WE hear church parishes may be no more, working men's clubs and amateur sports clubs are being swallowed up by land-hungry house builders, York City FC may be doomed despite the efforts of its true supporters and what of York's only potential professional rugby league club?
In these changing times, do we look upon what is happening to these vanishing parts of our city's life either as natural evolution and inevitable, or as valuable elements of our society's fabric that should and can be retained?
The former, I think.
They will be replaced by something more relevant and, hence, supported by enough people to make them viable, and they will fade into nostalgia.
Long live nostalgia?
