Exercise not only helps with weight loss and keeps you supple, it can help reduce the chances of medical conditions such as anxiety and depression, heart disease, obesity, diabetes and dementia. It is recommended that adults exercise for 150 minutes a week and children for 300 minutes which can be achieved by just 30 or 60 minutes respectively each day. Sport and fitness activities can help build friendships and strong communities. This directory provides you with a list of sports clubs offering a range of sporting and physical activity opportunities. There are lots of different opportunities for fitness in York, including inclusive sport.

  • New Frontiers (Especially the 3 Gents Who Gave a Fiver and Said to Keep the Change) and the Positive Feedback Arising from It

BC – A Second Home Where Are They Now R Hurry Up Bootham Cheers Quiz + More S York City South & Other Groups Merry Christmas and many thanks everyone who bought issue #34 of new frontiers (especially the 3 gents who gave a fiver and said to keep the change) and the positive feedback arising from it. From the sales, we were able to donate over £200 to York City South which formed a small part of the £1,000 that YCS donated to York City in March following the first lockdown. The last issue went on sale on January 1st, naively, we thought let’s get into Monks Cross in spring, see the lay of the land and have this issue out in August. How wrong could we be? The first MX delay was announced within a fortnight and subsequent shenanigans means that it was only completed last week, a story lasting 19 years.. Down at YCS, we had a bit of a committee re-shuffle in the summer. With Chairman Derek Feasby moving back to Yorkshire, ex chair Alastair Smith answered the call, flying all the way back from the USA to commence a second term as Chairman. Ray Goodearl becomes Vice Chairman and Andy Naylor is our new Treasurer, the pair swapping roles. Our thanks go to Derek for his time as Chairman, no doubt we’ll see him at games (lockdown restrictions permitting), don’t where, don’t know when, but hopefully it won’t be too long.

  • Developing Football Regulation to Encourage Supporter Community Ownership in Football
    SupporterS Direct BrieFiNG paper No. 2 Developing Football Regulation to Encourage Supporter Community Ownership in Football “It’s all very well football legislating to punish failure but they are not regulating to prevent it.” Developing Football Regulation to Encourage Supporter Community Ownership in Football 1 About Supporters Direct Supporters Direct was formed in 2000 as an initiative of the UK Government. Its goal is to ‘promote sustainable spectator sports clubs based on supporters’ involvement and community ownership’. Supporters Direct aims to create the conditions in which supporters can secure influence and ownership of their clubs, and campaigns for the wider recognition of the social, cultural and economic value of sports clubs. It believes that sports clubs and competitions are increasingly being put at risk by short-term vested interests, poor financial management and inadequate standards of governance. It began its activities in English football but is now working in more than 20 different European countries, and also works in rugby league, rugby union and ice hockey. It has offices in London and Glasgow. It is a community benefit society registered with the Financial Services Authority and owned by its member supporters’ trusts. Contents Executive Summary 4 1 Introduction – Regulating from the top and the bottom 8 2 Football Finance, Regulation and Supporter 13 Community Ownership 3 A New Regulatory Framework 29 4 Government’s role in reforming football 48 Executive Summary This second Supporters Direct Briefing Paper focuses on the changes needed in the regulation of football in England, to foster the growth of supporter community ownership. It also outlines the role supporter ownership and involvement can play in strengthening the governance of football and its individual clubs.

  • Bootham Crescent: a Second Home – Order Information for Part Two
    Bootham Crescent: A Second Home – Order Information for Part Two Part two of Bootham Crescent: A Second Home will be published shortly, and covers the period 1960 – 1993, culminating in York City’s play-off success at Wembley on that famous day in May 1993. It is hardback production of around 270 A4 pages covering three remarkable decades in the development of the ground and the performances of the team. It was the period where wider events began to shape the ground, leading to more seats, less terracing, the disappearance of most of the white picket fencing, and the appearance of the hospitality boxes. Sadly, it was the tragic death of David Longhurst which resulted in the biggest change to Bootham Crescent in that era. The ground also hosted rugby league for the first time, and featured American football and a rock n’ roll concert, but football always took centre stage. York City FC, as ever, had its share of ups and downs, with five promotions, five relegations, a first taste of Second Division football, and more stirring FA Cup deeds. Please watch out for updates about the publication date via Facebook, Twitter and through the ‘Arthur Bottom’ newsletter, but I am optimistic it will be available in June. I am grateful for your support of a project that has been over five years in the researching and writing, and those who pre-order before Sunday 9 May will have their name added to the subscriber list within the book. I will use your full name in the listing, unless you provide an alternate wording which I will endeavour to fit onto one line.

  • Annex 8: Potential for a Community Stadium, Wider Stakeholder and Community Opportunities – Full Analysis
    Annex 8: Potential for a Community Stadium, Wider Stakeholder and Community Opportunities – full analysis Professional Sport and the Core Stadium 1. The city's sports teams play an important role in York and their development and betterment is important to its sporting culture. The teams have an important emotional attachment for many residents and this can contribute to the feeling of civic pride and identity. 2. The council’s involvement with the city’s key sports clubs is already well established. As elsewhere in the UK council’s have acted in an attempt to support their professional sports teams, in times of need. 3. When YCFC faced the threat of closure the council took reasonable steps to assist. This came in the commitment to build a community stadium, which is now a corporate priority. 4. The reason for council involvement is clear. There is a direct link with the city’s economy and grass roots participation. Strong local role models who compete at a high level have a direct influence and impact on the community, in particular young people. A whole host of issues relating to promoting good health, fitness, well being, reducing anti-social behaviour and crime are associated with this involvement. 5. The current facilities and conditions at both Bootham Crescent and Huntington Stadium are not fit for purpose. They both require significant levels of financial investment to bring them up to current standards. Compared to modern recently-developed stadia provided in towns within an hour of York (i.e. Doncaster, Middlesbrough, Huddersfield, Darlington and Hull), York fails to provide its football and rugby league club customers with such an attractive proposition.

Cover design by Bob Budd. DEDICATION In loving memory of Arthur Woodcock (1919-2001), a family friend and former player with Nelson FC, who kindly took me, when a schoolboy, to Seedhill to watch him play in season 1946-47. Printed and bound by 4Edge, Hockley, Essex www.4edge.co.uk ISBN: 978-1-905891-29-0 AUTHOR’S PREFACE My earliest memories of football include a visit to Seedhill in season 1946-47. I was just twelve years old at the time, and staying during school holidays with my grandparents at nearby Colne. Sadly, Nelson’s opponents – whose name eludes me but who played in white shirts and dark shorts – managed to frustrate the best efforts of Nelson’s fair-haired inside-forward, Arthur Woodcock, as I looked on from behind the goals, hoping for a successful strike from my much admired ‘Uncle Arthur’.
