Wetherby Road

Wetherby Road is a football stadium in Harrogate with covered stands, seating areas, and facilities arranged around a central playing pitch. The ground accommodates supporters and officials with multiple viewing positions and amenities designed for matchday use.

The ground opened in 1920 when the local football club moved from an earlier location to establish a new home. The stadium developed over the decades and remained central to football in the area.

The ground witnessed its highest attendance of 4,280 spectators during the 1949-50 Whitworth Cup Final between Harrogate Town and Harrogate Railway.

The stadium is within walking distance of local transport links, making it accessible by foot or bus from various parts of town. Arriving early helps visitors orient themselves and find their seats comfortably before matches begin.

The playing surface underwent major renovation in 2020 to meet league standards required for higher-level football. This upgrade was necessary when the local team earned promotion to compete at a new level.
