SO City director Terry Doyle, reckons that relegation to the Conference won't be a disaster? What rubbish, the players he has now will most certainly be most of the team he will take into the Conference.

Terry Doyle also said we will be the Arsenal of the Conference - these players can't even win any games in the Third Division. They won't be world-beaters in the lower division for, as Terry Doyle himself says, it's a well-structured professional league.

I have supported City since the mid-1960s as a season ticket holder, and though only a temp worker, still gave £100 to the Supporters' Trust. I can tell you now if City take the drop I'll never set foot in Bootham Crescent again, and from the conversations I've heard from many other season ticket holders in the popular stand, I won't be alone.

Terry Doyle hang your head in shame, you'll be lucky to get gates of 1,000 in the Conference.
