IN LOVING MEMORY JOHNNY WALKER

Before kick-off, we will be holding a minute’s applause for Town supporter Johnny ‘The Legend’ Walker, who sadly passed away recently.

Johnny had carried out almost every role at the club off the pitch, from selling raffle tickets, selling programmes, manning the gate, preparing the food for halftime in the board room and running a raffle on the away coach.

Johnny’s daughter Claire said “I remember my mum telling him that he was always at the football, and she’d take him his bed down there. I remember being at one midweek away cup match which we won. The cup was filled up with beer and passed around this large table we were all sitting at! Most of our family parties have been at the football club, my 21st, Mum and Dad’s Silver Wedding Anniversary, the last one was Dad’s 80th which he arranged himself, as he said that was his best one, because he got to choose for himself who came, like he said it was like having one big happy family. That’s the way it’s been for years for Dad, there’s been family and also his football family, one things for sure his passion and his love for Harrogate town, and football could never be doubted!”

SIMON WEAVER

Iwould like to take the time to warmly welcome you along to the EnviroVent for what will be another difficult test against Nigel Clough and his Mansfield Town side.

It’s important that I pay credit to the lads because they are showing great courage to play football in the right manner, we have shown a real composure since our victory in the FA Cup.

Two moments in the opening exchanges cost us the three points against Leyton Orient. It was disappointing to see us go behind in the way we did. We had worked a lot on set pieces during the week and that was a tough one to take. At this level, all it takes is one or two players to switch off and that was all it was for us to be two behind.

The reaction from the everyone on the pitch is exactly what we want from this group of players. No one let their heads drop, no one lost their discipline and we still fought to create chances but ultimately we ended up with no points.

The opportunities we created were as good as we could have hoped for. However, at 2-0 down maybe there is a bit more pressure on these moments. It certainly wasn’t for a lack of creativity, the forward players had a great game. Danny Grant had one cleared off the line which was a piece of great defending but those are the fine margins that it comes down to.

It’s important to remember that we were playing the team who sit top of the league and we looked a competitive outfit. It wasn’t like we were dominated, we played some entertaining football and showed some confidence on the ball.

However, it is out of possession where we must improve. We need to shut the back door and start finding a way to get some clean sheets on the board. As a team at this level our lives depend on it.

Today will be a very physical test, Mansfield are a team who have several different threats across the 11 and we have to be able to deal with those threats. We will be looking to bring many of the traits we showed last week to the game today.

We want to bring you our supporters football to enjoy. At home we want to take the game to teams and play on the front foot. In our last two matches, we have played two teams who were in good form and the performance has been good so we want to back that up with some positive results.

Thank you for your support!

THE SKIPPER

JOSH FALKINGHAM

Today’s match against Mansfield promises to be a very tough test. They are a side who have a lot of experience. Nigel Clough has been their manager for a couple of years now and there is certainly an element of consistency in the qualities they bring.

We’ll be up against it physically but the onus is on us to make our home advantage count and get on the ball. If we can do that well and dominate the game we’ve shown that we can be a competitive outfit in these games.

I’d like to take this time to highlight the fantastic support you have shown us in the last couple of weeks. We have noticed a real buzz coming back to us on the pitch, it definitely makes a difference to everyone who is playing. I hope that you keep turning out in your numbers and supporting us the way you have been.

The Leyton Orient result last week was disappointing for us, I think everyone who was in the ground can agree that there wasn’t very much between the two sides. However, we can’t give away cheap goals in games like that because they’ll use the momentum they have to see the game out.

As captain, I believe we are on the right path to success. However, we know we have to keep

improving as a unit to turn good performances in to results. It can be difficult to keep that belief in what we are doing if the results aren’t 100% what we want but as a group of players there is a real belief amongst us in the way we are trying to play.

Marrying good performances with good results is the key to our success. At the start of the season goals were harder to come by, now it’s clean sheets so we have to find a way of getting it right consistently.

Defensively, we have to manage the key moments of matches better. We have shown this season that we are capable of getting the performance and result we were after. If you look at the Bradford game that was a fine example of that, away from home.

In the past, our games against Mansfield have always been very tight, we picked up a good result at their place not that long ago so we know we are capable of doing it today at home. They are a team full of intelligent and experienced players so today is where we want to improve on how we manage key moments.

Enjoy the game

HAMILTON MATTOCK

I have just about settled into my new role as Fan Engagement Manager and I want to thank you all for all your kind words and well wishes that I received when the news was announced.

