THE York City Supporters' Trust has seen its coffers boosted after a donation from the players.

The fans' heroes, led by skipper Chris Brass, had wanted to join the Trust in a show of solidarity.

However, legal problems meant the move was not possible so instead the players donated £200 - the equivalent of 20 membership fees.

Brass said: "The supporters have been fantastic, rallying round to save the club and getting behind the team.

"We just wanted to make a gesture and give something back to them."
