WELL done to City of York Council for inclusion and support with the cycling Tour de Yorkshire.

Now please give support to York City Knights and all the young boys and girls aged from five to early teens who have enjoyed the training /education sessions with Norris the Knight in their respective schools over the past years.

Also to all the youngsters who play rugby with the York local amateur clubs Acorn, Heworth and New Earswick, many of whose pinnacle would be playing for their home city team in this fine city of ours. If common sense were to prevail, £15 million would build a fine stadium for the professional football and rugby clubs and the remaining millions could be shared between the young to enable them to buy/rent houses and the old to help them receive the care they need in old age.
