Looks like a great signing. He certainly looked like a proper player against us for Bolton. Too good for league 2 that’s for sure .. what a signing! Just hoping the striker we get is going to be of equal quality...

A busy day for the minstermen
It's been in a state of disrepair for years, but if anyone is interested in seeing a bit of history before it's gone, then this upcoming season may be the last time to see the old stadium before it's demolished (it's only a 5-10 min walk from the new stadium).
I'm sure a few people here will have a few memories of visiting here, walking down that narrow path to the away end, was always good for atmosphere pre and post the game.
We'll always have our 6-0 victory over Chelsea in 1981 or our 2-0 win over Villa in the 1st ever League Cup final here (shame it was a two legged final and we lost the return game 3-0), Alan Lee's last minute winner against Brentford to send us up, some fantastic times there, but also some not so good times watching us get drubbed in the piss wet rain sat in the uncovered Millmoor Lane end. Character building.
Ironically, our last season at the stadium in 2008 we played Barnet on the last game of the season, and it's kind of fitting that, that is the case again in this upcoming season too, given it may well be knocked down by then.
Part of me wants the big decisions to be right, especially when promotions, play-offs and relegations can be decided by a single moment. But part of me thinks the speed and spontaneity of lower league football is one of the reasons I love it in the first place.
If the option was there tomorrow, would you vote for VAR in League Two or keep things exactly as they are?
I was doing some research and found 19 of the players at the tournament have played in League Two, thought some have played more times than others.

A player who came in on loan last season and managed to replace our Club Captain in the starting XI.

Team of the year last season. Another very solid looking signing.
Obviously the leagues are completely different. But there are some things about lower-league football that many fans genuinely prefer. Could be atmosphere, affordability, accessibility, community feel or something else entirely. What's your answer?
