WE reported York City FC manager Jackie McNamara’s conviction for travelling on a train without buying a ticket before boarding.
We have been asked to emphasise that the more serious charge of travelling with intent to avoid payment was dropped.
Mr McNamara explained that he took the train because he was short of time but actively attempted to buy a ticket once on board.
