York City FC

I know, I write too seldom on this blog, but after the big deadline of 1st Dec I promise I'll put out a lot more random pictures for everyone's pleasure. 

But this time it is about York City FC. I really must say, that after watching these guys three times this fall I've kindof fallen in love with the team. Well, maybe not the team, because the guys are not that handsome, but still, the atmosphere among the supporters and the team spirit is awesome. Yes, they are playing in Blue Square Premier, which is outside of the English league system. But they are close to promotion. At the moment, after todays away win against AFC Wimbledon they are now in fifth place, with some points down to the last play-off place. This is encouraging and I really look forward to follow the team on the web after Christmas. They are also through to the second round of THE FA Cup, and will play Cambridge United away later this month. Hopefully they will tie in Cambridge, so I have time to watch the team one more time before leaving town. And for all scouts visiting this blog, look out for Richard Brodie. He is in the beginning of his twenties, and he is top scorer in the division. Earlier this week he played for England C against Poland. A huge talent, who York should be happy if they can keep for another half season.
