Yes, I know we're not playing there anymore but unless I've missed something, I don't think there ever was a real reason given as to why this friendly was cancelled. "Beyond the circumstances of both clubs" is all I have seen. Does anyone know what the real reasons were? Surely it's not because North Yorks Police couldn't deal with the hoardes of black and white troublemakers.

I'm going over to York for the weekend anyway as my best mate lives there and as soon as the friendly was announced we made plans, so it'll just be a weekend in York with no footy instead.

You won’t be on your own Les. 27 on a stag do.
Originally the Stag had to wear FULL Scunny kit for the match. So he’s actually quite pleased it’s off.
See you there. UTM


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

We'll be out in York on Saturday night I would think so I'll keep an eye out for a large group of inebriated Mariners.

Committed to visiting York this weekend?
No game to watch.
Try some of these alternative activities:-

Pub crawls. http://www.withinthewalls.tumblr.com

Comedy? The Great Yorkshire Fringe begins today.  http://www.greatyorkshirefringe.com

How about some Shakespeare in Europe’s first ever pop-up Shakespearean Theatre. http://www.shakespearesrosetheatre.com

You’re welcome.

Still no one's mentioned exactly why the game was called off.

Must have been cos the North Yorks plod couldn't cope which is a bit pathetic.

Probably because of the heavy demands placed on the police by the Shakespeare thing. The coppers heard there was going to be a big gang fight with knives and even swords. Something to do with those well-known York mobs t'Capulets and t'Montagues.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.
