samo II Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Just been listening myself, as live in York and have a number of YCFC supporting friends/colleagues; gutted for them. I've little doubt it'll ruin the club; they have zero money and they'll be playing at a local level so will cost a fortune to maintain what was a decent stadium in League Two, let alone the National League. Makes me grateful we've avoided the drop, and is a lesson in 'too big to go down'; they've are undoubtedly a big side to be in non-league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say we seemed to play them a fair bit back then, Denis Smith was their manager for a fair while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved that night, midweek game under the lights, top of the table clash, 1983, 4th div, 11k crowd, East End was a cauldron....great memories....York were flying back then with players who went onto great things...

BobBobSuperBob Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Think we beat them ? 4-1 in our 75/76 promotion season and made a rare appearance on MoD with Tom Ritchie getting a couple , maybe a hat trick ? Remember hanging off the top of the fence when Ralph Milne floated in that late winner up there Back to back relegations - awful for their supporters - let's hope they can at least get back to Vanarama next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CotswoldRed Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Not nice seeing the faces of 70 and 80-something fans who may never see their team in the league again. Desperate times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kodes Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 I well remember that fixture at York when Rolph Milne scored a beauty in the 89th minute to seal our place in the play offs that year. Probably the worst player on the pitch that day scored goal of the season! Happy memories of a car-load of friends barreling down the motorway in my old Vauxhall Chevette. My commiserations to the York faithful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayteomike2 Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Can remember playing the y fronts in the 70's they had a y on the front of their shirts a very sad demise - also saw them play Millwall on a train trip to York on a Sunday school outing when we got off the train the coppers thought we were Millwall fans vicar wasn't impressed we were a rough lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finbarr_in_z Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 A great away trip as well (a minor point mind). I'm of an age where you see some clubs as league clubs and some as non-league. York are a league club to me..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nogbad the Bad Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 The 'football special' train up to York in '83/84 was a great day. Iirc correctly Tom Ritchie also scored the winner that day after returning to City to help us out of the 4th division. As an aside, Tom and Chris Garland are the only players to have represented City in all 4 divisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, it was 1-1 in 83/84. The train trip may have been the next season, after both clubs had been promoted, and we won 2-0.

Don't think he played for us at the second level Glyn, after a top flight debut at Boro' there was a very long gap before getting back in the side when we dropped through to the old Third Division?

It'll remain a mystery but it doesn't really matter which game it was - it was a fantastic train trip, and a great goal from Tom whichever game it was!

RedRock Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Remember the York Nomads or similar at AG and away.

I've just looked him up on Wiki, glyn, and looks like you're right. Stevens made a single 1st Div. appearance, deputising for Sweeney, then appeared in all the lower divisions, including being ever present in the the side that was relegated to the basement. So I stand corrected - and so should Tom's wiki page - Tom Ritchie, Chris Garland and Paul Stevens have played for CIty in all 4 divisions.

Always had a soft spot for Stevens, probably because he was the one kid from that 80's group who saw the full horror of our fall from grace. Would love to see some of those lads invited back to Ashton Gate one day, the likes of Stevens, Musker, Economou, Bray, Newman and Llewellyn ( if he's out!!) anyone under 40 won't have a clue what we're on about!!
