THE excitement is almost tangible. Tomorrow, the strutting superstars of Premiership Fulham will run out at Bootham Crescent to take on York City, a team with a reputation for fearlessly slaying giants.
This is the biggest match of City's biggest season. It is shaping up to be a carnival atmosphere, with a sell-out crowd ready to raise the roof in support of the mighty Minstermen.
The classy continentals, with their big city airs and bulging bank accounts, will never have encountered anything like it.
No better tonic could have been prescribed to dispel York's worries on and off the pitch. This will be a day to remember. Good luck, City!
