TO survive, York City needs two things: time and money. Today we can reveal the club has secured the first. Now it needs cold, hard cash.

In what is literally a ground-breaking deal, all the parties have agreed that City should play a final season at Bootham Crescent while Huntington Stadium is prepared to become its new home.

There are still hurdles to overcome. The first is that £200,000 survival target. We hope today's first glimpse of a long-term future for City will inspire the donations to come rolling in.
