Supporters line up to save the game

Of a club that once had Wembley fame.

Crowds rally round to provide support

To stop the demise of footy sport.

Who can match the talent lost?

With a cheque book, count the cost.

Someone is needed to save the day

So that City can remain in play.

Must it be time to close the gate?

No more goals to celebrate.

Will it ever have to be

An impasse for York City?

Contest far from over yet

Whistle not blown, deals not set.

Management to find a fitting catch

The ultimate goal, the perfect match.

Until referee signals full time has come

Let's save a team that means so much fun.

Sue Whittaker,

Ennerdale Avenue,

York.
