Deacon subbed, must be Deacon Blue because he's a real gone kid

 

All over. Deserved win by Brid.

 

Dreadful. Losing your dignity.

 

I just can’t understand us playing in York. I used to enjoy going to these games. Won’t be happening now will it.

Has the club given a reason for why games are being played there? On the face of it, it does seem odd, and wrong.

 

They fell out with Ferriby. If you look at the fixtures, most clubs don't play their U23 games at their senior home ground nowadays.

 

yes, true, but 40 miles / 75 mins away?!! Was meaning why York not somewhere else local?

 

Where apart from NFU is closer, that offers decent facilities? I guess that's the judgment they made. Plus the new York City stadium is fairly handy if they meet up at Bishop Burton, as long as they don't mind 50mph speed limits and constant temptations from McDonalds, Starbucks, etc.

 

Pity they fell out with NFU? Who would have thought!

 

Kinnel...

Driving the 1079 on a regular basis will suck the soul out of anyone.

It is irredeemably dull, too slow, too straight, lacking views, features or excitement.

I ****ing hate driving that road more than any other in the world.

 

If the Pocklington Canal Head doesn’t get your heart racing then why are you even alive?

 

Compared to the Bridlington to Howden run, the A1079 run is up there with Route 66 or Scotland NC500!!

 

It's right up there.

As is the Scarborough to Thirsk road.





I've got a tractor and I'm gonna drive it.





Slowly.






Right in front of Ernie.





For miles...




... And miles...






...And ****ing miles.

 

"Make your move, urban bastard ..."

 

Ah yes. But you can stop and look around Matthewsons at Thornton le Dale. Before rejoining the queue behind either the tractor or the 1936 Alvis.

 

For U23s games, they could have used Haworth Park, or Dene Park. In fact, even Goole's ironically named Victoria Pleasure Grounds would have sufficed.

The new stadium at York is pretty nice though.
