CHARTER STANDARD

Knaresborough Celtic

 
Knaresborough Celtic's celebrations at achieving the coveted Charter Community award were almost blacked out when the floodlights failed at Harrogate Towns Wetherby Road ground.
 
Having worked hard to make the club a top class set up the club Officials and Players wanted to celebrate their efforts.  All the plans were laid and an official presentation would be made on the pitch at half time during the Harrogate v Stafford Rangers match

With over 100 club members present and the Harrogate and Stafford teams warming up for a 7.30pm kick off the lights went out. 
 
Luckily the lights came back on in time for the presentation, but the referee deemed it too late to start and the match was postponed
