Matchday Guide| Harrogate (H)

17 February 2024

Crewe Alexandra will aim to make it three wins on the spin when they entertain Harrogate Town today (Saturday, 3pm).

Lee Bell’s side beat league leaders Stockport County at Edgeley Park in midweek, and sit in League Two's third automatic promotion place. 

The Opposition

Harrogate Town sit eighth in League Two after a good run of form since the turn of the New Year.

The Sulphurites were unbeaten in 2024, with four wins and two draws, until their heavy defeat to Mansfield in midweek.

The Gaffer

Simon Weaver is the longest serving manager in English after taking charge 14 years ago. He has taken Harrogate from the sixth tier to the EFL.

Weaver also played for Harrogate, as well as the likes of Sheffield Wednesday, Lincoln City and York. 

Fighting Talk

Ryan Dicker: “They are a team in form, one defeat doesn’t mean you are not in form. They have been on a terrific run of results. They are a good footballing team, really well organised, with and without the football.”

Simon Weaver: “They are at the top of the form table over the last 10 games. However, we are on the same amount of points (in that period) so we are really looking forward to the challenge.”

Head-to-Head

The two teams have only met three times, with Crewe still unbeaten. Earlier this season, The Railwaymen grabbed all three points thanks to a first-half goal from Zac Williams.

Match Officials

David Rock will be the man in middle for today’s clash. Darren Wildig and Thomas Staten will accompany him assistants, while Grant Taylor will act as the fourth official.

Rock has handed out 79 yellow cards and six red cards in his 21 games this season he has taken charge of this term.
