    Reports suggest the Football Association is considering moving Harrogate Town's FA Trophy final from May 3 to a date when fans can watch. The FA is not commenting on the matter.

    The Football Association has refused to comment on reports it is considering moving Harrogate Town's Wembley FA Trophy final so fans can attend.

    The club's supporter liaison officer Phillip Holdsworth told the Stray Ferret he met Harrogate & Knaresborough's Conservative MP Andrew Jones on Tuesday.


    According to Mr Holdsworth, Mr Jones told him the FA is looking at the possibility of moving Harrogate Town's game against Concord Rangers from May 3 to a date when fans are allowed to return to grounds.

    Mr Jones even said he would be "on the train to Wembley" with the Town fans if it happens, said Mr Holdsworth.

    Mr Holdsworth suggested a date of Sunday May 23, when there is currently no fixture at Wembley. On the day before, Wembley will host this season's FA Trophy final.

    However, he accepted that rearranging the fixture at such a late stage would be difficult, particularly as the venue is set to host several European Championship games this summer.

    The Stray Ferret contacted the FA but they said they would not comment on the speculation.
