Farewell (Again) to Bootham Crescent

Back in February I wrote about the final matches scheduled to be played at Bootham Crescent, the historic home of York City FC, before a move to the club's new community stadium.

Of course things didn't quite pan out as expected but the knock-on effect of some further delays with the new stadium has been a further few months at Bootham Crescent and, while York was under Tier 2 restrictions, a brief window for fans to watch one more game in person.

A move to Tier 3 means this Saturday's game against Bradford Park Avenue will now be behind closed doors so, with the Monk's Cross stadium now signed off, the 627 who were lucky enough to see Monday's win against Guiseley may well be the last supporters to have watched a game at Bootham Crescent.

Saturday's game is being streamed live, however, and accessible on a 'pay what you want' basis.

The Bradford game fell foul of the weather but this coming Tuesday (12th Jan) at 7pm is scheduled to be the last game at Bootham, with the visit of AFC Fylde, and again the game will be screened live on a 'pay what you can' basis.
