Harrogate Town to open Hall of Fame
Harrogate Town are to open a Hall of Fame recognising people who have made outstanding contributions to the club in its 108-year history.
The Hall of Fame will be located in multiple locations in Harrogate: the new supporters bar at the EnviroVent Stadium on Wetherby Road, the club shop on Commercial Street, the Exercise.co.uk executive lounge at the ground and the Cedar Court Hotel.
A Hall of Fame committee, chaired by supporter Bernard Higgins and consisting of supporters and club officials, has been meeting monthly since June.
The first 11 inductees were selected from an extensive list compiled by club historian Phil Harrison.
Their names will be announced between January 23 and February 2 and an official launch event attended by chairman Irving Weaver and manager Simon Weaver at the Cedar Court Hotel on February 9.
The launch event will be held at the Cedar Court Hotel.
Following the event, details will be revealed on how supporters can help to shape the Hall of Fame and select the 12th and final inductee of the 2022/23 season.
Inaugural Hall of Fame members, along with family of those who have died, will be invited back to the EnviroVent Stadium over the course of the 2022/23 season, where their contributions to the club will be celebrated.
Each season, two more individuals will be inducted to the Hall of Fame.
