Happy York Away Day

[ray21]

That game ruined my Birthday, I can recall going to the cash machine at Barclays on Moston lane then York City scored as I got back in the car. Tonight’s score as made today a good birthday.

I was not behind the goal but in the away seating area. Remember the game like it was yesterday. Also remember Kevin Kennedy sat a few rows behind us. Not seen him at a City game since!

I was in the away seats, no segregation but no problems, I was sat in the seat next to the home fans so if anyone thinks they had a bad day, mine was undoubtedly worse

 

[york away to this!]

25 years?
That cannot be, as I am still only in my 20s...

He knew when to walk away and when to run!
Great story though

Yeah, but did he know when to hold ‘em and when to fold ‘em???

Our lowest ever league position was after this defeat at York, wasn’t t?

We were 12th after the York defeat. After 4 games we were 14th. Obviously because it was so early in the season, it’s not going to stick in the mind so much. But I think the period between the 4th and 5th games was officially the lowest ever position.

Eventful day. In a bar in York before the game when Leeds came in chucking bottles and chairs

After the game we were so pissed a few of us decided to try and steal a rowing boat and row home up the river. Only stopped by friendly York fans dragging us back to the bank

In the dog house too as I was out on a family birthday night out but I was still in York at 9pm

FTFY. Those cockney scamps get everywhere.

I always looked at Fulham away as a really low point. Thought we were going to piss the league after beating Blackpool on opening day but massively brought back down to earth after that one. We got hammered!

Was that the Friday night game?

We were 12th after the York defeat. After 4 games we were 14th. Obviously because it was so early in the season, it’s not going to stick in the mind so much. But I think the period between the 4th and 5th games was officially the lowest ever position.

The lowest point, for me anyway, came when the Gillingham second goal went in at Wembley. That signified at least another season in division 3, with the possibility we might never get out. Enter Messers Horlock and Dickov and the rest, as they say, is another slice of our fabulous history.
What a club we’ve got.

Happy birthday mate. It’s mine too. Great birthday piss up in York with mates 25 years ago… as often happened back then, city did their best to ruin it but didn’t manage to
