I'm kind of hoping York are also worrying about a strong defensive effort out wide. This has all the ingredients for a cracking game. 

I just really really hope we win. 


We have to have one of the performances of the season though. If we start gifting unforced errors, York are too good for us to hold out repeatedly. Some selection headaches as if Donno & Lawrence are both fit, they come straight back into the team. 

I’ve watched a few of Yorks previous games highlights , a lot of play comes through Harris, & Mcshane and Harris  goal kicking is very good. 
They score a plenty tries out wide on both flanks.
I do feel our pack is superior and can get on top of theirs. 
If we can get our attitude right, which it has been recently, and get our defence in tune I think we can come out on top, won’t be easy though.

There won't be much in this game.  I've a few worries about our defence on the left but if we plug that then I'm quietly confident. 

Tickets must be selling well as York have opened the other half of the stand behind the sticks for Bulls supporters (we usually just get half!).

I went to the CC SF on Saturday at York. It's a great little stadium & a fabulous city for a day out. We cocked up with the transport to the ground & jumped in a taxi (£12), the driver said there was no special bus service running to the ground. When we got to the ground there was a special bus service running (Not sure where it left from). We tried to get the bus back after the game but we couldn't get on as we didn't have a ticket. 15 minute wait for a taxi back (£14). Apparently there is a park & ride from the train station every 10 minutes to Monks Cross, as well as the specials (not the 2Tone variety).

Park and ride is decent.   There's also some on street parking a short walk from the stadium.  

Says you can park in the the park & ride (monk Cross park and ride) next to the stadium. Is this still the case? 

According to their website it is.


York RLFC are pleased to be able to offer FREE parking on all our home matchdays in 2025, subject to availability in our Matchday Car Park, which is located within the Monks Cross Park and Ride Car Park.


The Monks Cross Park and Ride Car Park (YO32 9JU) is situated next door to the LNER Community Stadium and has an ample 400 spaces for matchday users.


No pass is required to park in the Monks Cross Park and Ride Car Park.


Please be aware that ANPR systems are in place across other Car Parks in the Monks Cross 

So included in the squad this week are
Donaldson 
Lawrence
Keyes
Scurr


We will see if any of these recent absentees will return on Sunday.


My guess is only Lawrence and maybe Donaldson. 
Strong squad non the less, and if we play to our potential only one winner for me. 

I've just been on the York website and I can't get any more tickets. Looking like it's sold out!
