York City Supporters' Society

York City Supporters' Trust was formed in February 2002 in reaction to former Chairman Douglas Craig's announcement that York City Football Club was for sale. He also announced that he had a contract with Persimmon Homes to sell our football ground, Bootham Crescent, for £4.5 million. The club was subsequently sold to John Batchelor who put the club into administration within 12 months. We then raised £600,000, formed a new company and acquired the assets of YCFC from the administrator in 2003.
