeat after extra time and the lottery of a penalty shoot-out and also that season Town made the Conference North play-offs but went out to Stafford Rangers away in the semi-finals.

2006/07 they missed out on the play offs by one point and also missed out again for 2007/08. At the end of 2008/09 manager Neil Aspin left the club to join FC Halifax Town and soon after Simon Weaver became the club’s new manager but with a tight budget to work with it was difficult and the 2009/10 season ended with the club finishing bottom of the pile.

However, with Northwich Victoria demoted Harrogate escaped relegation through the back door with being granted a reprieve. In the summer of 2011 Simon Weaver’s father Irving Weaver (Strata Homes) became the new owner and later Chairman after Bill Fotherby had stopped funding the club.

For 2012/13 Town reached the F.A. Cup second round proper for the first time under manager Simon Weaver before going out to Hastings in a replay missing out on a Third round proper tie at Middlesbrough and also finished 6th in the table.

The summer of 2013 saw the pitch levelled, 2014 two new stands built on Wetherby Road side and at the Hospital end behind the goals with September 2014 seeing Centenary celebrations at Wetherby Road.

2015/16 saw them reach the play-offs again but lost to AFC Fylde in the semi-finals. For the summer of 2016 the club laid a state of the art 3G pitch to avoid weather disruption, they could train on it and hire it out. 2017/18 saw them as a full time professional outfit for the first time and it paid dividends with the full time training as they reached the Vanarama National league for the first time in their History by defeating Brackley Town 3-0 in the play-off Final at Wetherby Road before a 3,000 sell out crowd, thanks to two goals from Dominic Knowles and one from Joe Leesley.

For 2018/19 in National league the club is now meeting teams in the South of England for the first time travelling as far as Dover and it was an unbelievable start to the season as Town were unbeaten in their first 11 games to top the table in September 2018.

There is also Town Under-17s, Under-19s and ladies football run successfully by Jon Maloney and his crew. Work is still continuing at the ground with a new seated stand at the clubhouse end, new bar and changing rooms in their bid for promotion to the football league.

Also just a footnote but three books were also written on the club by yours truly, Highlights 2004 which sold out, the complete record 2010 and the Centenary book.

Harrogate Town in Summer 2017 following three seasons at National League North side Tamworth.

The stopper had also played for Nuneaton Town and Walsall, and helped Town gain promotion in his first season at the club, being named in the National League North Team of the Season on the way.

Belshaw followed that up with an outstanding first season at National League level, winning Supporters Club Player of the Year after racking up over 50 appearances.

Town made Connor Hall their first Summer signing of 2019 when securing the defender’s services from National League North Brackley.

Having joined The Saints in June 2018, the 25-year-old helped his side to a third place finish in The National League North, with only NLN Winners Stockport County conceding less goals than his Brackley side last season.

The six-foot-four centre half started his career at Bury Town and had spent two seasons at Biggleswade before joining Brackley, registering 18 goals in two seasons in a more advanced position.

DJosh Falkingham started his footballing career with Leeds United at the age of eight before joining Scottish Premier League side St Johnstone after 11 years at his hometown club.

The central midfielder with an eye for a pass then spent time north of the border at The Saints, Arbroath and Dunfermline Athletic, whom he captained and helped gain promotion to the Scottish Championship.

A return to England in 2016 saw Falkingham sign for National League North side Darlington before a move to Town proved too tempting to turn down.

Falkingham’s first season at Harrogate Town saw him Captain the side to promotion to the National League, win the West Riding U21 League as Manager and be named in the National League North Team of the Year.

Town captured the signature of Jon Stead in June 2019 and in doing so secured the services of a striker with over 600 senior appearances and over 150 goals.

Prior to joining Town, The 6ft3 striker had spent the last four seasons at Notts County, making 182 appearances and scoring 51 goals in all competitions while the club competed in League Two.

Stead started his career at Huddersfield, where an impressive 18 goals in 30 appearances in the 2003/04 season earned him a £1million plus move to Blackburn, where he spent two seasons in The Premier League.

A 1.8m move to Sunderland followed where Stead spent another season in the Premier League, before returning to the top flight with Neil Warnock’s Sheffield United in the 2006/07 season.