This week we said goodbye to a true legend of the Club. Johnny Walker was a volunteer at Harrogate Town for over 50 years, selling raffle tickets and helping around at the ground.

On match days Tricia and I would have to get to the ground early to set up the 1919 clubhouse and Johnny was always the first smiling face you would see and most of the time the last face you would see whilst locking up at the ground afterwards! Who remembers the Golden Ball which helped raise money for the club - Johnny would track you down for weekly payments, and in his own time, he managed to sell tickets to independent shops in the town centre. Johnny was immensely proud to call himself a Town Fan and would happily share some old stories to anyone who would listen to them with his immense knowledge of players, past and present. Johnny was no ordinary volunteer - he dedicated so much time to the club, he would travel with the players on away games and help anywhere he possibly could.

As a Club we are blessed to have volunteers who have been part of our journey and continue to dedicate time and energy to Harrogate Town AFC. Johnny Walker was and will always be remembered as a significant servant to the Club, who will never be forgotten. Plans are underway to do something permanent within the ground to mark his dedication and all that he contributed throughout the many years of support. No doubt he will be looking down on us today cheering us on.

Other Updates:

We are committed to making the matchday experience better, with the introduction of the Bar in the Marquee and with further developments. Another bar will hopefully be in place soon as well as the new LED scoreboard.

We have introduced a variety of options when purchasing tickets including Flexi Tickets and other promotions such as Season Ticket Holders ‘Bring a Friend’ promotion and the ‘3 games for the price of 2 offer. Back by popular demand, we will be launching the Half Season Ticket shortly. Please look out for some more exciting offers in the up and coming weeks.

We will also be launching a Junior Membership scheme- keep an eye out for more information on this exciting offer for all young Town fans.

I attended the Bradford City FA Cup game recently and was blown away with the continued support. The constant singing and the loudness of our fans was amazing and to outsing the home supporters takes some doing at Valley Parade! Well done everyone who attended the game!

As always, if anyone has any questions, please done hesitate to contact me via email hamiltonmattock@harrogatetownafc.com or come and see me on a matchday.

Enjoy the game today. Proud To Be Town.

DALY MATTY

ISS. #11 - HTFC v MTFC

0.012%. The percentage of players in youth academies across England who have the opportunity to play at least one minute of Premier League football. Therefore, when Huddersfield Town loanee Matty Daly was released by Everton at the age of 14 the professional footballer dream could seem to some like it was slipping away...

However, despite his release Daly looks back with fond memories –“I was young and it gave me a lot of experience. We went away and played in a lot of tournaments and as a young kid I was training twice a week and playing at the weekend so it was fun. Naturally as you get older, it becomes more serious but I really enjoyed my time with Everton.“

A move to Huddersfield Town quickly followed for the goal scoring midfielder. Daly admits it didn’t take long to convince him that The Terriers were right choice for him.

He explained: “I went down to Huddersfield and really enjoyed it from the first minute. The set up was great and the staff were really positive towards me. When I experienced that I Just knew that it was a great opportunity for me.”

After signing for the club almost four years prior, the April of 2019 brought a Premier League debut for the then 18-year-old as he came on in a narrow defeat to Watford.

Speaking on the occasion, he said: “I had been on the bench a few times before I actually got on. One of the lads picked up an injury and I came on in the 42nd minute. We played Watford at

home and it was a great experience. The one thing I remember is how high the standard was.

“This was my first taste of senior football, previously I had played a lot of academy football but the difference between the two is quite big.”

“My family had travelled to any game where I made the bench before my debut because they knew there was a chance I could play. They even travelled to Brighton just to see if I would come on.So to make my debut in front of them was just a perfect moment. I think they were a bit relieved that I had achieved that but for me it was all about kicking on after that. I felt good enough to be in and around it when I made my debut and I was always looking to back myself.”

For several professional footballers, the opportunity to represent their county on a national level is an honour of the highest regard. However, few are fortunate enough to achieve this accolade.

Despite his age of 21, this is an experience which Daly has been fortunate enough to hold. The attacking midfielder has been chosen to represent England on a number of occasions at U17s and U18s level.

harrogatetownafc.com

Reflecting on the achievement, Town’s number 28 believes the exposure to this environment helped him to improve as a player.

He revealed: “I really appreciate the opportunity I was given to represent my country. The coaching staff especially showed a belief in me as a young lad and every day I was there trained hard to make sure I took advantage of the opportunity.

