Yes, cracking effort all round, I've never seen the 3rd stand open before! Here's the article: https://yorkcityknights.com/club/knight ... -crescent/ According to wikipedia, the record crowd for York City Knights is 3,509 in a friendly against Leeds Rhinos at Bootham Crescent, here's hoping we can beat that.

I'm surprised Butterworth isn't in the squad, he's a better hooker than both Hallas and Halafihi imo.

Interesting on "3 bulls in a bar" video, Chissy mentioned Moss playing for York on Sunday...

If he is, he's being added after the squad announcement. They have only named 17 players though.

You can pay on the gate tomorrow, just to be clear!

Kieron Moss has signed on a months loan for York

Good result against one of better teams we’ll come up against. Showed some composure to grind out win and not panic at end. Didn’t think Keyes had boot on him for last penalty but he made it look easy.

Re: York Away : Sun Feb 18, 2018 5:57 pm  

It was okay. York showed spirit, and were unlucky to lose, whereas (despite 5 pre-season friendlies) we looked cathartic and unimaginative. Still, it's better to grind it out and win on the last kick off the game than to play well and lose.
And those pubs in York are ace.

Well we've played our get out of jail already. To be fair i think this will be one of the toughest games we'll play all year. I thought the best team lost IMO. Probably didn't deserve to win. But hey, how many times have we been on the receiving end of those last minute defeats. We'll be better for it after today with our best player still to return. We''ve won away from home against a promotion rival so we should be happy.

I just want to give a special mention to York. I genuinely can't praise them enough for what they have done for this game. The marketing has been superb. Yes we took a big following, but it wasn't 4k Bulls fans there, they were plenty from other SL clubs, and i even talked to a few York City FC fans who were at their first RL game. I'm sure they'll be back depsite the result. Everything was well organised too when we got to the ground. I almost felt bad we nicked it so cruelly from them at the end i had such a good day! I wish them all the luck for the rest of the year.

Great result against what will be one of our main rivals for promotion. Watched it online on the way to work and linked it to the van speakers. Was almost like being there haha! Fantastic support and I was gutted I missed it

Didn’t think we played too bad. Need to show more going forward as we do look clueless at times. Thought Keyes was good today. Line speed for me is an issue. Hate it when the opposition gain easy yards from poor defensive line speed. However a win is a win and it was nail biting and intense! A champion team wins close games even if playing poor.
