Still don’t like Boston even though Evans left years ago. Rather see York back in League after National league.

Well done to York, LJL, and to John Askey. Hopefully can be challenging near the top on the National league next season too.

Congrats to York. A real city, with such a promising future. Their Rugby League Team, who share the Stadium, are doing well too.

For supposedly a great businessman Roland has missed, and continues to miss, some pretty obvious opportunities. However, buying a bit of land at full value from someone who had just been told that it could not be built on obviously wasn't one of the opportunities he missed. He's also been blind to some pretty basic things to avoid that have cost the club both good will (like demolishing the memorial garden) and money (contract boo boos). I know that the past is always better than now, and that the club isn't bankrupt; but is Roland actually selling up to the Tuffins chap to allow us to move into this century ?

What made it worse was I believe it was done in order for turnstiles/access to be given to the Wakeman End from Abbey Gardens but that never happened in the end

I think the aim is to be a recognized mid table to top half team in this league, that's our historical standing. Flirting with the playoffs now and again, building for the future, maximizing our revenue potential, aiming for 4,000 season ticket holders. I don't think any of that is far fetched, just needs minor investment and maximum innovation and effort from a forward thinking ownership and upper management team. Roland is probably happy with Brian, he's a steady pair of hands but a new owner would replace him with somebody more business savvy in a heartbeat. We're not maximizing our full financial potential from having a new ground.

That is the last century, not the friendly local merchant of the 1920s. We are no longer in a world of hobson's choice; customer is king and customer feedback points (particularly social media reviews) provide valuable data which has to drive change if you want to survive. If the customer is deemed not knowledgeable enough then the government imposes a regulator / ombudsman to step in and tell the companies how to treat the customers fairly.

I love York City. It’s the place where I first saw the Shrews and have t looked back since. They are definitely a club I would love to see back in the league.

I don't advocate government involvement, just make the point that if competition doesn't force you to treat customers fairly, then something will - that is the world we live in in main stream business. Football is an interesting study in a market that used to be very local with little competition, but that has been eroding over the past 5 decades with the rise of the internet and availability of matches and communities both on TV and online. I would suggest that if the club doesn't buck its ideas up we will have a support base that is very top heavy in terms of age groups and declines steadily over the next few years.

Fair to a point, but the club have been working hard in recent years to attract children with free admission to under 12s and Family Stand promotions. Season ticket sales generally are also holding up well.