Stead made a total of 86 Premier League appearances across the three clubs, before turning out for Ipswich, Coventry and Bristol City in the Championship in a distinguished career.

On a chilly and windy evening, both sides started the game looking to get on the front foot, from the off the Bees looked to move the ball quickly and continue in the same vain that they finished against Barrow on Saturday.

Josh Walker had the first chance of the evening as he headed straight at Ryan Boot from David Tutonda’s delightful cross.

Up the other end, Jake Beesley fired over the bar as he picked up a loose ball forward. The Moors direct style certainly caused early problems for the Bees in an open affair in the chilly midlands

With 18 minutes on the clock, the hosts took the lead from the spot as Terry Hawkridge sent Loach the wrong way after Adams brought down Beesley.

Midway through the half, the Moors threatened again as Callum Howe headed against the crossbar before the Bees had to clear from the line as Danny Wright looked to bundle it into the back of the net.

The Bees almost levelled five minutes before the break, as Dunnev turned in the box and his looping effort dropped just wide of the far post.

It was a frustrating half for Currie’s side, however, they grew into the match as it went on but couldn’t force an equaliser before the break.

The Bees started the second half the better and were almost on level terms as Vilhete

found Akinola, who’s effort destined for the corner was saved by Boot.

Moments later Vilhete broke clear but our creative midfielder’s strike was straight at Boot, as we continued to pile on the pressure.

The boss introduced Ricardo Santos and Medy Elito as he looked to force the issue. With 20 minutes left on the clock, Walker was next to be denied by Boot.

Walker went close again as he rose highest from Tutonda’s delicious cross, but his header went over the crossbar.

Boot was then forced into his best stop of the lot, as Reynolds flicked a ball towards the top corner, but Boot sprawled across the goal to somehow turn it away. This proved to be the Bees last meaningful opportunity, as they also had late appeals for a penalty turned away after it appeared Santos was tugged back in the area.

David Tutonda believes the Bees will bounce back from Solihull defeat

On the run coming to an end

We’re obviously disappointed to lose the run, but we’ve been taking every game one at a time. Obviously it’s a shame to lose the run but we will look to bounce back as soon as possible.

On the second-half performance

We had a chat about our slow starts and that is obviously something that we are trying to amend now. We now just have to look forward to the next game and start as fast as possible. We have to get a lead on our hands.

On the Bees growing into the match

They are a pretty big side, so compared to them they were 6”3 plus. It was difficult to combat them in that sense.

I felt we dealt with them pretty well as a whole. They obviously got the penalty, but other than that I can’t really remember many other chances they had. It’s obviously really disappointing to concede that way and go in behind at half time.

On not getting too low following the defeat

When you’re winning games everyone wants to mention the run or this or that. Everyone in the changing room takes it week by week, we have targets and aims that we try to fulfil so that’s the way to go about it.

On bouncing back Saturday

It’s another tough game and we’re going into that one now. We have to bounce back from here.

I just want to thank the fans for coming out and I wish them all a safe trip home.

Terry Emery would have been in jubilant mood after the Bees 3-0 victory over Barrow last weekend, but his day soon turned to frustration after losing his wallet on the way home from The Hive London.Terry had cash, bank cards and his driving licence in his wallet and was almost certain that he wouldn’t see it again. However, a fellow Bee would soon come to their rescue in an incredible act of kindness. Steven Mann had found the wallet on the tube, Steven was also on his way home from The Hive London following the match. In an amazing act of generosity, Steven then travelled through Storm Ciara to personally deliver Terry’s wallet back to his home address in Welwyn Garden City.

Steven had absolutely no clue that Terry was a fellow Bee, further highlighting what a heartfelt act this was. Terry and his partner Louise were left gob-smacked by Steven’s kindness. Terry has now promised to make sure he repays the gesture, by buying his fellow Bee a pint in the Legends Bar ahead of this evening’s clash with Harrogate Town. There was further celebration in order as Terry proposed to his now soon to be wife Louise. Everyone at Barnet Football Club would like to congratulate them on this fantastic news!

Everyone associated with the Bees would like to pass on immense recognition to Steven Mann for his selfless act! Well done Steven!

