demise of a club- York CK : Fri Jul 22, 2016 12:06 pm  
I know its not a team that we have faced so a bit off pist.
But its really sad to see a club with a long history ceasing to exist, for the time being at least, I hope someone can come in and resurect the club and they can keep going as a semi pro outfit.

It is a sad sate of affairs when a club that has been around as long as York has to shut up shop, but it makes you wonder how many clubs are close to the same situation! They have had a pretty decent season this year as well and the crowds have not been that bad, their last home game was just short of 600 and that was against Glos so probably very few away fans! How many are we averaging?

It does seem to have settled down a bit, the constant knocking of our current owner, but this does show that without folk like Mr Hughes pumping money in keeping the game alive is difficult and in honesty thats quite probably at all levels, I wonder what will happen to Salford when Dr K walks away.

In a world where the RFL have announced an operating profit it makes you wonder should not more be done by the governing body of the sport to keep teams going?

Very sad, many trips to York to watch Hull FC over the years............

Think few, if any, Rugby League teams are in any kind strong financial position and almost all depend upon the generosity of owners. Why I have never criticised DH, we would not be around if it wasn't for him.

Read about this earlier, it is a real shame for them to fold. It seems that they had a falling out with the council and could not get things sorted out, had no home
and their income dried up.
Our next opponents, Halifax are in a similar position regarding The Shay. I believe they only have Income from gate money, TV money from RFL and sponsorship. They are going to court with the council over rent due on The Shay. Not looking too good.
In addition earlier this season a Championship team were late in paying their players. Further Workington have asked their players to take a pay cut.
Thank god for David Hughes !!!!!!

There seems to be more to this than first meets the eye. Many RL fans in the area think this could be a good thing. To further add confusion the Council and York City have issued a statement saying they are working with the RFL to try and save the club whilst two of the clubs directors have resigned and may not be happy with events in the past few days.

Hopefully RL can survive in York. Always a good away trip even if the old athletics track out of town stadium was an awful place to watch rugby.

If only they had stayed at Wigginton road
In the city, walkable from the centre, lovely little ground, ah those were the days, they even beat the kiwi touring team there.

Great place to go to watch rugby league. Always seems a latent interest in the sport but isn't always converted into support.

Unfortunately their owner is a bit of a loon and this is the latest occasion he has gone in for brinkmanship and provocation. Seems York council (two regimes of different political persuasions), York City and RFL have all had a gutfull of him. If you need further evidence check out his comments about a disabled fan last year
