William Webb Ellis Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Double whammy, miss the game of the season and my car blows up! Fantastic result (the Knights that is, not the car). Keep performing like that and the sky's the limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not seen the official figure but would estimate around 2,350. The main stand was nearly full ( a few single seats were spare) and it holds just shy of 2,000. Reckon on about 500 in the David Longhurst. Beer and York Knights. Proof the God loves us and wants us to be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Ashton Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Brilliant result for York and we beat Haven and are second in the league.We meet you at Craven Park on 20th August and I cannot go. We've beaten you twice this season but it'll be very tough for us this time. We still have to go Canada for a second time this season. All the best for the super 8s and playoffs and promotion bu we are hopeful as well. We old established clubs want to get out of Ch1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Security personnel are been d1ckheads ? Yeah what was that all about??? Terrific crowd, brilliant match but terrible pr to cut the two stands off from each other for no apparent reason.

paul Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Awesome today, apart from the 5 minutes after half time, great crowd hope the York public will be there in 2 weeks time. Listened to radio Leeds on way home in the car and Keighley coach was suggesting that Toronto did not send there strongest team over for the game.

I can only think of Fleming, Burroughs, Dixon and Ngwati who didn't make the seventeen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lingard ,should have been a politician always got an excuse, well i know we will be sending the strongest team we can when we play them next Sunday and Fordy will have the lads fired up for that game as well come on ye Kneets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BD20Cougar Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Regarding Craig Lingards comments, what he actually said was that the wolf pack have fielded weakened teams in their last few games but were back to full strength this weekend. The implication being that some players would be a bit rusty with it being their first game for a while. He also said take nothing away from York because like the rest of us, he knows it's an unbelievable result. Hope to see plenty of you at Cougar Park on Sunday, if we play like we did in the second half of our last meeting it should be a cracker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Hall Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 We also had players left out, players who have played at the top end of the Championship in Tommy Saxton, Andy Ellis & Pat Smith. Jordan Cox who played 18 times for Warrington last year didn't play either. Added to players like Harry Carter & Ed Smith you could say we weren't even at full strength. We also didn't use one of our subs so you could say we're only going to get better. 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...

AB Knight Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Not sure the exact reason why the 2 stands were seperated from each other, but I imagine a big issue was if the main stand was full (and if the turnstile clickers showed that) and those turnstiles were shut, if you had free movement between the 2 stands, people could enter at the Longhurst turnstiles then attempt to go to the main stand which would be a big safety concern. Either way it will have been the safety officers decision and not York City Knights. Otherwise I thought it ran fairly well off the pitch, there was a huge number of prebooked tickets but things went well with those, and a lot of previous seasons shirts were flying off the hangers as they were reduced to a fiver each. A pity programmes sold out about half an hour before the match though. Good to see so many other club shirts there - Bradford, Leeds, both Hull clubs, Cas.

AB Knight Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 One final thing, I spoke to about 20 Canadians in the club shop, most of whom said they live over here now and I saw maybe 150 fans in total wearing Toronto gear? It makes me think if they progress and keep on with their marketing and eventually reach Super League, they will have a bigger away support than a few traditional clubs.

I said in another thread that Toronto bring people to their games over here that otherwise wouldn't be there. Be they UK based Wolfpack fans or lapsed/new fans of the opposition who want to see what the fuss is about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
