Harrogate Town's manager Simon Weaver is using his family as motivation to keep the club in the English Football League. With Harrogate Town bottom of League Two, Weaver told BBC Radio York that his children are his top priority. He has two kids on Easter holidays and recently spent time with them, having a barbecue and playing games. This family time helps him stay focused on the task at hand. Harrogate Town is set to face Newport County in a crucial relegation showdown at Rodney Parade on Saturday. Newport is currently a point and two places above Harrogate Town in the league table. Weaver believes that knowing they can overtake Newport provides his team with extra motivation. In recent weeks, Harrogate Town has won away games against relegation rivals Barrow and Tranmere Rovers, keeping them close to the teams above them. Weaver is confident in his team's ability to score goals and be an attacking threat. He also thinks that being resolute at the back will be key to their success. The 48-year-old manager is determined to do what is best for his family and his team. He owes it to them to come to work fresh and do his job to the best of his ability. And with the support of his family, Weaver is ready to face the challenges ahead. But the task will not be easy, as Newport County will be fighting to stay ahead of Harrogate Town. So the stage is set for a intense and crucial match at Rodney Parade on Saturday. Harrogate Town's players will need to be at the top of their game if they want to win and move up the league table. The team has been working hard in recent weeks, and their efforts have paid off with some important wins. Now they need to keep the momentum going and secure a vital victory against Newport County. With Weaver's family motivation and the team's determination, Harrogate Town is ready to give it their all and fight for their place in the EFL.
