Harrogate Town's ground renamed 'EnviroVent Stadium'
Harrogate Town's stadium on Wetherby Road has been renamed the EnviroVent Stadium ahead of the new season kicking off next week.
EnviroVent is a Harrogate-based manufacturer of ventilation equipment to homes and social housing, employing over 230 people at its Hornbeam Business Park headquarters.
The firm has a long-standing relationship with the club and has sponsored a stand for the past seven seasons.
2020 marks 100 years since the opening of the stadium, which was previously known as the CNG Stadium.
EnviroVent’s managing director Andy Makin said:
A new main stand was recently constructed at the ground with close to 1,000 seats, boosting capacity to 5,000.
Garry Plant, managing director at Harrogate Town, added:

The club aims to be back at its ground by early October.
The club kick-off their first-ever campaign as an EFL club with a trip to Tranmere Rovers in the EFL Cup on Saturday.
