Eyed up this fixture at the start of the season and took a day off work to tick another ground off. I''d seen Harrogate at Nuneaton in 2015 which ended goaless and again last year at Brackley 0-0 so this was a hattrick of games without goals! Left for the game later than planned due to a couple of unforeseen problems deciding to travel via the M65 and A59 the later was a nice change to the nightmare that is the M62. The game had a bit more riding on it with potential winners having the chance to go top as it was second v third but that would also need Orient to drop points, with Harrogates capacity being quite small I half expected the game to be all ticket but research only showed that the visitors wouldn''t be given any seats. Not being a fan of etickets I rang the club and was told they were the only option I purchased my ticket for collection but actually found it was a bit more disappointing than the print at home version looking more like a receipt. After picking up my ticket I walked down to Harrogate Railways ground which took about 15 minutes, with a bit more time I might have explored the town but decided to grab some food and a pint at a nearby pub(homemade chilli and chips which was nice). As for the game Harrogate shaded possession and half chances but didn''t really test the reds keeper whereas Wrexham had at least three clear cut chances from Fondop -Talom but was thwarted by man of the match Belfield. The result saw both sides drop a place with Salford going second after beating Hartlepool 3-0
