Harrogate ground sharing with Doncaster (1 Viewer)

[Nick]

Now they have been promoted they can't play on the artificial pitch and there's no time to get it sorted so are having to ground share with Doncaster.

88 mile round trip, bit of a mission but I am sure their fans will still do it to see them playing League Football.

Guessing it'll be short term until they get their stadium sorted. May even be done by the time fans are allowed back in.

It'll only be for a few weeks though....they need 10 weeks to complete the works & they start ripping it out today.

Seems a bit mental to go all the way to Donny tho.....Leeds, York, Bradford, Huddersfield all a lot closer......

Thats not that bad then if its just while the pitch is replaced.

The club had a promotion-triggered contract to replace the pitch apparently....... good to see some quality strategic planning in action.

Doncaster chairman and Harrogate chairman are mates it seems. Both in the building trade. Imagine they got a good deal.

Ah ha.....fair enough.

Could they not have used Valley Parade which is much closer?

Builder folk are generally the best
Made of the right stuff , with super skills., honed over their entire career until it all becomes second nature.

Edit:- mate's rates, cash in hand .
No income tax or VAT .
Del!!

Maybe 2 or 3 home games “away” from home. We could only dream of this

Its going to be behind closed doors until the winter, so does not affect the fans
They will be back in Harrogate by the time fans are allowed in !!
