With more season ticket holders than ever, Harrogate Town AFC is on track for a record-breaking season.
Harrogate Town AFC is scoring on and off the pitch, with a strong start to the new season.
Attendance figures for the first five games of the season have jumped from 2,567 last year to 3,083 this season.
And the even better news is that the home fans are boosting it further – from 1,956 last year to 2,433 this season.
Harrogate Town CEO Sarah Barry said: “Our early season numbers are phenomenal when you consider that historically, the summer holidays are usually a tougher month for us numbers-wise.
This gives us a huge amount of optimism and shows a promising season ahead, in terms of support as our club continues to grow.
Most season ticket holders in their history
For the first time in its history, the club has reached the goal of over 1,000 season ticket holders.
The start-of-the-season fans’ figures have also put it on track to achieve a record-breaking attendance season in 2025/26.
We are really excited and pleased by work on and off the pitch, which is reflected in these new figures. And there is a good atmosphere at the games for our fans to enjoy.