“Working with different coaches and different players helps to make you a better player. You’re playing with the best players in the country at your age so it was a great opportunity to improve.”

Despite scattered involvement, it was a move to fellow League 2 side Hartlepool United where Daly experienced his first taste of regular first team involvement.

This was a move which Daly felt was important to continue his development.

He explained: “Hartlepool was an exciting move for me, it was a challenge and fresh chapter in my career. I think it was a challenge which I needed. I had spent a lot of time in Huddersfield and in academy football.

“This was the first time I moved away from home and took myself out my comfort zone personally and professionally. I overcome that challenge in many ways during my time at Hartlepool. I really enjoyed my time there and it helped me to mature and learn a bit more about first team football.

“As a player, I always want to be an attacking threat and there I think I was. I scored seven goals in the first half of the season but that’s the bar now and I want to score more here.”

It was form which led to Daly’s recall to Huddersfield during the January transfer window of 2022 and as he looked to make an impact on his return the midfielder was pleased with his progress.

He said: “As a whole it was the first step in the right direction for me in senior football. The club wanted to see if I could make an impact for Huddersfield but that wasn’t to be so they wanted to get me back out and playing on loan so I joined Bradford City.”

However, despite a strong start to the 21/22 season, a foot injury plagued Daly’s time with our Yorkshire rivals.

Speaking on the injury, he explained: “I picked up a significant foot injury when I joined Bradford. I had to get an operation which set me quite far back. It was frustrating for me because I just wanted to get on the pitch and do what I do best but I couldn’t just play through the pain.

“If I had of tried that, it would have impacted me this season and I didn’t want to have the situation dragging on for any longer. I had a lot of momentum with me at the time which all just stopped but I was able to get the issue resolved and start a fresh.”

@HarrogateTown harrogatetownAFC #ProudToBeTown HarrogateTownAFC 16

A move to Town materialised in the summer transfer window and the club’s top scorer this season is looking to carry on his form in to the new year.

He said: “I’m on five goals already going in to November and that is something which I want to carry on. Looking ahead there is a lot of football to be played so going in to January and the new year I want to be in good form.

“I’m here to put numbers on the board, I want to create and score and I enjoy my football doing that. If I am providing that to the team then it will please the manager, coaches and the fans.”

“I’m really enjoying my football here just now. The group of players we have here is great, the lads are great and everyone gets along well. When it comes to business as well everyone is bang on it.”

And this delight is shared with Daly’s parent club Huddersfield Town who are pleased with the midfielders development.

He revealed: “They are really happy with my development and the amount of minutes I am getting this season. That’s all part of a learning process but I think between myself, Huddersfield and this club we are all happy with how I am doing which is great.”

Having featured alongside Alex Pattison and Josh Falkingham in recent weeks, the 21-year-old believes the opportunity to play alongside these experienced professionals has improved him in the opening months of the campaign

He said: “When you have people around you who have a lot of experience is always a benefit. For me, they are always helping me whether that be in games or in training, they have high standards in everything they do.

“They are always encouraging me to go out and express myself and contribute to the attack but it’s also about working hard defensively and it’s good to play alongside them, working together as a team.”

In reflecting on the sides start to the season Daly believes he is in a great environment to continue his development as a player.

He explained: “The style of football we play suits me very well. We haven’t had the best of starts but I have learned a lot here and I think it’s paying off now. As a player I put pressure on myself to provide for the team. I am here to do that every week and when we start picking up results it will be even better.”

THE MEN IN CHARGE

Reg Taylor 1978-79

Reg Taylor, a fully fledged FA Coach and grade one referee was appointed Town’s new manager for 1978/79 in Yorkshire League Division Three taking over from Alan Milburn.

Taylor was a former player having joined the youthful Wetherby Road outfit for 1955/56 in Yorkshire League Division One. He had been brought in as an outstanding junior from Bramham and his brother Alan played for Town in a handful of games at the end of the season. After leaving for a short while, Taylor returned for the 1958/59 campaign and stayed until 1961/62. In that time, he helped Harrogate Town reach the West Riding County Cup Final in 1959/60, losing 1-0 to Farsley Celtic in a replay as well as winning promotion back to Yorkshire League Division One. He also gained a cup losers medal in the Yorkshire League Cup Final of 1961/62. During this time, he made 169 appearances in all competitions, scoring 42 goals. His third spell with Town was in February 1968 when he returned as coach in place of Bob Cundall and he continued in that role for the following campaign.

