In fairness to Frank Sidebottom, it was I who approached him to do the York gig this weekend, so if anyone's jumping on a bandwagon it's me, not him.
I noticed on his website that he'd been doing more and more gigs over recent months.
At the same time York Minstermen (
www.yorkminstermen.org.uk ) have been trying to find more and more uses for York City Social Club in order to increase the football club's revenue.
So I got in touch and invited him to do a gig which I hope will see us have a full Social Club on a Sunday night when it would normally be shut, and raise a few quid for York Minstermen at the same time.
Just to correct the title a bit, Frank will be on the pitch before the game, messing about a bit with our mascot, Yorkie the Lion, but there are no plans for him to be on the pitch at half-time.
He'll be on stage in the Social Club around 8.00pm.
