The history of the matchday programme here at Harrogate Town can be traced back to at least the early 1950′s.
Over the years, the publication has grown, in both page quantity and content and is at present a 44 page full colour production which the club is very proud of.
We have had many great programme editors at the club including Kevin Motley, Ken Welford and Bob Head (apologies to anyone else that I may have missed out.) If you were a programme editor for Town, please get in contact and I will add you to the list. Current editor, Peter Arnett, has been in post since the 2007-2008 season when the programme became a full colour affair.
As any good editor will tell you, you need great pictures to compliment the words, and again we have had some wonderful photographers, ranging from Paul Sumpton, Mark Langlands, Adrian Murray and various from the local newspapers, the Harrogate Advertiser and the now defunct Harrogate Herald.
Here is a collection of covers which have graced the programme throughout the years. Please click on the thumbnails for a larger version.
If anyone has any programmes that we can use to fill in the missing years, please contact me at PeterArnett@harrogatetownafc.com or see me on matchdays.
