SUPPORTERS' pressure group the Friends of Bootham Crescent (FoBC) have reacted angrily to yesterday's statement by the directors of Bootham Crescent Holdings.
BCH offered York City the option to stay at Bootham Crescent in the short term, subject to signing an agreement to vacate the ground within a fixed time.
FoBC spokesperson Ian Savage blasted the offer as "derisory and offensive" claiming that BCH were attempting to claim moral high ground when they had no right to.
"Quite how the directors of this appalling company can claim to still be supporters of York City is quite beyond me. They are cynically using the fact that York City has gone into administration to engineer a way of ensuring the club is permanently evicted from Bootham Crescent, to facilitate the sale of the ground for vast personal profit."
