That was my first thought but it remains to be seen if we can have the Keepmoat at such short notice? Or if it is even under consideration at this stage?

What a joke, the council informed them six weeks ago that this may be the case.

I hope it doesn't go ahead and gives us more time.

Farcical it really is. And they are serious contenders for promotion? They do seem to have more than their fair share of problems with York Council.

Its a club v council thing , at loggerheads for ages. Got to feel for the Knights fans , they had to travel to Fev for some home games last season.

Yet another case to be in the 'You can't make these things up' category!

Is it only rugby league that has this kind of fiasco or are other sports subject to such incompetence?

Almost makes me relieved that we've got the car park to play our matches. Perhaps York Council need to factor this into their future plans.

York fans views on the matter. The one from Simon Hall this evening is quite telling. http://www.totalrl.com/forums/index.php ... pic=288348
