Well done good point!
GM will need to keep an eye on the mental attitude at home as its good home gates that free up cash & we were a bit nervy at home last season.
Keep that never say die attitude & we will be fine, gutted no R York on the net!!

Very important to get that point tonight, another defeat could have started to effect the team. With no radio onlineit's a bit frustrating though.

The club need to sort out their website to adapt to the football league standard - look at Crawley, morecambe & AFC Wimbledon websites to see what I mean as an example.Top right hand corner 'Player' costs £36 a year (or similar) and gets you the commentaries etc. That's where the exclusive rights are so the club need to get on and sort it out (although it seems borderline illegal to me to restrict access to a bbc commentary when I have paid for a license fee, an iPad, a radio app and home broadband!)

It's not up to the club - the league have a firm who do all football league websites - they have a waiting list and we're at the bottom of it.

as can always happen in a season, i thought our all-round passing play was worse last night than on saturday, but we've come away with a point!
however, we certainly deserved a little bit of luck, especially after ingham came so close to saving brodie's penalty.
good persistence from chambers for the second equaliser, parslow was excellent throughout, and j.smith's workrate was top class. well done City! full steam ahead back to the capital on saturday!

Might I suggest that as Stevenage, Oxford, Crawley and AFC Wimbledon all have the new format (and any others I can be bothered to check) there is a waiting list of 2!...?

Who gives a monkeys about the website. Great point tonight. Parslow playing in front of the back four is his best Position by far. Banjo is back. Blanchett is better than Fyefield and Kerr and Reed to come back in shortly. like everybody else Need another target man. Up the City

City showed great spirit last night after going behind twice.

Morecambe were a decent side and with better finishing from Ellison they could have scored 4 or 5.

Having said that the bulk of Morecambes chances came from our own errors, stupid penalty to give away and the corner we conceded from could easily have been cleared for a throw in. We gave the ball away to easily at times particularly in our own half which created unnecessary pressure.

On a positive the lads displayed great spirit and battled back for a deserved point. We raised the tempo in the second half and caused Morecambe all sorts of problems when we were going forward.

IntelXXX, I give a monkeys about the website because there are hundreds (thousands?) of people who live away from the York area who can now no longer listen to live match commentary. I live in London and its a bit tricky to get to Morecambe and back on a Tuesday night. The website issue is the answer to the commentary question. Read the posts...

Yes but it's not the club who are to blame is it? If the Football League web people haven't built the website it's hardly the club's fault. All this nonsense about "well look at Crawley etc", all of those websites were originally built during a quiet period. This summer the Football League Interactive arm has relaunched 80-odd websites, many of which have had teething troubles, and so that's why YCFC's has been shoved to the back of the queue. As usual everyone blames the club - it's nothing to do with the club and, if anything, it is the club and Radio York who are driving this process forward. They should be congratulated for this and I think most sensible supporters recognise what the actual facts of the situation are rather than all this "club is rubbish" mindless garbage.

Thank-you Yorkie59. I wasn't blaming the club either but there are some sensitive souls on here. I was merely saying it needs sorting out and the solution is out there. The club have a part to play in that but obviously cannot do it on their own and there is a 3rd party web design company to engage. But where there is money to be made thru the 'player' I'd be surprised if any enterprising business was hanging about. I'm not sure whether we will get Barry Parker's commentary or someone else? All in good time I guess...

Radio York isn't on Dab is it? It's a disgrace that live online commentary for league games is not available (but it is for conference games?!). I'm not sure who is at fault but it doesn't seem to be the club. I get analogue Radio York no more than a mile and a half from the station and it is terrible - hissy and with dropouts. Welcome to the digital age everyone.
