The remarkable rise of the Yorkshire spa town saw them win the Vanarama National League Promotion Final behind closed doors.

Not even a second half comeback from County – one of the oldest clubs in the country - could deny them as Diamond’s 70th minute strike sealed the victory.

Now work has to begin on digging up Harrogate`s 3G pitch at the CNG Stadium - something which has helped the club hugely financially but is not allowed in the Football League.
