    I'll be honest, I thought it already was a city!

    The meetings in the city caravan will be interesting, the city elders discussing profound matters whilst stripping gearboxes.

    Just as well Milton Keynes didn't get to the championship, their fans would have been unbearable!

    I think it’s the fourth time they’ve applied in my lifetime.

    Personally I don’t get it? Can’t see what difference it makes to anything.

    it’s a decent size town with quite an extensive borough with brilliant transport links (why I moved back here), city status doesn’t mean more people live here, or the shops are better.

    Reminded me of a conversation I had with Donny supporting work colleagues quite a few years ago. At that time they already had the satisfaction of beating us regular on the pitch, but one of them came out with ‘wait until we’re a City, you can get ready then’ to which I replied
    ‘what difference will that make in both football terms and everyday life? ‘You’re just jealous’ came the reply. I then pointed out that BMBC had supported their bid for City status, and That I really didn’t know what difference it would make to them, and neither could I see it being detrimental to us. Strange lot those Donny fans were. Really had a chip on their shoulder when it came to us

    I don't see the point in it. Be proud of being a town. As you say there will be no towns left.

    I think Selby should be a City too because it has as Minster as does Beverley.

    Donny Minster was St George’s church for most of my life.

    it didn’t ought to make a difference.

    It deserves it for its Council’s Twitter account alone. I don’t live there and never have but I’m a follower.

    I think being a city gets you access to different (new) money streams and also it just looks better when advertising tourism (I know, I know) and business - move to the city or move to the town? It makes a lot of sense. Also, for example, Chelmsford in Essex was made a city back in 2012 and its roughly the same size as Doncaster. So it should really be a city as well imho.
