FESTIVAL MATCH

York City Football Club today revealed the team line-ups for their Past Players Festival Match on Sunday 7th March, kick-off 2.00pm.

Communications Director Sophie McGill said, “Match organizer Graham Bradbury has pulled off such a coup to encourage all these heroes from the past to play and attend the event. I think for many fans, this is a dream prospect to see the legendary Championship 1983/84 side pitching their skills against the heroes of the 1993 Wembley play-off winning team.”

McGill added, “This will be a tremendous day and a great fundraising opportunity for the Club. We would like to thank Graham Bradbury for all his efforts and also all the ex-City heroes who at taking part in this memorable occasion. Many of our ex-player community have kept a close eye on the situation at York City over the past two years, and this game is testimony to their devotion to the club and our home, Bootham Crescent.”
