‘Looking a real threat’:

‘Really good start from Harrogate, they look a real threat’... says BT Sport summariser and Portsmouth Manager Danny Cowley.

Empty seats:

It is so disappointing to see those red empty seats... still can’t understand why the FA couldn’t arrange this game for a time when supporters would be allowed in!?!

Stead goes close again:

The veteran striker’s low 38th-minute strike is deflected goalwards by a Concord defender but Haigh pulls off a stunning reaction save with his leg to divert the ball over his cross-bar.

Goalless at the break:

Town have been very much the better team and in full control, without really looking at their best. Simon Weaver will want more from his players in the second 45. Special mention to Concord goalkeeper Chris Haigh who has been very impressive thus far.
