The Trust moved quickly to stamp their mark on the Minstermen.

After completing their takeover the telephone message left by ex-chairman John Batchelor heard by callers to the club switchboard was wiped clean.

Within hours of clearing the hurdle posed by the CVA, Batchelor's voice had been erased and replaced by that of Rob Havercroft - Trust representative and match-day announcer.

Describing York City as 'your community football club', Havercroft goes on to give callers a list of options before telling them to 'keep the faith'.
