Harrogate Town

Harrogate Town Association Football Club was established in 1914, with the Sulphurites playing their football matches at The Envirovent Stadium since 1920. At the time, of course, it was known as Wetherby Road, with the current moniker being put in place because of sponsorship. The club itself was called Harrogate AFC, adding the ‘town’ to its title five years after its formation. Harrogate itself boasts famous sulphur springs, which is where the nickname ‘the Sulphurites’ comes from. They are also often referred to simply as ‘Town’ and the club plays in black and yellow. When Harrogate were promoted to League Two for the 2020-2021 season they played their opening home games at Keepmoat Stadium in Doncaster as The Envirovent Stadium underwent a number of changes.
