Notts County vs Harrogate Town Live Score and Stream (1-3): HARROGATE TOWN ARE PROMOTED

We hope you enjoyed the coverage and there will be more to come on the website.

Farewell for now.

Harrogate Town are Promoted to the Football League and Notts County will remain in non-league.

"The athleticism stood out and the characters, we just wanted it...

After being dominant the first half... the next goal, they say at 2-0 is vital, we questioned ourselves a little bit, fell a little bit dept, impetutous... but Jon Stead was pivot and took it away from Notts County."

“It’s unbelievable to actually hear those words (Promotion to the Football League)… it’s been some journey, hopefully this isn’t the end of it but we’ve had to go through loads to get here… hopefully people are learned more about Harrogate Town today.”

Betty's Team Room a hangover cure on Monday...

Just an amazing feeling...

To play in such a short space of time, with such a small squad and no big names... we are a group of teammates and a close-knit group.

We were desperate (to win) so we feel deserved it... we managed the game, managed the tough little periods... we fully deserved the win.

I'm so proud of them (the players)...

they all know we didn't turn up in the first half... threw it out the window in the first...

I told them we will come back stronger ... to make sure we don't feel this pain next season.

I'm gutted for the fans, they haven't had the best... gutted we couldn't put in a performance for them.

On the day, the best team won.

We need to keep that bond.

They are in dreamland after turning professional only 3 years ago!

Leeds United promoted to the Premier League

Huge cheers go up from the sidelines as time runs out for Notts County.

There will be 5 added minutes to normal time.

5 minutes for Notts County to keep their Football League dream alive.

5 minutes for Harrogate to hold on and make history.

One minute of added time and Notts County are throwing everyone forward but unable to hold on to the ball as Belshaw picks up loose ball after loose ball for Harrogate.

Time is not the friend of Notts County right now as Harrogate take their time and play long-ball football for the first time today.

Harrogate - Beck on for Muldoon

Notts County - Kelly Evans on for Brindley

Only six minutes left of normal time for Notts County to find a way back into this game.

Harrogate slowing the game down and looking comfortable so far.

Town are in dreamland.

A strange but entertaining second half so far, with Notts County on top but Harrogate agonisingly close to scoring a third.

End-to-end.

There looks to be a hand-ball by Notts County in the mix-up but Referee does not see it.

Ardley has rallied his troops and Notts County have been the better side this half.

And the first glimpse of former Magpie, Jon Stead as he is brought on for Aaron Martin up-front.

Things are heating up at Wembley as Hall goes into the Referee's book for a nasty foul on Thomas.

Wes Thomas loses his cool for a minute as the two square off... Hall is about 2 foot taller than Thomas so the latter quickly backs down

This time, substitute Boldewijn goes close from 20 yards as a revitalised Notts County knock at the door.

Penetrating run from Roberts creates space from a strike from 20 yards.

Harrogate Town have been dominant this half and Notts County look deflated.

Brilliant defending by Brindley for Notts County to flick over a threatening Thomson free-kick on the right edge of the box.

Harrogate full of confidence.

Harrogate Town have been superb this half.

You would not want to be in the Notts County changing room at half-time.

Ardley is red with rage as Martin evades the County defence and really should have made it 3-0 to Harrogate.

Martin has his head in his hands as strikes the post from 3 yards after latching on to Burrell's flick on in the box.

Town, on the other hand, attacking at will and coming up against minimal Notts County opposition.

His midfield have gone missing and Harrogate are finding themselves deep into their opponent's half with ease.

Notts County are forming a six-man defensive line without the ball with is leaving large spaces for Harrogate.

Hall converts Thomson's free-kick at the back post and Notts County are in shock.

Too easy from the set-piece for an unmarked lunging Connor Hall.

Harrogate Town deservedly leading and should be further ahead after the Lions' share of possession and chances.

There is no fear and no absence of confidence in this Yorkshire side under the Arch of Wembley.

They have been the better side so far.

Richard Brindley seeing more action now as Notts County favour the right wing but unable to get passed his left-back counterpart in an intriguing battle.

Notts County asleep.

Seems dismayed by what he is seeing as he stands on the edge of his technical box.

Martin will have his head in his hands after missing that but Town continue to look the stronger.

Notts County struggling to retain possession.

