Happy York Away Day

[Prestwich_Blue]

25 years ago today, 250k Blues descended on Bootham Crescent to see us get beat by York, generally regarded as the lowest point in our history.

How beautifully ironic that 25 years later, we're representing Europe in the World Club Championship.

Only City could do this

Whilst it was the lowest point to which we have ever dropped in the football pyramid, it didn't feel like the lowest feeling ever at the time. This is because we had games in hand and were still unsure about how far we could ultimately drop. The lowest point psychologically, for me, was relegation at Stoke some seven months earlier.

Nevertheless, happy York away day. Big kudos to all those Blues who stuck by the team in dark times whilst our neighbours rubbed our noses in it. We never gave up.

Being there and also the season before getting twatted 3-1 at Stockport always will remain thankfully right at the back of my mind these days, but still in there I'm afraid.

Amazing 25 years on and the situation now, but like I say only City could do this to a person, never in doubt of keeping the faith

The York Express to World Champions (fingers crossed) would be a great title for the film.

Away at Darlington in the FA cup felt like the low point. York away was just another bad over a few bad months in that division.
As this month progressed 25 years ago it started to get better.

Looking forward to renewing hostilities and getting our own back on York.

We thought they'd never end...."

I mentioned to a couple of mates the legendary status that York away holds on these pages and was surprised to hear them say "well you should know - you were there with us!"
I had somehow forgotten, but now feel privileged to have been part of that happy band, or, errm, large scale evacuation from Manchester...

You could get your wish, fucking hope not like, but who knows
