Anyone going to a game today.

I am off to watch York City v Guiseley in National League North.

An opportunity to say goodbye to Bootham Crescent as this is their last season at the old place.
It’s a ground that holds many memories for me as when i lived in Leeds and went to Elland Rd week in week out ( I can hear the howls of derision )  From 1971 to 1974 aged 16 to 19 i used to go to Bootham Crescent regularly when Leeds we’re away from home.
 
The two seasons they spent in the 2nd tier were very special.
The FA cup game in the middle of the power strike against Man City in 1974 lives long in the memory as do many other games, including those epic games with us in the early 80’s against Billy Bremner’s Rovers.

It is also only one of 2 football league grounds i have played on in 1973 the other being Valley Parade Bradford City. Both were for York City’s Northern Intermediate side as a Goal keeper.

Good to see they are flying high this season under the stewardship of no less than legend Dave Penney ( Director of Football )
Hopefully better times lie ahead for them in the next few years.

Off to see Retford FC vs Rossington Maine I think

Wish i hadn’t bothered.
Awful.

York did not make the Guiseley keeper make 1 save in the entire match other than the goal they scored.
Guiseley the same other than the 2 goals they scored.

York’s tactics bizarre with 3 centre backs. Did not work. Heard that one somewhere before i think.
Then with 15 mins to go took the only player capable of creating or possibly scoring was subbed.
3.100 gate with 215 from Guiseley they said it was 216 but i was neutral in the Away end. So I don’t count.

Oh well not the best in my last visit to Bootham Crescent.

Think i will see better at the Moat tomorrow.

Don’t bother. 

Hope it’s better than what i witnessed today.
What a stupid thing to say. It can’t be anything but better.

the ground seemed a hell of a long way to walk to when you are a young lad younger than ten  - i have not forgotten that long walk.

Good game at Retford. Retford FC 3-2 Rossington Main. Both teams attacking throughout on a pitch which has been absolutely battered by the weather for nearly 8 weeks.

Belter of a winner for Retford with 5-6 minutes left.

Went to Boston v Kettering

[Spilsby Red]

2-1 to Boston. A very slow 30 mins. A lot of hoof ball. But then opened up. Second half hit and miss. Ref was atrocious to

[drfchound]

We should see that ref on the L1 list soon then.
