York have come on leaps and bounds since Dave Woods came on board, yeah York were beaten twice since he came in but I really think York can do it.

I'm Praying Thorman turns on the magic!!

Didn't he get man of the match today?

Sure was.

Man of the Match = Chris Thorman. York were exeptional today. Hard game next sunday against a very good Oldham team though!

Are both teams capable of making a go of it in the Championship?

Difficult question to Answer I definitely think Dave Woods could make a team to compete i think Oldham's biggest problem is there stadium which I don't think would make it up to standards.

Come on Oldham!!! Need a few more lancashire teams in the championship!

York = Could make a go of it, Proven Quality coach, decent fan base to start improving from, ground mediocre but just about meets standards with very little improvements needed. "Possible new 6000 capacity ground with York City with potential to expand to 9000 to be started in 2012" Vibrant youth set up and thriving amauture scene in local area. Potential for 2000+ crowds in Championship.


Oldham = Great existing squad wouldn't need too many new signings to be competitive in the Championship, Great Proven coach. Fair fanbase to improve from. Ground not fit for purpose in any way shape or form. Reasonable local amauture scene. No idea what youth set up they have. Could make ago of it but not at the Whitebank Stadium.

But they cannot make a go of it anywhere else ?

What standards?

rumour is we won't be allowed up if we win cos of the state of the ground..

That would be a shame mate. I thought the ground held about 1,200, which you would imagine would be more than adequate?

Anybody know what the average championship attendance is over the whole division?
