Harrogate Town fans to send cut-outs to crucial game
Fans of Harrogate Town will be able to send a cardboard cut-out version of themselves to the club's crucial play-off game later this month.
The cut-outs, which cost £20, will be placed in prominent locations within the CNG Stadium. Some will even be put inside changing rooms to inspire the players.
The game will be played behind closed doors and will also be shown live on BT Sport. The date is still to be confirmed, with Town set to play the winner of Halifax Town vs Boreham Wood.
The first 25 fans who buy a cut-out will have theirs signed by the entire first-team squad. Every fan who buys a cut-out will be able to collect it after the game as a memento.

Harrogate Town assistant manager Paul Thirlwell said the cut-outs could spur the team on to victory.
He said:
Jordan Ford from the Harrogate Town Supporters Club told the Stray Ferret the cut-outs are an "excellent idea and one which I hope the Town fans embrace".
He also said the supporters club has organised a 20ft x 10ft flag to display at the stadium which includes pictures of fans.
Several sports team around the world have asked fans to buy cut-outs so they can feel part of the action whilst bringing in much-needed revenue. However, last weekend Leeds United were forced to apologise after an Osama Bin Laden cut-out was spotted at Elland Road.
