WHEN was the last time tickets for two very different York sporting events sold out within hours?
We could have anticipated the rush for Royal Ascot. This is a one-off opportunity for the North to gatecrash high society's "season", and enjoy a top festival of racing to boot.
More gratifying, though, is the rush for York Knights' tickets. The reinvented, reinvigorated club was first given a pitifully small allocation of 650 for its National League Finals Day appearance.
The speed at which these were snapped up will send a message to the Rugby Football League about the thriving health of the game in York.
