The Virtual Terrace • York
I've attended most of York's home and away matches this season. Its been great seeing everything click into place, especially when at the start of 2017 it didn't look like they'd be in the fixture list plus its just over a year ago that they lost at Oxford!
I think Super League is some way off. Now is the time to consolidate themselves as a solid Championship club - something along the lines of a Batley or Featherstone. Then let's think about SL.
Crowds are slowly increasing, I've included a few stats below, but still a lot of work to be done to tap into other potential audiences - disgruntled York City FC fans, those who currently go down the A64 to Headingley or Wheldon Road, plus there's tourists, a big student population and the racecourse crowd. The new stadium will be a huge help. Bootham Crescent makes Wheldon Road seem like paradise!
