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.

    Post 2PL Match Week 1 The Match: Tottenham Hotspur vs Everton FC Stadium: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium Referee: Martin Atkinson History: 68W-56D-55L in favor of Tottenham The Guests: Oh Everton. What can I say? A club just a stone’s throw away and just on the other side of town from the current PL champions and perennial powerhouse LFC. Generally hovering right around 7th place in the table when all is set and done and the oft winners of the annual “Everton Cup”. Much traveled manager Carlo Ancellotti is currently at the helm for his first full season as The Toffees aim for their first TOP5 finish and possible European soccer for the first time since 2009. I am a big fan of the James Rodriguez signing, especially on a free. His eventual landing in the PL was never in doubt and he has finally made it. A top shelf offensive playmaker behind Richarlison is exactly what this team needed. With the youth of Moise Kean, Dominic Calvert-Lewin who came on strong during the 2019-2020 campaign, Alex Iwobi and Mason Holgate in addition to the class of Gylfi Sigurdson, Andre Gomes, Fabian Delph and Theo Walcott chef Ancellotti has some nice ingredients to cook with. I can easily see them once again in contention for the “Everton Cup”, which would be a nice improvement from last year’s campaign when The Toffees finished 12th. The race for the TOP5 in the PL this upcoming season could be one for the ages, so I say no shame in finishing 7th.
