What does Bootham Crescent mean to me? Loads of the things, games and memories mentioned countless times already,but mostly the place that gave a platform for something that was heavily mocked at the time but inspired others and is now mimicked up and down the country #YCFC #JR04
One of the last times we got a packed Shippo. Also one of the hottest days on it ever recorded (probably...). Vid credit: @tom_poole_87 #YCFC #WeAreYork
We got relegated to the Conference North this day after a tame effort at staying up. Most would be lucky to run out to this for a play-off match. #YCFC
Can't remember the game, but some solid flag waving. If you aren't already aware then that strip between the front of the Shippo and the pitch is a natural wind tunnel. Or so it seemed most of the time! #YCFC
If you were a fan of the white shorts then we're sorry (we're not really). #YCFC
Card displays are everywhere now (or were, you know what I mean...) to the point it seems like they've always been a thing. But they weren't and doing them was a journey into the unknown if fans would be onside or not. Luckily York fans are mint. #YCFC Featuring: @DavidMcGurk5
Stickers. They aren't big or clever but they are now everywhere, a good decade or so after most of the few that did exist had a raven on them.
First home game after a ban on flags, rumours of club bans for anyone with a flag on a stick.
Weirdly I can't find too many good pics, but if testimonial years were a thing for flags, 'Come on City' (aka COC) would be first in line. Few have been through as much for the cause! (2nd pic is pre-match before 'Big COC' was unveiled) #YCFC
First ever card display we did (Scarborough, 04/05), featuring a really bad attempt at a panoramic, plus Donaldson and Bishop (how did we ever manage not to go up with that strike force?!). Also featuring the YNS hoarding and original JR banner if you look (very!) closely. #YCFC
I'll keep to the flag/JR theme but nothing in particular behind these photos, I just like seeing a busy looking Shippo.
Two-sticks.
First pic is the original (and by far the heaviest!) smiley flag. Not sure why we adopted the smiley, not sure we ever put much thought into it, it just looks good (and I suppose ironic...), so why not?! #YCFC
More from that time we dropped to the lowest level in the clubs history. We'll always remember the great atmospheres at BC, but we'll never forget the silence at the final whistle that day. #YCFC
One of the great nights of recent-ish times, Luton at home and that glorious last minute winner. Even more memorable was the fact it was the last time we were permitted to use bog roll as streamers after their keeper got upset about it and moaned to the ref.