Fallowfield managed to cross far too easily into the front post where Thomson got ahead of the Notts County defender.

AND GOAL!

Great start from Harrogate Town.

Harrogate shooting from left to right as the players take a knee in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.

After we beat Barnet in the semi-final there were no celebrations, just a quiet determination. The job is only half done and we are going to play against a very strong team in the final. We've given ourselves an opportunity. But whatever way it goes, I will be be proud of them and proud of what they have achieved.

The players are not the type to get all starry-eyed but most of them haven't played there before. I haven't been to Wembley since I went to see Sheffield Wednesday back in 1993!

This promotion final is reward for everyone at the club but we are in no way treating this as a day out.

Even in the sparse surroundings, tension is building here at the home of football and we are in for a cracking game to decide the final place in the English Football League next season.

It's been another great year of coverage from BT Sport. To have our competition sit amongst action from the Champions league and Premier League is a delight...

May I close by wishing both clubs and their supporters the very best of luck. It's been a gruelling and challenging season, with a hugely competitive play-off format at the end of it.

Wembley Stadium is a truly fitting stage to conclude the Vanarama National League campaign.

Notts County will have the experience in their ranks but on paper Harrogate Town look the stronger, finishing higher in the league and the regular season stronger.

However the Magpies will be no pushovers and defeated eventual Champions Barrow just before the break. 

Notts County are in their all green kit whilst Harrogate in their home yellow and black.

Notts County are currently practicing short passes in limite space whilst Harrogate drill diagonals. 

It will go straight to penalties to decide the final place in the English Football League next season.

Slocombe; Turner, Lacey, Brindley, Bagan, O'Brien, Doyle, Rose, Dennis, Wootton, Roberts

Harrogate will line-up in their familiar Yellow and Black:

Belshaw; Fallowfield, Burrell, Falkingham, Smith, Hall, Thomson, Kerry, Martin, Muldoon, Diamond

That means Notts County retain Kristian Dennie upfront with West Thomas remaining on the bench.

Harrogate have also opted for the same side that beat Boreham Wood. Jon Stead therefore remains on the bench as Jack Muldoon is preferred in attack.

The transport systems are empty, Wembley Way is sparsely populated by tourists and the stands are dawned by spatterings of flags and media.

The saying goes that 'Football is nothing without fans' and that feels particularly pertinent today as the coliseum of Wembley Stadium will be filled not by the songs and chants of faithful fans, but the echoing whistle of the Referee.

Sadly, the setting cannot be shared with the hordes of fans that will be following the game at homes and pubs across the country. 

Fortunately, you can stay turned for live coverage of the Play-Off final from Wembley Stadium here, as Notts County play Harrogate Town for a place in the English Football League.

“As a manager that’s your first job -  be a leader of men, not a football coach

“Even with office staff, we’ve managed to keep spirits going during those tough times.

“I suppose you could write a book about what this club has been through over the last couple of years.

“Sometimes the downsides and all the negatives we’re talking about can make the upside that much greater.

“Now we are going  to Wembley on Sunday after a pretty horrific 18 months and maybe that makes us appreciate where we are a bit more.”

"I wish Notts County and their fans all the luck in the world, but not on Sunday... It's a strange one. Football throws up these little scenarios. Me playing against an old club is not something that unusual, I've been at that many! But Notts County, I spent four years down there, it was my last club."

Notts County possible starting lineup:
Slocombe; Turner, Lacey, Brindley, Bagan, O'Brien, Doyle, Rose, Dennis, Wootton, Roberts

While Martin impressed on his debut in the semi-finals, Stead finds himself in contention due to his big-game experience.

Barring any late fitness issues, the rest of the starting lineup is expected to remain the same, with Jack Muldoon starting.

That will leave Wes Thomas and Enzio Boldewijn on the bench, with Kristian Dennis starting.

Kyle Wootten (18), Kristian Dennis (16) and Wes Thomas (10) provide the attacking threat for the Pies as they look to avenge last season's relegation from the Football League.

In the league, Harrogate and Notts County finished second and third, respectively. Trailing champions, Barrow by four points.

Harrogate were unbeaten in their final seven games of the regular season, whilst Notts County have won their last six games. 

A year ago, at the start of the season, Notts County won 2-0 away at Harrogate Town, following goals in each half from Kristian Dennis and Enzio Boldewijn.