Taylor came to manage Town after being coach/ manager at Harrogate Railway Athletic from 1969-1973 and also ran the Claro/Craven schools Under-15s where he would be on the lookout for local young players to bring through into the first team and wanted Harrogate people.

After the disappointment of relegation the previous season, the campaign

Historian Phil Harrison reviews the successes and failures of Harrogate Town’s managers over the years...

under Taylor began surprisingly well as Town won four of their first five league games and soon secured top spot. Unfortunately after that initial great start, the rot set in and the season fizzled out with a disappointing final league position of third from bottom.

As a result, in May 1979, Taylor was unfortunately relieved of his post as manager, ironically a year to the day from he was appointed. Taylor couldn’t understand why more local players didn’t come to Town especially with Yorkshire League Football on their own doorstep. This was a very low point in Town’s history.

In total, Reg managed the club for 32 league and cup games winning eight, drawing six and losing 18.

NOVEMBER – MEN’S HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH

During this month where we raise awareness of the importance of mental health and how we are making a positive impact on peoples lives.

Patrick was 29 when his father passed away in 2019, it left him heading towards a very dark place. He felt lonely, lost, isolated, low on confidence with very little if any self esteem. Added to this a feeling of uncertainty and not knowing how to deal with certain situations. The most worrying is that he didn’t feel like he could speak to anyone about it. Through a work connection Patrick pushed himself out of his comfort zone and joined our Town Runners running group. It was to be the start of the climb back, the benefits of exercise and meeting new people transformed him. Patrick had energy, the confidence returned and more importantly he opened up and talked. Three years on he is a big part of the group, enjoying taking part in local and regional events and now supporting others around him. Patrick went on to say “I’m a more confident person and love a challenge, I have made so many friends in the Town running family”.

Chris is 71 and joined the running group in early October having suffered an injury that affected him physically and mentally. In February, an Achilles tendon and heal tear left him facing surgery, three weeks in plaster and three months in a surgical boot. Rehab was always going to be tough but with the support of the running group, he is well on his way to his goal of taking part in the Ilkley Half Marathon in 2023. Chris regularly shares what the group means to him, “I was made to feel welcome by everyone, its social and fun and great to be able to chat as we run, my mental health is back to where it should be”.

The Duchy Hospital Launches Private GP Service

Do you find it difficult to see your GP at a time that is convenient for you?

Dr Jason Jones will be seeing patients at The Duchy Hospital, giving time for concerns to be discussed. We also offer a comprehensive GP led Health Screening service.

I’m very happy and excited to be joining the team at The Duchy and providing some Primary Care services. Being based within the hospital will also give me access to all the hospital’s facilities, services and consultant colleagues. This should improve the patient journey if any secondary care referrals are needed.

IN THE DUGOUT

NIGEL CLOUGH

Appointed

: Nov 2020

As a player Nigel Clough played mostly as a striker, and it was under father Brian’s tutelage that he began his league playing career at Nottingham Forest in 1984. He made 403 appearances and scored 131 goals in two spells with the club, becoming Forests’ second top scorer of all time. After three years with Liverpool, he wound up at Manchester City from where he returned to Forest on loan. He also collected 14 England caps.

In late 1998, he moved into management as player-manager of Burton Albion in the Southern Football League and spent the next 10 seasons with the Brewers, making over 225 appearances and leading them to the Conference. In 2009 he was lured to Derby County, but after four seasons parted company with the Rams and took over at Sheffield United in October 2013. He returned to Burton as manager in late 2015 and guided the club to the Championship for the first time in 201516 but stepped down in May 2020 due to the financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the club. He returned to football in November 2020, joining Mansfield as manager and leading them to the play-off final last season.

The Exeter-born player won the Sky Bet League One ‘Golden Glove’ award in 2019/20, keeping 15 clean sheets in an excellent season in Cambridgeshire and appeared 82 times for the Posh before his loan move to Stevenage earlier this year.

‘LOVE FOOTBALL. PROTECT THE GAME’

To mark the new season, we want to make you aware of new measures being taken across all of football to ensure everyone can have a safe and enjoyable experience. We are supporting strong action from the FA, Premier League and EFL to tackle anti-social and criminal behaviours that put all of us at risk.

We know those who commit these illegal acts do not represent the majority of supporters. #LoveFootball #ProtectTheGame
