Unbelievable! It will have to be played at the Keepmoat then.
can't go changing fixture dates now.

That was my first thought but it remains to be seen if we can have the Keepmoat at such short notice? Or if it is even under consideration at this stage?

What a joke, the council informed them six weeks ago that this may be the case.

I hope it doesn't go ahead and gives us more time.

Farcical it really is. And they are serious contenders for promotion? They do seem to have more than their fair share of problems with York Council.

Its a club v council thing , at loggerheads for ages. Got to feel for the Knights fans , they had to travel to Fev for some home games last season.

Yet another case to be in the 'You can't make these things up' category!

Is it only rugby league that has this kind of fiasco or are other sports subject to such incompetence?

Almost makes me relieved that we've got the car park to play our matches. Perhaps York Council need to factor this into their future plans.

The York Press reports that the match is OFF .... www.yorkpress.co.uk/sport/146304 ... dium_saga/ Nothing on the York City Knights official site currently.

You can't beat a bit of hyperbole .....

Bad for York, but that may just have saved our bacon.

It gives more time to find a CREDIBLE replacement for 'privet' Hedges.

Cue my scepticism.

What's the betting they just try and muddle through with Kesik?

I shan't be watching if they do ... we saw how useless that was at Hunslet in the cup.

[iWe are sad to announce that Sunday's game with Doncaster is OFF. No further comment will be made at this point.[/i


What a desperately sad situation.

Does the cancelled game count on Hedges three ? Serious question.

It should do but not knowing our luck. Its not his fault York can't play the match.

There's still nothing on our website that it's off.You would think the Dons and York clubs would be 1st to know or should be the 1st! off anything
official and Carl should be told before anyone including the press.

If it's a 3 match ban then it makes no difference he's banned till 3 games have been played whoever we play against.

Don't think anyone said otherwise ... but what it does do, is give us an extra week to sort out a replacement.
Not that I think they will get someone in ..... despite what was said earlier that they were looking into it.
But you never know.

If York are unable to play this fixture does that mean we get the points?

If the game isn't played at all then their season can't continue which means all York's other six games would be forfeited I would assume. Otherwise how could it be fair ?

I've just heard from a reliable source that Guildford has pulled the plug.

Very sad if confirmed.
