THE York City Supporters' Trust will be holding a fans' meeting later this month at the Tempest Anderson Hall in York.

The event, on Friday, April 25, starting at 7.30pm, will explain and discuss the Trust's rescue package that saved City from extinction.

The relationship between the fans' organisation and the club's new board of directors and the proposed move to Huntington will also be on the agenda.

Tickets for the event will go on sale in the Bootham Crescent club shop before and after the match against Kidderminster Harriers on Easter Monday.

Tickets are available to any City fans and cost £2 to help cover costs and control numbers.

Trust spokesperson Kirsten Gillies, said: "At the meeting, we will try to provide people with a summary of the of the Trust's business dealings over the past few months and the ultimate rescue package.

"The York City saga is a complex one, and trying to cram it all in to two hours will be quite a challenge."

Organisers have stressed, the meeting is to deal with Trust matters. It is not an event by York City Football Club Limited, which is the company owned by the Trust, whose football club operations are overseen by a separate board of directors.

The football club will be holding an open event for supporters in July 2003.

The Trust's annual general meeting, fans' forum and elections are expected to be held in the last quarter of 2003.

The Tempest Anderson Hall, in Museum Gardens, hosted the historic inaugural public meeting, organised by the Evening Press, in January 2002 that provided a mandate for the formation of a Trust in York.

Fifteen months later, through the Trust, the fans of City rescued the club from the brink of extinction.
