York City players invited to civic reception at Mansion House today (From York Press)

great timing kids at school, at work. agree with two readers should be done next week, i remember in the 90's when we won at wembley there was an open top bus tour of york this could be organised for next mon or tues night & give the fans to congratulate the team properly

Not that scale, Big Boy. Its just an acknowledgement thing fr the Trophy win, plate of fish and chips, quick smile for any fans and away. They were also *invited*, its not a club idea - lets be honest too, a certain meeting on the 17th doubtless influenced timing.
If we win Sunday, I'm sure you'll see the open top bus and full pomp. Even if we lose (shudder), I think there will be some sort of recognition of the whole Wembley-twice season.

The people who complained are morons. What stopped you ringing the club and just checking what the deal was and getting a direct response, why did you have to 'complain to the press'? Pathetic.

Harsh comment and I'll bet that there are lots of disappointed fans who won't be able to turn up to applaud the team for their great achievement.

Some might say that The Lord Mayor (of his
own back yard) along with the rest of the scroungers that make up his entourage, are clearly out of touch with the public for arranging this event at a time that's undoubtedly inconvenient for very many genuine supporters.

It's not specifically the content of what they say it the way they went about it. Going behind the club, not getting a proper explination and complaining to the press because they've nothing else better to do in their **** lives. Great support during such a big week, hey?

It's not that big a deal anyway but it's last minute, has to be during the day this time sadly and that's that. If we win next week they'll be a massive show and it'll be at a good time.

Actually I say it's not about the content, that's regarding the time issue, the bloke that says they should be training when they are training anyway (god forbid they do something else for an hour) IS a moron.

What's the betting that the anti stadium brigade will be whingeing and moaning that this recognition is, in some bizarre and sinister way, prejudicial to the objectivity of the planning process - you know what they're like they remind me of the dementors from the Harry Potter books sucking all the joy out of life!

I'm more looking forward to them going 'SEE! They only have 50 fans!!!' when no-one turns up, midday, for the players having a cup of tea for winning a trophy. ;)

Spot on. This lot just don't have a clue. Absolute disgrace. They're doing this purely for their own benefit. Calamity James wanting to ride on the coat tails of the football club hoping some popularity will rub off

Notice how only two fans complained - and they're both related. Churlish is, possibly, the least offensive word that I can come up with.

Whose to say the team are not training this morning like they normally do? I would have thought light training, set plays and a bit of tactical discussion is the most you should be expecting at this stage of the season - you can't say they aren't match fit.

I have to agree with you there Big Boy where have they been all season ??????? The new stadium will be a total flop anyway if they build it out of town. The Football will die just like Rugby has in the city

No surprise that the majority of your comments are negative! I am probably what you would call a "band wagoner" as I don't really follow football. I am however passionate about York and very proud of the city. So I went to the Mansion House and cheered and clapped along with everyone else. Well done to York City FC, I hope you enjoyed your lunch and good luck for the double on Sunday.
