@LucanHawes @allyorkarentwe Time to put enmity aside and listen to the supporters, talk to/encourage the trust, make the last season at BC a great season. Us fans are the lifeblood of the club, we live and breath York City. Stop treating us like the enemy and you will reap the rewards. #CTID

@See_Jay05 @matt_uggla The more scars we have the sweeter the future highs. ❤️💙🏆

[AlanRaimes @AlanRaimes]

@matt_uggla @yorkcityforever I’m more worried about you ordering a bigger trophy cabinet and the rocketing cost of good silver polish. 😬❤️💙🏆

@rmf80 @Joshstones09 I think Ollie Pearce currently has that title. Josh is his big right hand man. The master and his gifted apprentice in a team of talented artisans. The succession is assured but I think Ollie may have quite a few seasons left to display his prowess at YCFC.

@mally308 @tommyinyork87 @YorkCityFC GSK is a pragmatic & stoic pro. He’d rather be backup & vital training partner for the No.1 at an ambitious, successful club, on good money, than a low wage whipping boy in a struggling non league outfit.
There will be a quality goalie coming in soon, possibly a big club loan.

@AngelaRayner A blatant lie from a tax dodging politician who has just bought an £800k house.

[AlanRaimes @AlanRaimes]

@AGroundsss It’s nothing to do with attendances, but you could question the long term viability of the Wood’s very small & recent fan base in terms of EFL survivability. Rochdale have earned that place in the EFL over a whole season. 2 up with 6 team playoffs for 2nd is fundamentally flawed.

[AlanRaimes @AlanRaimes]

@CalYCFC @sameoldcitypod @SaxtonYorkie Nowt else to do. You’ll just have to put up with it until we start next season. ❤️💙🏆

[AlanRaimes @AlanRaimes]

@sameoldcitypod @SaxtonYorkie @CalYCFC Really???? Just clarifying for those who might think there might be an iota of truth in that silly post. We are a proper serious club now. I’m doubling down on naysayers.
YCFC are in their best shape in living memory. Let’s hold our heads up high and show the EFL. ❤️💙🏆

[AlanRaimes @AlanRaimes]

@SaxtonYorkie @CalYCFC Just YCFC season ticket holders at Rochdale sold out in less than 2 hours. Some Leeds fans live in York but they don’t watch City, ever. We are getting more of our local youth & older fans every season. We have well over 5k season ticket holders & big away support. So bollox❤️💙

[AlanRaimes @AlanRaimes]

@TheLastBrumby @CalYCFC They built a swimming pool and leisure centre, NHS facilities a cinema and several large hospitality outlets for the council in addition to the stadiums. It was years over schedule and beset by cockups. Typical local authority money wasting.

[AlanRaimes @AlanRaimes]

@UBlockDale1907 From a practical point of view, York fan, love a Rochdale awayday, close, friendly fans, good chippy, cheap beer & top pie peas &gravy. Carlisle easy to beat, Scunny close/rarely friendly/💩 pitch, BW plastics no fans. You’re best team in the playoffs. Get it won.
❤️💙🏆

@brianstokes92 Don’t be silly, can’t tell fans they can’t commit to the whole season. Need a bigger stadium. Extend North Stand, +2500, separate concessions & partitions. A roofed and heated home fans social club above South entry on stilts. Premier League? Extend West Stand. 15k will be fine.

[AlanRaimes @AlanRaimes]

@GabRamseyJourno @ycfcst Trouble is that by the time we could now organise it we will have had our party. Players will be going on holiday. They had their chance. They shafted us like they always do. Police & Council. It’s time for apologies, dialogue & changes to attitude & how our stadium is run.

@UgglaAnne29485 @yorkcityforever This is what happens when you get a council run by lefty f***wits and an anti working class police service and justice system. Let’s do the open top bus but no Lord Mayor’s reception. Back to the Stadium afterwards to get cheers from 8500 Yorkies. They don’t deserve YCFC or YCK.

[AlanRaimes @AlanRaimes]

@YorkCityFC I’ve heard that live music is also banned at the stadium, maybe to increase the value of new housing to be built nearby. The moronic refusal to recognise the need to achieve viability for both the stadium & its tenants by politicians & officials is an absolute disgrace. #ycfc❤️💙

[AlanRaimes @AlanRaimes]

@YorkCityFC Can we please be told who actually turned down this very reasonable request to serve alcohol at an important public event and how they justify this decision. It seems astounding that the stadium has had it potential uses and viability emasculated by even more total stupidity. 1/2

[AlanRaimes @AlanRaimes]

@YCFCAcademy Just adding to the momentum and confidence for Saturday.
Well done lads ❤️💙
