Yep, dunno what's controversial or hilarious about this. Not like we'll be taking attendance hits every other week with the NT out of commish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not quite as bad as I feared. By mothballed I thought we would end up with half a stand or some such. If it's just internal fit out I can live with that. That can be done later on. Were they not moving the offices over there as well? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No_Problemo Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Let’s hope there’s some good news at some point then… Best player left, no new signings and the grand plan has been drawn back! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanayr1987 Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 So there’s no excuse to not have that built by Xmas. Second half of the season reopen the NT if there’s no seating being put in 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No_Problemo Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 I do think this kind of stuff should be announced for everyone and not just for those with season tickets, especially with it not being recorded tbh. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Venom Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Timmins was essentially his assistant so that's not particularly great chat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorky Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 2 hours ago, WATTOO said: The difference is that clubs in League 1 and 2 in Scotland aren't signing players for £250k and paying £5k per week, unlike some of their English counterparts, they're mostly part time and mostly living within their means. Dunfermline and Falkirk on the other hand were both pulling in crowds of 4,000 and 5,000 while in League 1 so that doesn't really fit with the narrative of the Scottish Championship being well below the National League in England in terms of infrastructure / support etc as we can all cherry pick. In terms of spending power but you're right, there's very few teams in the Scottish Championship can compete with L2 in England as ultimately there's more money in England via sponsorship, TV money and general marketing of their leagues so it's no surprise that they can spend bigger, however some of them are spending WAY above their means and that's the point I was making about that happening here in the past and it not ending well for many. "Incredibly, the average attendance for York City this season is 3,116, almost 1,000 clear of second place". In days gone by clubs were bailed out, however I'm not so sure there will be the same appetite in the future, given the state of the wider economy and attitude of the general public..... Yorks average attendance last season was just over 5000. If challenging at the top I would expect that to rise to around 7000. The owners are aiming for the championship which is doable given the size of the city these days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway yes, it is his money, and the Hub worked out alright, and nobody expected to be on the NT for another year anyway. But this is undeniably a banter years bullet point, especially if it ends up looking basically like a more tinpot version of the old box in the interim. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

York also has three times the population of Ayr and as a historical rugby town has the capacity for huge local support growth. Wattoo is an imbecile. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
