Away Coach Travel to York City - March 17

[SACFC Supporters Club]

The away coach to York City is starting to fill up fairly quickly so if you would like a seat, either call Ian Bangs on 07733 381874/01727 812557, Peter Knock on 01727 847484, e-mail supportersclub@sacfc.co.uk or make your booking at the Club Shop at the Southport or Dagenham games. The more support, the better so let's get behind the team and bring back 3 points.

You can be assured of a warm welcome at our place. Many away-supporters report that their trip to York City FC proves to be one of their season’s highlights based on the matchday experience. If you haven’t been to the city before it’s certainly worth making the trip.

 

Like St Albans and Norwich, we also claim to have more pubs per square mile than any other place in Britain so you’re spoilt for choice as far as your pre-match pint is concerned. My personal recommendation is a pint of Terrier which is available in the Supporters Club Bar where all visiting supporters are made very welcome.

Looking forward to seeing you all on 17th. In the meantime, good luck v Southport and Rushden & Diamonds. I trust The Minstermen will do the Saints a favour by beating Cambridge United away on Tuesday night.

Anyone know of a good Curry House in York

[Duke of York]

I've always used the 'Akash' in North Street which has been there for years. Not too far from KKC either. I like it but I have it on good authority that the best place is 'Tandoori Nights' which has the benefit of being only half a mile from our ground. Here's a mini review of the establishment:

roughly how long does it take? 4 hrs?

[oldgeezer]

Now here's an idea - football special!

St Albans to York by steam train - make an old geezer happy anyway.

What a shame that it returns at 16:50!

You’ll get there in four but it’s worth building more time into your journey if you can. IMO the best route up is via the A1M, A14 and A1. Like St Albans, parking in York is a nightmare! Your best bet is to find street parking in Clifton which is about 25 minutes walk from the ground. This will also enable you to get a quick getaway after the match. If you can hang around it’s worth it. St Albans may be nice but Yorkshire’s County Town really is something else!

Good luck v Dagenham & Redbridge - we’ll try and do you a favour tonight by beating Cambridge United!

See you on Saturday!

I bought the tourist guide and that shows a few car parks. I'm planning to be up there for about 10:00. What are my chances of finding a space for the day?

[YELLOW]

Make sure you take in the Minster if you get a chance, Laz.

 

I would say York was definitely the best away trip we did in the Conference. Went on both occasions and it's a quality day out. Only regret was not getting there earlier to appreciate all the sights but some quality pubs there and not too far from the ground.

 

Hopefully the weather will be dry on Saturday as the away end is completely open and has no covering.

cheers DoY

Yellow, I have a top-notch cathedral just a short walk from where I live! I'll take a peek at theirs but I suspect it won't be as good.

 

I expect it will be my best day out too. There have been some long trips in this division but most of the places are complete dives! Exeter wasn't bad but it was midweek.

 

If the miracle happens and we stay up, Torquay should make a good trip next season.

 

How was Great Wakering? (-:

I think you are confusing me with the Urchin ones but yes we do have Great Wakering at home at the weekend. I went to Aveley on Saturday and it was a craphole.

I'm sure St Albans cathedral is very impressive but doubt it can compete with the Minster although I'll leave you to decide

If you stay up I'm sure you'll have the pleasure of visiting the likes of Droylsden and Boston as well

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

They had one of them steam trips to York when we played Halifax but it left well early as well...

 

Shame we can't get a one way trip :-(

[Laz]

The trip is for the following week. Bad planning!

 

Yellow, St Albans cathedral is impressive indeed, especially the tower, in my opinion. I'll try to post a few images for you later today.

[YELLOW]

I'll look forward to that.

[Duke of York]

I hear that you played well last night against the Champions elect but I have to warn you that York City were on fire last night. The five goals were all superb but we could so easily have had 8 or 9!
