Here are two articles I have created which shall be uploaded to the website.

Cook joins Town

Joining the club on a permanent basis from Blue Square Bet Premier club Gateshead is 22 year old Mark Cook. Mark was at Hartlepool United last season, and prior to that came up through the ranks at Newcastle United. Gateshead manager Ian Bogie commented saying: "We do not need to run with three goalkeepers but I thank him for his efforts during his time at Gateshead and wish him well at Harrogate."

In news also relating to Harrogate Town, the team will now travel to Hyde on Saturday 6 November for a fixture (KO 3pm). Both clubs were without a fixture on this date as result of their originally scheduled opponents still being involved in the FA Cup. Having exhausted other options to re-arrange a game for Saturday 6 November, Harrogate Town has agreed with Hyde to bring forward the match that was due to be played in March. The change leaves Harrogate Town with only two games in March, but leaves free dates for re-arrangements should there be weather postponements in the upcoming winter season.
A new date for the home match against Corby Town has not been confirmed as of yet.

Harrogate nightclub closes its doors

One of Harrogate's top nightspots has unexpectedly ceased trading. The Blue Monkey nightclub on Station Parade – formerly Carringtons – shut its doors last weekend, cancelling its entire catalogue of events for the autumn and winter.
A spokesman said the reason the club had closed was because it was "not cost-effective at the moment" to continue, but said that the owner hopes to re-open when conditions are more favourable.

Organiser Dorothy Barichard said: "I'd arranged one night with the manager, who kindly agreed to provide the venue free of charge. I didn't hear anything for a while, so I called to make sure everything was OK. I was told he'd left and that they weren't aware they were hosting our event.
"They said the club was closing because they couldn't pay the bills. I didn't get the impression they were opening again; it sounded like that was the end of it."
The property was previously owned by Carringtons, which had been a fixture of the Harrogate night-scene since 1975. The Blue Monkey launched in March to provide a fresh take but has ultimately been unsuccessful.
