After advice from North Yorkshire Public Health the club says it has had to regretfully cancel the fans watch event tomorrow afternoon

Harrogate Town has cancelled a party it had organised for fans to watch tomorrow's promotion final at the CNG Stadium.  Town travel to Wembley tomorrow for the first time in the team's history as the players bid to enter the Football League.

Fans though are not allowed to attend the big game due to coronavirus . So the club had set up the ticketed event at the Harrogate stadium.

Now it seems new advice means the fans will have to find somewhere else to watch the historic game.

A statement on the Club's website said:

Following the latest guidelines issued by central Government we have been contacted by North Yorkshire County Council Public Health who have strongly advised that it would be preferable that our Promotion Final watch party event be cancelled.In light of the latest guidelines, the advice from Public Health and the statutory rights available to Public Health to stop the event we have very little choice but to cancel the event.Full refunds will be processed next week for anyone who has purchased a bubble.
Please accept our sincere apologies for these unfortunate circumstances which are completely beyond our control.
We must act on the advice of Public Health and in the best interests of everyone involved, supporters and staff.
