Harrogate Town welcome Bradford City tomorrow in crunch Yorkshire derby
A large travelling away support is expected as Harrogate hope to end a poor streak with victory in the Yorkshire derby.
A bumper crowd is expected at Harrogate Town tomorrow as they welcome Bradford City in a crunch Yorkshire derby.
Town are on on a poor run of form and haven't won in League Two since beating Gillingham away on August 16.
It's been even longer since they last tasted victory at home, when they beat Swindon 3-0 on July 30.
The squad had a major overhaul during the summer, with 15 new signings, but it's taking longer to gel than manager Simon Weaver would have liked.
Despite all he's achieved during his 13 years in charge, Weaver's position is being questioned by some fans.
In a pre-match interview, he said:
"We expect Bradford will bring lots of fans. There's lots of interest from a Harrogate point of view and we expect a buoyant crowd. It should be an eventful game."

Attendances at the EnviroVent have been down on last season but around 2,500 tickets have been sold for the game so far, which includes 600 Bradford fans.
The game kicks off at 1pm.
Tickets are on sale from the club's Commercial Street store until 4pm today. There will be no further sales after this point.
