Because I'm sad I had a look for the FA rules on sponsorship and it seems that you can have one sponsor's logo up to 250 square cm on the front of the shirt. That Paddy Power logo is massively bigger than that surely.
I think the timing is down to Gray's contract, which presumably would have been up in a few weeks when he would have been at the club for a year. It seems that the board have told Gray that the contract would not be renewed, and he's left rather than see it out. Probably a good move for everyone...
Let's stick Martin Gray in here. We've started poorly and sacked the manager in autumn for the last several seasons, and it's not currently looking like that's going to change.
Prices frozen from last season, which is probably the only possible course of action. We had around 1,400 last season, more than we had in the National League, but I can see it dropping massively.
We haven't announced much yet:
Saturday July 7th - Shildon AFC away
Saturday July 14th - Bradford City home
Saturday July 21st - Grimsby Town home
We're also supposed to play against Darlington and Middlesbrough as part of deals for players.
Reyt.
At some point this might become a good idea, but right now it isn't. Many questions spring to mind.
1. What league is this club going to appear in? Where is the money coming from? Even NCEL div 1 sides need a budget.
2. Where are they going to play? Nowhere in York is suitable, unless...
He'll fit right in with us, then. I seriously doubt we're going to playing lovely football next season. The question will be whether it's remotely effective.
It seems that there was some interest, but nothing concrete. Looks increasingly as though the club was never really for sale. Gray has been carrying on regardless as if he had the faintest idea what the budget for next season would be.
I'm sick of being treated like an imbecile by this lot, and...
It would be laughable if we somehow managed to scrape into 7th place now. There's no way we deserve any chance of promotion after this abortion of a season.
It's not mathematically done yet, but you'd imagine that's our season over. Will no doubt be confirmed on Saturday, which will also mark the end of my time as a season ticket holder until there are some radical changes.
