York City

[barriethomas]

Play Off game tonight I think, sold shed loads of tickets, new ground. Hope they get promotion. UTWI

[Northumbiron]

So do I. Closer to me than Halifax!

[Awaywego]

Not for me, rather have Chorley, ground nearly 4 miles from the train station, Chorley’s half a mile. Nearest pub I can find is 1.9 miles away.

[MK Iron]

Not sure I follow your logic Awaywego.

Train journey to Chorley and back in excess of 6 hours. York and back about 2.5 hours. Chorley ticket about twice the price.

Use the savings to get a taxi via the pub or do you just like trains?

It’s alright getting to the ground MK in a taxi but after you’ve no chance, well York is still on the cards “taxi”.

Does your son still manage a bar in Newcastle NI?. A lot will probably make a weekend of the Gateshead game and maybe somewhere to call in at.

[Northumbiron]

Yes, middle of the notorious Bigg Market.

Although it’s being gentrified (again) at the moment.

The Schooner Inn between the stadium and the river is a good pub for a pre match bevy.

Ideally Boston promoted from the national north for me but York as a second favourite

[Awaywego]

Not sure about Brackley whether their ground is up to EFL rules, Brackley sold York allocation for Saturday in 3 minutes god knows how many you get, York for me in this one nearest station 10 miles away.

[Duzi]

Kidderminster for me!

[MK Iron]

Is it Kiddeminster that do the fabulous pies or am I mixing them up with some other team from that neck of the woods

Certainly is. And the ‘Aggborough Soup’

[MK Iron]

I Googled it earlier to make sure my memory was not playing tricks with and by sad coincidence the guy who started the pie company passed away a few days ago. It was certainly the best pie I have ever had at a football match by some margin.

[Awaywego]

Isn’t it great that so much about footy as got nothing to do with football.

Especially this season!

York city now into the play off final after another victory at Brackley this afternoon.
It’s Fylde vs Boston in the other semi final tomorrow.
A York vs Boston final would be tasty!!

[Awaywego]

Reasonably happy with any of the 3 left standing, Fylde would give another potential weekend away in Blackpool. From my perspective I’m really looking forward to the new season.

[Awaywego]

The pitch invasion last week at York cost their fans over 1000 tickets, Brackley withheld them on cost of extra police and stewarding and of course the hassle of it.

[MK Iron]

You could stay at your mates hotel Awaywego.

If he ever finishes it of course.

[mistertonmick]

The man who made the pies at Kidderminster died 18 months ago and the club ended the partnership with the caterers at the beginning of the season so they don’t have the glorious pies anymore.

I’d rather have a weekend in Mariupol than Blackpool!

I can’t stand Blackpool, every time I’ve visited it’s rained, the only time it didn’t I was arrested*! No further action though, and despite the rumours my only brush with plod. 😁

* Twentieth birthday ‘present’ for me.

We live near York and my 10 year old daughter is a York City supporter! I’ve had to buy two tickets for Saturday’s final. At least I’ll get to see first hand one of next seasons competitors.

[Awaywego]

Piss poor parenting skills there Daz how did you let her become a York fan, I managed to get one grandson to be a Scunny and man u fan, his dad is a Lincoln and Liverpool fan.

His dad has more sense, it’s bad enough following Scunny but Man U, no chance.
