paul Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Hope Mr Guilford is paying the transport costs to the game and refunding season tickets to those who can't get to the game.Any chance Andy from radio York getting a reason from Mr Guilford why he is still at the club and his so called directors have not come to agreement with YCC over the new Stadium?

ladyknight1967 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 On club website, Knights are running free buses for all season ticket holders. This is getting beyond a joke now and I do appreciate it is going to be difficult for people to get there and I know others are refusing to go because of this mess. BUT how I look at it is none of this is the players fault and they deserve our support so I hope as many people will try and go for their sakes if nothing else.

paul Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Can see what Lady knight is saying about not been the players fault,but we should not be giving up home advantage to any team and the blame lies at Mr Guilford door. He has had 3weeks since our last home game to negotiate a deal with YCC to get us playing in the City of York,but no he would rather send us to fevtherstone to play in a empty stadium on a Friday night.Also what about the supporters who are not season ticket holders, do there not coun't as been apart of the club?.What a shambles.

He's not just had 3 weeks Paul, the new directors came on board in January to try to sort this. Still no further on than we were then, there'll be more lies peddled over the course of June when we're having to play 3 home games away as well. http://www.alldesignandprint.co.uk Printing & Graphic Design with Nationwide Service Programmes | Leaflets | Cards | Banners & Flags | Letterheads | Tickets | Magazines | Folders | Brand Identity plus much more Official Matchday Programme Print & Design Partner to York City Knights, Heworth ARLFC, York Acorn RLFC & Hunslet RLFC Official Player Sponsor of Marcus Stock for the 2020 Season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairly certain that 'He' is not involved in any talks (would actually be a bit difficult..) and fairly certain the council elections have caused some delays, but 3 people are talking and while they keep trying to get a solution they will get my full support (and the support of others who nowadays dare not come on here for fear of been slated) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEANO Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 Forgive me if I'm wrong but wasn't the transitional period offering free training facilities which we are now paying for , free use of bc which we are now paying for, a % of bar takings of which we now get nowt as well as coaches being laid on at considerable expense. The man must have deep pockets.

Any season ticket holder prepared to part with their money and not kick up a fuss is part of the problem. As I said Simon, it is only my view, we are all entitled to our own opinions which I though we could express on here, obviously not unless they are the same as yours. As Shades said, a lot of people no longer come on here because of the aggressive nature of posts. I won't be posting again but will continue to support the player & coaching staff.

Speaks99 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 A few home truths: the pitch at Bootham Crescent has just been reseeded so no way will it be ready for the Knights at all this season, even if they sign up with the council tomorrow. That means games in Fev for the rest of the season (other West Yorkshire venues are available) The director who walked away has stated that Guildford is still approving (or not as the case may be) any offer from the council. The council have stated that they will not work with Guildford. The Knights board have been in negotiations since January. Why should anything change now? If a deal was there to be done, it would be done long before the first ball was kicked this season. Guildford has constantly been lying to the fans. Can there be anything more disrespectful than that? The latest one is that the safety certificate at Bootham crescent is holding up playing there. Then there was the Q&A which hastily got removed when the council refuted almost the entire thing. Guildford will run the club into the ground, then use it as a stick to beat the council whilst saying none of it was his fault. He had the chance to pass the club on to someone with a bit more integrity, but chose not to entertain the idea. Enjoy the Season, it's probably going to be our last.

I reckon the Knights have 9 home games to play after this Friday night (includes one to re-arrange). If you look back to 2014 York City FC's 1st friendly game at BC was played 12th July. Now assuming that City will roughly want to start at the same time again next season, that would mean the pitch would need be ready at roughly the same time as 2014 and therefore would be ready for the Knights to play their last 6 home games. It would not be ready for Rochdale, Skolars and Swinton home only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Shades Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I too am keeping the faith. I believe the 3 directors are doing their best to sort this despite obsticles being put in their way. I guess you cannot blame the football club re-seeding their pitch, but what would have happened if we had signed the deal and been allowed to play at BC, what will happen at the new stadium which is to be used 365 days year how can that be maintained? I think someone is playing games and its NOT JG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think someone is playing games and its NOT JG They manage at Doncaster & Wigan to name just 2 grounds that host both RL & Football. Amazing what they can do with modern pitch technologies (that they don't currently have at Bootham Crescent). It's not just a field anymore you know, all sorts of interwoven fibres in the grass and allsorts. Had the Knights signed a deal to play at Bootham Crescent the pitch work would have either been done around our fixtures or home games would have been switched to the away venue and visa versa.

paul Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Would it possible for from the supports club to organise a public meeting for those supporters who are not in the know and try to explain what the situation is at the moment regarding the future of the Knights and is anything we could do to keep the Knights going and playing back in the City of York.
