Trophy success boosts Town
SIMON Weaver says Harrogate Town can use Covid-delayed FA Trophy glory as a springboard to becoming an established Football League club – as they finally signed off their 2019-20 season with a Non-League double.
Captain Josh Falkingham slammed in a 76th-minute winner for Town as they beat National League South Concord Rangers on Bank Holiday Monday to claim a unique slice of history as the first EFL side to win the competition.
It was a second Wembley win for Weaver’s men, having won the National League play-offs under the arch last August.
While Weaver knows they are enjoying the good times now, he says making this their NonLeague swansong is all the motivation they need.
“I think the fear of that (their Non-League chapter) not being closed will drive us on this summer and help us build from strength,” Weaver said.
“You look at Grimsby, who have got relegated after five years in the Football League. You look at that and we don’t want that huge disappointment they are suffering at the minute.
