Lanterne Rouge Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 Harrogate just beat Boreham Wood to get to the Conference final v Notts County or Barnet. JS came on as sub at 37, he must surely just love playing! One of my favourite City players, never the most skilful but always gave 110% and a thoroughly nice bloke too by all accounts. Good luck Jon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritAbroad Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 I'm surprised he's still playing. As you said, he must love the game. Good luck to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanatopia Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 Harrogate could be a football league team with Stead playing for them? Marvellous on both counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their second goal ( Callum Roberts) was a thing of beauty too, a mazy run that left half the Barnet side on their arses before he passed it into the net.

22A Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 Sunday 2nd August for those interested. BT Sports 1 since they've covered the NL all season. I'd like to see Harrogate in the league for some reason, but will they get the attendances needed to survive? Less than 2k most of the season and nearby are Leeds & Bradford. Also not too far away are York & Halifax, who although non league still reduce the pool of fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I`m sure he means in modern times as there must have been some tiny ones back in the very early days but it does make you wonder if they could survive.

054123 Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 ******* Legend to me. In sea of **** and sludge, he was the one player I somehow related to and that I felt was fighting to end for me.

Definitely similar players him and Fam. Great in the hair and both absolute workhorses. Would be happy for either team to be in the EFL, Harrogate are a new team in the EFL or atleast haven’t been there for a while and Notts County don’t deserve to be where they are.

Dr Balls Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 Always really liked Jon Stead. As others have said, always tried his hardest for us and gave his best on the pitch, even when others around him in that team (Albert always excepted too) were playing like dross! And as well as being a good player, who clearly loves playing, he also just seems to be a top bloke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a similar situation to us, in respect that fans of other clubs don’t realise just how rich our owner is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superjack Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 I did always like Stead. Cracking player for us. But I hope Notts County come back up. They're the world's oldest club, and they should be in the Football League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordy62 Posted July 26, 2020 Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 Jon Stead is the one player who’s player at Premier League level who’s played for us who’s come to AG and looked like he had played in the Prem. His hold up play and footballing brain were a cut above anyone we’ve had here for a long time. If you don’t love Steady, you’re not human. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see BPA back in the league...preferably in a redeveloped Horton Park Avenue ground. I've developed quite an interest in them, after seeing images of their ground (prior to demolition)...cracking place! Are Marine still going? Makes me think of the results on Grandstand.

Phileas Fogg Posted July 26, 2020 Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 He was a really good signing during a time when we were generally on a downward spiral. I have a feeling, if he wants to go into it, he would make a really good manager one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, South Liverpool. I remember watching Somerset play Yorkshire at Bradford in the old JPL and the cricket ground was next door to the old BPA ground. It looked so sad with the stands falling apart, grass six feet high on the pitch with the goalposts sticking out of it. Like Accrington, I would love them to get back in the league and yes, Marine are still going, playing in the NPL Division 1. South Liverpool seem to be in the West Cheshire League Division 1. As an aside, I was doing some work at a Salvation Army hostel in Liverpool a few years back and the caretaker that I was liaising with played CB for Marine and played in the same Everton youth team as Bradley Orr.

samo II Posted July 26, 2020 Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 As someone based in York, the possibility of Harrogate being a league team after Leeds finally got back into the Prem, while the Minstermen failed to get back to even the top tier of non-league is a thought a lot of locals here cannot bare thinking about.
