Since being promoted to League Two in 2020, we have been exceptionally proud to compete in the English football's fourth tier representing Harrogate. I'd like to thank you sincerely for your continued support in what is proving to be our most difficult and challenging season yet at this level. I share your deep disappointment and frustration with where we currently sit within the league, as does everyone at Harrogate Town Football Club and can assure you that we are resolute with our intention to retain league status for this season and beyond. It has been 16 years of hard work, perseverance and dogged determination to get here and there is absolutely no question that we are going to fight hard to stay in it. We are prepared and committed to working even harder to protect the work put in by everyone connected with our Club who helped get us here. This season started positively, however, since October time, we have suffered the worst injury crisis in our Club's recent history with 32 injuries to date this season, 19 of which are deemed to be severe. This has resulted in a cumulative loss of 1824 days of play meaning players are unavailable for selection due to injury. To give some perspective, this is 2.5 times higher than the average number of days lost in League Two typically. This is not an excuse and is a situation we have worked extremely hard to resolve. We have been consulting with industry experts and working with some of the most experienced football medical professionals, however there is no doubt that this situation has seriously impacted our season to this point. More positively, players are returning and the January transfer window, which is generally the strongest of the two for us, has secured us nine additional players recruited. We have to be realistic within the player market and what our budget allows so our focus is always on players who we believe will fit our mould and make a big contribution on the pitch. As a result, we have significantly strengthened the squad over the past month and this is starting to show through looking at recent performances, especially against Swindon Town on Tuesday night which in spite of the result, was one of our strongest performances this season. Looking ahead longer term, League Two as well as every other league has become more competitive every year since we gained promotion. We have managed to retain league status for five consecutive seasons through good recruitment, grit and determination as well as your fantastic growing support. At the time of writing our home support, not including away fans which we cannot control, is up 32% compared to three years ago. We have invested heavily to develop the stadium in line with EFL criteria and to become a fully-fledged professional role model football Club as well as achieving our ambition of having our own training ground facility which is in progress. We are striving hard to make the club more financially sustainable, however, the increasing gap in player wages and operational running costs make it a real challenge whilst trying to remain competitive at this level. Our player budget is now significantly higher than it was at the start of our EFL journey, however we have seen this fall in terms of league ranking due to the increased levels of spending of our competitors. Though I am encouraged by the role of the new Football Regulator whose aim is to enable Clubs to become financially sustainable, I am also aware that this will not be an easy task and will require significant investment and commitment from all parties involved.
