Harrogate Town have already sold more than 2,200 tickets for next week's cup match against Blackburn Rovers.

Tickets went on general sale today for the match which will see Simon Weaver’s side take on Championship side Blackburn Rovers in what is arguably the club's most illustrious match ever.

The Carabao Cup round two fixture will be the first time Harrogate has hosted a Championship club, with League One Blackpool and Portsmouth the previous highest ranked to visit.

A place in round three of the competition awaits the winners, with more Premier League clubs added to the draw, including the likes of Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United.

A Town spokesman said this afternoon:

"In total we have sold 2,200-plus tickets so far, which includes Blackburn’s full allocation of 450, which is the most we could give them due to the ongoing groundworks at the stadium."


Rovers narrowly missed out on a play-off place last season, finishing seventh in the Championship and missing the chance to return to the Premier League, which they won in 1994/95.

Manager Jon Dahl Tomasson made over 100 international appearances for Denmark and has an honours list that includes a Serie A title, Eridivisie win as well as UEFA Cup and UEFA Champions League successes.

Having once lined up alongside the likes of Paulo Maldini, Andrea Pirlo, Rivaldo and Andriy Shevchenko, Tomasson is set to face off against Simon Weaver at the EnviroVent Stadium on Wetherby Road.

Town supporters can buy one ticket per person in their name and assign three others. Tickets are on sale here, or in-person from the club's Commercial Street Store.

Season tickets are not valid for this fixture.
