FIRST there was 'Red Nose Day', now there is 'Proud To Be Red Day'.

York City Supporters' Trust are urging fans to wear their red colours with pride for the Minstermen's home tie against Hartlepool United on February 16.

Robert Havercroft from the Trust said: "We want to turn Bootham Crescent into a sea of red. It would be great to see every York City fan present wearing the colours of the club.

"Even if you don't possess a replica shirt, scarf or hat, we just ask fans to wear something red."
