Date is revealed for Harrogate Town's big FA Cup clash with Bradford City

The club’s Emirates FA Cup Round One tie at Bradford City will be played on Saturday, November 5 and, if you want to watch the match, you will need to buy a ticket and turn up in person.

Taking place on Guy Fawkes day at 12.30pm at The University of Bradford Stadium at Valley Parade, Town’s fixture is being played in this time slot due to the availability of medical provisions - including ambulances - to cover the game ahead of Bonfire Night.

Hal Boxhall-Dockree, Harrogate Town’s media manager, confirmed the news, adding: “The fixture will not be televised; the tie has not been selected for live broadcast.

"And it will not be available to stream.”

In the event of a draw, the replay will take place on Tuesday, November 15 at 7.45pm at The EnviroVent Stadium.

Harrogate Town will be hoping for at least a repeat of the 2012/13 when, under manager Simon Weaver, they reached the FA Cup second round proper – before going out to Hastings in a replay missing out on a glory clash with Middlesbrough.

In their recent league encounter with Bradford City, Town lost out away from home 2-1 having been 1-1 at half-time.

The club currently lie fifth from bottom in League Two of the EFL, though they bounced back earlier this week when they beat Morecambe 2-1 in the Football League Trophy.
