WOULD WE LET THE KNIGHTS SHARE ?

Maroon and white · Posted: Thu Apr 08, 2004 7:04 am Post subject: WOULD WE LET THE KNIGHTS SHARE ?

Yeah you're right it's an old topic, but; "What if"!!

OK,so we don't need the money! That's the boards stock answer,[ or it will ruin the "bowling green" pitch], that's often used.
What harm would it do? After all if we'd have gone to Hun*****,^&%, can't bring myself to say it, near ASDA, we would have shared then.
It seem as though the Knights would be quite happy.

The only time the Knights should share with City is at a properly-funded purpose built stadium which, whether the current bunch of wankers at the Council like it or not, will have to be funded at some stage within the next 10 years.

Either that or both clubs will be condemned to a very bleak future of underachievement.

They would be most welcome from me, There is not reason why not as far as I can see, We cant play football on the deck so we could play on concrete if we had to, So it woukld be a good thing for the city as a whole if you ask me and then they could knock down that hell-hole of a huntington stadium.

50% of gate reciepts, 50% of the sale of huntington (persimmon), agar as a squad motivator and the knights would be welcome with open arms, otherwise the egg chasers can stay where they are!

As Phil said, the turf at BC wouldnt be able to handle Rugby and Football been played on it. Only time this should happen is if a purpose built stadium is the venue like at Huddersfield.

There are also the financial implications eg advertising money etc.

Its a no go

Of ourse the turf would be able to handle it, Look at millmoor, pretty sure they manage it. Without looking into it I think its essentially a good idea.

I think it would be a good idea and would make economic sense. I spoke to the groundsman about it after Sundays game, he seemed ok about it but said we would need a new surface (presumably a different type of grass).

Go for it if the opportunity arises.

However I doubt Percy would build on HS it is not the Knights ground to decide, and what are you gonna do with the athletes?

And to be fair maroon and white I dont believe the board have ever used the it will ruin the pitch argument. I dont think there has been an official statement ever about sharing.

So lets not find any opportunity to kick the board and stop these dont let the truth get in the way of a decent swipe at the board posts.

Oh and catkin, have you met Agar? I have and I would prefer him NOT to be anywhere near our football club.

I shall say just 2 words. John Batchelor.

Research people before you welcome them with open arms!

It would benefit the rugby club wouldnt it. So the athletes can run the streets and there is a sandpit on millthorpe.

AD, I think the Agar referred to here is the guy from the Knights, not the ****** we met. Confused

Our pitch would never stand up to it. Look at Wigans pitch and Stockport County (sale sharks play there) They are both mudbaths.

the pitch wouldnt be able to handleit it is not the right kind of pitch for rugby
its not strong enough due to the shitty soil
the groundsman said that the pitch would need relaying for rugby cause this pitch couldnt handle it due to the type of turf.

old news this topic apparently city (others on hear may know better) have asked the question verbally whether the knights would consider sharing BC but doesn't look under present circumstances they are keen.

Why would the Knights want to share at BC? Facilities for both fans and players are laughable!!!

As for the pitch, if YC results are anything to go by, it could do with being dug over with garlic and crucifixes, to get at least one decent result!

Touched a raw nerve there AcombDave!!

I was under the impression this was a general chat forum anyhow? You want to stop living in the past, The Knights are in no way connected to the old York rugby clubs.

Anyway, better playing out of the city than watching conference league football? I think you'll find the number for the McCain Stadium in the Yellow Pages!!, try 01723 ... you'll need it for next years away fixtures.
