Harrogate Town FA Cup clash to be shown live on BBC

Harrogate Town will host Gainsborough Trinity in the FA Cup later this month.

Harrogate Town's FA Cup Round Two tie is set to be broadcasted live on BBC later this month.

Town welcome Gainsborough Trinity to the Exercise Stadium on Friday 29th November from 7:45pm.

As members of the Northern Premier League Premier Division, Gainsborough are the lowest ranked team in the competition.

And Simon Weaver's side will fancy their chances after seeing off high-flying Wrexham 1-0 in the FA Cup first round.

Speaking about their second round opponents, Town Manager Simon Weaver told Your Harrogate:

"We’ve had many hard battles against Gainsborough and not always come out top over the years.

"We’re delighted we’re at home and we would’ve been delighted against anybody at home in front of the fans.

"If we can make it just as hostile for the opposition and difficult to play in, as we all did against Wrexham, then we stand a chance of going through, but we won’t be getting ahead of ourselves."

The match will be shown on BBC Two on Friday 29th November. Kick off is at 7:45pm.
