York were for most of this season dead certs to go down, rooted to the bottom. Now they are producing promotion form, win against Bromley on Tuesday will take them out of the bottom 4. I for one hope they do it.
-
Me too Les
-
It's good to see Yorkshire sides in the National Prem, sadly North Ferriby look doomed. Guisley should be safe and hopefully York stay up to. Hopefully they will be joined season by Halifax via play-offs.
-
I'm going to go and support York on Tuesday night. Really hoping they can stay up in this league and push on next season.
-
Hear hear! Well done ROTU and good luck YCFC. I really hope they do it.
One of the best Rovers away wins I ever saw came at Bootham Crescent. Stevie Lister scored a blinder in a 3-0 win.

York won today and now out of the bottom 4. Well done!
-
I think next game is Solihull Moors just above them in table and fresh from a proper thumping
-
Last I looked york were sitting 4th bottom and still in the dead leg zone even after the win at Chester city yesterday.
But they are putting up 'one dam hell of a fight ' ( John Wayne style)
during process of staying up.
Upyork as that 1970s badge went.
-
My mistake york are two slots up from the drop zone via goal difference .
Onwards and upwards for them then I hope.
-
Im told they played really well yesterday. Hope Tuesday was just a blip. They took 500 fans to Chester which is fantastic support.
Hope they can pull off the great escape.
-
Christ Chester city ,just look at what directions both are clubs have taken since the play off games back in the conference league.
Rovers > league football > championship football > jpt final > promotions > relegations > new ground >
Chester city > relegation > non league conference tour > no promotions > same ground or have they reformed? >
-
They went bust and reformed. They're now just Chester FC.
-
The Chester ground was like a prison camp.was very grim.took ages to get out of the ground.
-
Recall going there in a mini bus from scarcens pub for a facup game sometime in mid 1980s and we was in the coner of a side stand.
Rovers got beat which was the norm.
Then the play off game and we was all behind the goal rammed in.
Sure that game was pay on the gate.
-
It's now in York's own hands. They have games against Sollihull Moors, Woking, Wrexham, and finish with FGR.
-
Some interesting fixtures for all the teams around them. I think the York v Woking will be critical.
Come on York City. You can do this!
-
The next two are critical, both opponents in or around the relegation zone.
-
As Solihull Moors are my local team I am getting very nervous about them. A few weeks ago they won 4-1 at North Ferriby. Since then five losses on the spin culminating in Saturday's disaster at Tranmere. It all has awful echoes of Rovers in 2013-14 and is a similar situation - one win will probably ensure safety.
I'd like to think both the Moors and York will stay up.
-
Another win for York, up next Woking.
-
They've got Wrexham at home on Monday. Struggling today with injuries so hope they all recover very quickly!
Come on York hope you can avoid relegation.
-
Nearly mid table
-
Only on goal diff tho. It's so tight! My York season ticket friends feel sick before every match they are so nervous! Awful feeling.
-
York are in promotion form, can't see them bottling it now. They'll stay up. Torquay could be on their way down.
-
amazing finish to the season - three games left and any two from twelve can still go down (on the basis that North Ferriby aren't going to score ten a game, which would make it three from thirteen) - hoping that it's woking and chester, purely on the basis of mark wright and daryl clare for the latter...
-
Really nervous about Solihull Moors now. Apparently they battered York second half but couldn't score. Need to get something on Monday or I think it's curtains for them.
-
York play Wrexham on Monday who are mid-table and nothing to play for, could be another 3 points for York.
-
Really hope so. Although one if their key centre halves is on loan from Wrexham and can't play in that fixture. Shame when Wrexham have nothing hinging on the game.
Then they play Woking which really is a 6 pointer!
-
Since the start of February York have played 13 league games, won 6, drawn 4 and lost 3. They've also played 4 FA Trophy games in that time, winning 3 of them (including beating Lincoln) and drawing 1. They've reached Wembley - to play Macclesfield 3 weeks into May.
That's not bad form.

-
If York do stay up. I can see them challenging for promotion next season.
-
Hope so on both counts Les. Their fans have endured a torrid time and deserve something positive. I think most would settle right now for safety and news that the long overdue new ground is started.
-
Despite losing today they are still outside of the relegation zone on GD. Next match against Woking is a six pointer.
-
York are relegated. Couldn't quite pull it off.

injury time equaliser at guiseley sent 'em down.....
-
Great memories of going to York in the early 80's. They won the league by a mile that year but on that day we played them off the park. Massive Rovers following and a cracker from Glynn Snodin only for Dennis Peacock to gift them an equaliser. Sad day seeing them relegated today. Would be good to see them and more ex Rovers opponents from yesteryear like Halifax, Darlington and Stockport regaining league status. Lincoln have done it and you'd have to fancy Tranmere in the play offs. They're up against Aldershot, a team who were top of the league when they came to Belle Vue on a Friday night in the late 60's resulting in a 7 - 0 win for Rovers, one of my all time favourite memories. A repeat today would be good.
Come on you Reds, let's sort out this title!

It was probably not just the equaliser that sent them down, being shit for a whole season probably had more to do with it

Not quite Gloucester. Since Xmas when Gary Mills was able to bring in his own players they have been 9th in the form table. Too much damage done under the previous manager. Desperately sorry for them today.

Form table means little when you're 4th bottom and getting relegated

For all peoples thoughts on Yorks relegation it is still sad to see another Yorkshire club exit the football league.
-
They'd already exited the Football League last season...
-
Sad day for York, they nearly pulled it off, but not quite. Hope they bounce back next season. Now have local derbies with Harrogate.

No but I was trying to counter your statement that they had been rubbish all season. They haven't!
-
Forgot to mention York will have a local derby with Bradford PA next season.

Unfortunately the season doesn't start in Jan and you have to take all the season into account and on that basis they haven't been good enough. Being 9 in the form table since Christmas also means they still haven't been good enough since Christmas and 8 teams have been better than them. So all in all not good enough for the whole season.

I appreciate that Gloucester but I still maintain that although they were absolutely rubbish for the first half of the season once their new manager came in and was able to bring a few players in their form was very good. Ninth in form table says something about a team that's been relegated. You said "they had been shit all season" all I'm trying to point out is they haven't! Certainly not good enough over the WHOLE season though.
That's my last word on this.

And my last word, they were shit for the whole season

They had Muggleton on loan and left him on the bench mostly, but when he came on with his long throws then Parkin scored. I think yesterday the manager realised and played him from the start. TOOO Late a bit like another certain manager
-
they have Scott loach in goal as well said time for York going down
