I SHOULD like to ask David Potter (Letters, February 16) a few questions about the position of York City in the Third Division last season compared with where they are now.

The answer is, Mr Potter, York City finished two points short of a play-off place under manager Terry Dolan. Whereas current manager Chris Brass is taking them to the Conference League - probably this season.

Mr Potter, your knowledge of football could be written on half a postage stamp.
