STADIUM ADDRESS
ENVIROVENT STADIUM

ABOUT THE GROUND
The EnviroVent Stadium, more commonly known as Wetherby Road, has been inhabited by Harrogate Town since 1920 after their move from Starbeck Lane.
As Harrogate had never previously been a part of the EFL, Wetherby Road had to undergo significant renovations upon their promotion.
The stadium had previously boasted an artificial pitch, which is not allowed under EFL restrictions, forcing Town to replace the surface with grass.
Similarly, Wetherby Road was renovated in order to meet the required 5,000 capacity under EFL law, forcing Town to play home games at Doncaster Rovers’ Keepmoat Stadium.

City supporters are reminded that tickets for this afternoon's clash are completely SOLD OUT.
