THE message is very similar for York City fans today. All hope is not yet gone. True, the team's defeat by Yeovil leaves them on the brink of losing their Football League status.
But as director Sophie McGill points out, the club was on the verge of extinction until a remarkable life-saving effort by the fans.
Supporters cannot score the goals City so badly need. But they can rally round their beleaguered team and remind them, in the words of another club's song, that they will never walk alone. And miracles do sometimes happen in football.
