That's nothing, try 1976/77. I've witnessed some real shite. I'm fully aware that this could now turn into the Four Yorkshireman sketch from Monty Python. Anyone under the age of 40 will just have to look it up on that YouTube.
my first game was 77.
81 broke my heart (fucking ricky villa)
loved the 80's and 90's even though were usually shit
i was not at york away but did most other aways that season
family and work has limited me to mostly home games this century but its still lots of travel as home games are now a 400 mile round trip. only health or pricing would make me give up my season ticket
as big steve says on the video, I wouldnt change my football fan journey with anyone
the friends i have made, the memories i have are beyond measure.
The games with my grandad, my mum and dad, my sisters and my daughters some of my best memories, not of football but of life.
all the above was true in 2006 when I thought I would never see us lift a trophy and is still true today.
Football history is not measured in trophies, its measured in the collective memories of its fans. Those that are in the here and now, those that came before and those that are yet to come.
All clubs have a rich history because all clubs are loved by their fans.
The red shirted history clubs seem to have forgotten this. I hope we never do.
