and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
The Sulphurites may be in a lower division after Wrexham won promotion last season to EFL’s Sky Bet League 1 but the home side’s form is good in this fixture, drawing their last two matches in thrilling encounters against the Hollywood-backed footballers.

But, as Town players gear up to raise their game against Wrexham, who have enjoyed a remarkable rise in the EFL since Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds took ownership of the club in 2021 and currently sit third top in League 1, Harrogate as a whole is experiencing a dose of FA Cup fever.
One popular independent bar is even making an exclusive offer for this Sunday’s big match.

Meanwhile, fans going to the match (3.30pm kick-off) can do so in the confidence, that should it rain, and we hope it doesn’t, there will be no problem with the drains on Wetherby Road.
Harrogate Advertiser reader Bernard Higgins reports that Tuesday morning saw council staff hard at work draining and cleaning up the blocked drains on the road facing the Town ground.
A thank you note has already been sent to North Yorkshire Council!
