Re: National League attendances over the last few years

Winning does help, but it's not very encouraging for Barnet that their average attendance only increased by 18% in a season in which they were brilliant. I was talking to a York fan this week; his oldest son is 11 and they are fairweather attendees. He finds their new ground soulless compared to Boo...

Re: Who would you keep?

I’m interested to know why so many people don’t seem to like Olly Scott? He was superb before getting injured. I’d keep him.

Re: Constructive ideas for Ground Development

I joined in the thread to make the point that, almost certainly, the people who post on here aren't the right demographic to ask. Like everyone on here, I love our ground's location and historic feel. I went to York yesterday and came away thinking that I would hate the Shots to move out of town as ...
