Altrincham FC First Team / Re: Fabulous gesture by the York City Squad

Irrelevant!
It's not irrelevant at all. There is a big difference between saying "if you fancy going to the game tonight we'll pay for your ticket" and saying "well seeing as you're here, we'll pay for your ticket" knowing how many fans are going to turn up.
Now we know what really happened, it wasn't exactly a "fabulous" gesture. More a nice thought. Still commendable, but not quite how the original post makes it out to be.
However, if the minibus of 8 Northwich Vics fans crashed on the way to an away game and you were all killed you know that no-one who runs your club would give a sh*t because you club is a load of corrupt bankrupt sh*te.
So I'm quite happy with the gesture thanks.
