Well done the Knights!

Anyone know how well-equipped they are for 2019 in the championship? How far does their ambition stretch?

Congratulations to York on their promotion. I hope they will continue their upward trajectory into SL, they would bring more than a plastic Canadian club.

Congratulations York City Knights....C'mon you 3 expansion loving amigo's.....JOIN IN !

It would be fantastic if York and Bradford could both get into Super League. We need more city based teams and less small town clubs

Typical Sooper League snob....

Moving into a new 8k stadium next June i beleive. 3k attendance on Sunday. A club on the up and definitely has the potential for SL.

They are deservedly champions.

Congratulations to York City Knights, and hopefully Bradford Bulls too.

As subtle as smallpox as usual


Well done York. Get a few years under your belts in the championship and then in your new stadium it'll be time to push for SL.....great to see a club doing it properly

Of course we do.

Well done to York an excellent effort to secure automatic promotion and it's great to see RL doing well in an area which has previously struggled

Who are these 'small town clubs' you speak of? Bearing in mind that half of the current Super League clubs are based in towns; Castleford, Huddersfield, St Helens, Wigan, Warrington and Widnes (relegated).

Stay on topic please rather than trolling other clubs.

Not quite, the closest to that based on last season would be Salford with an average attendance of 4,700.

Check your stats before saying dumb things.

Congratulations York, will be great to see them in Championship next season !

Can we not have a thread were we concentrate on the subject rather than dragging other clubs down for no reason?

Well done to York, well deserved and hope they go well in the championship next year.

Lebron & Sir Kev don't know how not to....They make Chorley Jean seem 'not that annoying' which takes some doing !

Wasting your time there homme

Wrong again.
And if they cant muster a decent gate for the game that secures promotion, it would be a poor do wouldn't it

Congratulations to York Knights.

Well done, remember watching games at Clarence street back in the day, good to see them prospering again.

The other thread was locked for going down that route and inside 2 pages of the new one started by the moderator they're at it again.

York are a well run side on the up.

Can't wait to see them in their new ground. 150years old and operating outside the so called "heartland".

Just wanted to get that in before the super duper league fans get the thread locked.

Sound a little jealous???

I've attended most of York's home and away matches this season. Its been great seeing everything click into place, especially when at the start of 2017 it didn't look like they'd be in the fixture list plus its just over a year ago that they lost at Oxford!

I think Super League is some way off. Now is the time to consolidate themselves as a solid Championship club - something along the lines of a Batley or Featherstone. Then let's think about SL.

Crowds are slowly increasing, I've included a few stats below, but still a lot of work to be done to tap into other potential audiences - disgruntled York City FC fans, those who currently go down the A64 to Headingley or Wheldon Road, plus there's tourists, a big student population and the racecourse crowd. The new stadium will be a huge help. Bootham Crescent makes Wheldon Road seem like paradise!