Having parted company with former manager Tim Flowers last week, Solihull Moors have appointed Jimmy Shan as their new manager. Despite the former England national team goalkeeper leading the West Midlands side to a club record high of a second place finish in the National League and a record of reaching the fourth round of the FA Trophy last season, a poor run of form saw Flowers dismissed, leaving the club in eighteenth place in the league. 41 year old Shan had held the role of interim manager at National League North side Kidderminster Harriers before being appointed at Solihull on Wednesday. “I’m very familiar with the football club and this is a progressive club, an ambitious club” said the former West Bromwich Albion coach and caretaker manager. “I’m also an ambitious individual and hopefully it’ll be a nice marriage”.

Scunthorpe United have announced that caretaker manager Russ Wilcox will remain in charge of the club up until the end of the season. Having made over 150 appearances for the club as a player, before going on to have a short spell as caretaker manager back in 2004. He then spent eleven months as manager of the side between 2013 and 2014, guiding the side to a League 2 runners up spot that season. Having been appointed as the clubs Under 23 manager several months ago, he was initially placed as caretaker manager several weeks ago, when former manager Paul Hurst was sacked last month. Club chairman Peter Swann said that a decision on who the next full time manager will be made at the end of the season.

Simon Grayson has become the most recent manager to have been sacked. The 50 year old was appointed as Blackpool manager back in July, but has been dismissed after just seven months in charge, after having won just one game out of their last twelve in all competitions. The run of form started in December, when the side were in fourth place in League 1, and has now resulted in the club slipping down to fifteenth in the third tier. “The club would like to thank Simon for his efforts during his time back at Bloomfield Road and wish him well for the future”, said Blackpool in a club statement. “A further announcement will follow in due course”. Grayson played almost 150 times for the side between 2002 and 2006, as well as being manager between 2005 and 2008, where he guided them to the Championship in 2007.

Southend United manager Sol Campbell has said that he is “disappointed” that the League 1 side did not sign any players in the January transfer window. Eight players left the Essex club during the window, with there also being reports that the club were close to signing Theo Vassell and Emmanuel Osade, who were recently released from Macclesfield Town, Campbells former club, but deals with the pair failed to materialise. “The January transfer window didn’t go well”, said Campbell. “I’m disappointed we didn’t bring anyone in but that’s not down to me, it’s controlled by those above me”. The club and the EFL both refused to state whether the club was under a transfer embargo.

Address : The Hive London, HA8 6AG

From: Carla Devine

With our away trip to Solihull now on a Tuesday I was making this trip from London like most other Barnet fans. I met some other Barnet fans in High Barnet at 1pm and we all got in the mini bus ready to start our journey up to the West Midlands. Around 3:30pm we arrived in Stratford-Upon-Avon for a pre-match stop off which gave us time to hop around a few pubs (one of which was appropriately named the Golden Bee!). By 6:15pm we were back on the road again heading to Solihull, where we arrived just before 7pm. I got my ticket and programme and headed through the turnstiles into the ground which has been done up since my last visit there with a new main stand installed. Most Barnet fans congregated in the club house to shelter from the cold so when I came out to get a hot chocolate before the game I was gutted to find out they didn’t have any! Me and some other Barnet fans chose to sit behind the dugout for the first half as the teams came out to get the game underway.

The start of the game was pretty end to end stuff with neither team looking more likely to score. Unfortunately though on 18 minutes a big chance came for them when they were given a penalty after a foul in the box. They put this away well and took the lead. As the half went on, Solihull hit the crossbar and Dunne had a good effort go wide but no more goals were scored. At half time I decided to switch to the terrace view for the second half. The second half started more positively but we were unable to convert our chances into goals. In the last 10 minutes of the game we pushed even harder and we were especially unlucky not to score on 86 minutes when their keeper pulled off an impressive save to keep us out. Despite our efforts in the closing minutes, it just wasn’t our day and the game finished 1-0 to them.

We made our way back into the mini bus before heading down south again. We were back in Barnet a bit after midnight and I just had the final bit of my journey to face getting two night buses to get me home. I was home by 1:30am meaning I could finally get my hot chocolate to warm me up before bed. Although it was disappointing to lose and end our run of 12 games unbeaten, it was a nice day out nonetheless.
