Manager Weaver wants fight from Harrogate Town

Weaver is in his third season in charge at Harrogate Town

Harrogate Town manager Simon Weaver is demanding more fight from his players when they play FC Halifax on Saturday.

Weaver saw his side beaten 4-0 at Histon in Blue Square Bet North in their last game and has told his players they need to do much better.

Weaver told BBC Radio York: "That's a massive game in Harrogate Town's history for me.

"We want to give it everything. First challenges have to be won and the passionate lads will play."

He added: "We've got to fight and we want to beat Halifax. We've got a massive crowd to play in front of.

"I'd be massively hurt by the scoreline [at Histon] and just when you're thinking there's some flickers of hope and these new lads are setting in it's put us back a bit.

"We've got to lick our wounds and assess if everyone is toeing the line in terms of attitude."
