Harrogate Town: The numbers behind the disastrous season so far
Thirty games into the 2025/26 season, and Harrogate Town have struggled to meet expectations.
After four games, they were eighth. Now, they’re at the bottom of the table.
In a pre-season interview with the Stray Ferret, Harrogate manager Simon Weaver said he was confident his side could push for the play-offs. An early run of good results had many fans wondering if he was right.
Town’s 3-3 draw with Grimsby in the second game of the season displayed an attacking freedom and creativity that many craved.
