Harrogate barely has any fans of any description - less than 2,000 per game on average even last season.

Clearly, league football will be difficult to sustain on those numbers. The question is whether the promise of joining The 72 lures more supporters and maybe improved sponsorship from businesses in the local community.

Hoping for Brentford > Fulham. Want something new in the Prem.

Agreed. Newcastle managers saying they can't compete for players with Fulham is old hat.

'We can't compete with Brentford', by contrast, is something no NUFC manager has had the opportunity to say in over 70 years. And it's the variations on the theme that provide the rare moments of interest.

I would be interested to see what Kieran McGuire would peg the increase in revenues can be expected to be for Harrogate.

Brentford and it is weird seeing them playing in blue. Also, Michael Hector has stupid hair so that is another thing to root against.

Paul Konchesky is just as terrible as commentary as I expected

Well that certainly was a half of football

Onomah should have shot but he passed and that was in the first 10 minutes

Then and there
Yikes, 2nd half wasn't any better.

Brentford will need to find a Brentferrari gear for the extra time. As for Emptyham, they don't look like scoring, but maybe Mitrovic can bully a goal from a setpiece or something.
