TICKETS have gone on sale for York City Knights' first annual New Year's Eve party.

The bash, in the stadium bar, starts at 7.30pm and tickets, priced £25 a head, include a carvery buffet and disco. Tickets and details are available from Leanne Cooper in the club office on 01904 656105.

Organiser/fan Phil Seymour, referring to the 2002 demise of York Wasps and the incredible formation of the new Knights club, said: "After the year we've all had, I think we need a really good New Year's Eve.

"We all deserve it, and what a way to welcome in the new year, which brings us our new club."

Details are also available from Phil on email (pseymour@grayfin.net).
