BARROW

[David]

We were outfought, outthought and outkicked in today's very hard encounter. The number of stoppages for injuries bears this out as does the apparent tiredness of York even before half time. The way the results have gone this weekend means we will have to work a miracle to gain promotion. A win at Rochdale next week is crucial.

Should never have got rid of Thornton

Don't agree fordy will do us right

I think with the right tools at his disposal, James Ford would get the team out of this division and be top 4 championship within 4 years.

 

As it is it's amazing he's managed to keep a competitive team together throughout the last 2 seasons. Wayne Bennett would have struggled to do more.

With gates of circa 600 the long term chances of getting promoted and staying there are slim.

That game yesterday deserved a crowd of 6000 not 600.

Hopefully with a new regime in place crowds will increase.

Realistically and from a historical point of view what gate would it be reasonable to attract week in week out? Would it be enough to sustain a push?

Done properly, there's no reason a professional club in York couldn't be getting at least 1500 crowds. If we we're top 6 championship I reckon we'd be looking at 2000 averages. 

 

As it stands we've got 600 and about 4 sponsors. Embarrassing really for a city like York,  but I can't blame people for not going, I don't even go myself anymore!
