the old nine ole Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Where theres a will .... theres a way!!!! clearly within the York hierarchy there is no will!!! This has happened to clubs before and they have returned leaner and stronger, lets hope York can rid themselves of the shackles or people that have created this shambles and rise again under stewardship of people who truly care about the game in York!!

topladtownie Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Not been keeping up to date with Knights proceedings for a while, so was a surprise to see the news. Reading that Club Statement, really does come across as the owner spitting the dummy out because he couldn't get his own way. Despite the shock of it all, in long term you are better off without him, sure with the passion that is there you can hopefully come back stronger and actually work with the Council & the Football Club rather than fight against them. Good luck for future hopefully you will be back in a new form for start of next season if nothing can be sorted before that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donald Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Because we are from York not Harrogate. Just a suggestion pal to keep you going Oldham and Swinton don't play in their own towns but they're doing OK this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nearenough Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Thè knights contract with york council says there must be "24 HOURS" between football and rugby fixtures so if ycfc are playing saturday 3pm knights cant play on the night before...but they can play 3pm sunday which is what they intended to do. The council claimed there had to be "A DAY" between fixtures. The council have not got a leg to stand on in this. They are plain wrong and hopefully their lawyers are telling them as such! If the knights owner does have the will there are lots of ways... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blind side johnny Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Ditto. All the best from a Swinton fan. ....and from a Dewsbury fan. Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Loxton Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 It's a shame that the Fev offer couldn't materialise to give you a bit more time. Good luck I think you will be back stronger. I really hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Baron Mk11 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 ....and from a Dewsbury fan. Keep the faith, why not start now by exploring if a fan owned club is feasible like Hornets. Hope something happens for you guys, all the best. QUIS CUSTODIAT IPSOS CUSTODES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saddleworth Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Disgusting state of affairs. Such clubs are the cornerstone of our game and deserve better than this. The coach, players and loyal staff treated with contempt and disrespect. Why hasn't someone with an ounce of guts, put their head above the parapet and explain in full and frank detail what has lead to this situation, or is that to much to expect in this day and age?.

Blue Monkey Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Just a suggestion pal to keep you going Oldham and Swinton don't play in their own towns but they're doing OK this season Dead right and we, Swinton (Station Road), haven't since 1992, Oldham (Watersheddings) since 1997.

ivans82 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 know how the york fans feel , we at workington have a struggle on our hands at the moment to keep the ship afloat . clubs like york must not be allowed to die . remember wiggington road with great affection , good crowds and good atmosphere .new ground was o.k. too , but is it a bit too far from the city for traditional fans to travel to ? (don t know how good local transport is ) . anyway best of luck for the future , hope you turn things around . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George 1 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Shame non league footy takes priority over potential championship rugby up the knights wasps York forever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toby The Tram Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Shame non league footy takes priority over potential championship rugby up the knights wasps York forever The non league football will attract attendances of around 3000. The current League 1 rugby attracts attendances of around 400. That is why non league football takes priority.

George 1 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I think 3000 is a tad optimistic knights actually average 600 but as a championship club large attendances would follow long live the knights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick the Miller Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I think 3000 is a tad optimistic knights actually average 600 but as a championship club large attendances would follow long live the knights Especially with a new set up too.

trig Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Have been watching and listening to supporters and those higher up for a while now, I only have one though about this hole affair, Spoilt little man that can not get what he wants so has chucked his teddy out of his pram , If I carnt get what I want so I will close the door, Good riddence in my opinion bring on the future and let the players finish this season like we started.

moorside roughyed Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Chairman spits dummy out.(Good headline). Hope that any efforts to resurrect the club are successful and someone with a bit of financial oomph can come forward. We really need someone to save the Knights,keep rugby league in York.

That is why non league football takes priority. Yes, funny old world. There must be a lot of masochists around if recent performances and league positions are anything to go by. Oh, by the way, I think you need to brush up on your maths. You're about a third out with your 400. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
