Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us.

Didn't we have to let the RFL know our stadium plans by the end of July? Is that still the case? And what would happen if we didn't have a plan?

Just to clear a few things up - the new stadium is still a hell of a long way off. A lot of York fans will believe it when they see it. York did indeed move out of their Huntington ground on the agreement that land would be made available for the new stadium and they could use York City's ground.
Unfortunately the previous owner was, shall we say, a difficult character at times and didn't get on with many, including the chairmen of the football club and York council. At one point they found themselves playing matches at Featherstone Rovers (I believe for a full season) plus amateur York clubs Heworth and Clifton. I can't remember if that was a breakdown in relationships - it was before I was involved with the club.
There have been all kinds of delays. A cinema in town objected to the size of the cinema planned to be built at the new stadium, more disagreements, the main building contractor pulled out. Oh, and did I mention more disagreements:

Things have improved considerably since the new owner has come in. He's completely changed things for the better, there's a much better relationship with key people, the team were tipped to finish 10th and have secured 4th with a home game against Toronto in the playoffs, crowds up 49% helped in part by all U16s being allowed in for free (do any other teams do that?)......the icing on the cake would be a new stadium. Fingers crossed but as I say it's a long long way off.
Good luck with the new stadium. Even at this stage I'd still settle for a shared facility in the normanton area if it were to be definitely built. I'm still very pessimistic about Castlefords new stadium being built, just like I am with Yorks. |
