PREVIEW: York City Vs Barnsley Match Previews Next up for the Reds this pre-season is a Tuesday night trip to York! Continue reading on the official site...
I’m not missing the chance of a last ever visit to Bootham Crescent. Distant memories of occasional visits there, though we rarely played them as we were mostly above them in the pyramid. It’s a shame that York have fallen so far and it will be good to see the ground one last time. I hope a few hundred Reds fans turn up. Looking forward to seeing The Beast playing against us as well. Just hope he doesn’t crock any of our star players
https://www.yorkcityfootballclub.co.uk/news/match-preview-barnsley-fc Short preview from the York official site. 36 years old and still getting 25 goals last season. Looking at the career he has had it's not hard to think that we let Jon Parkin go too soon.
On one episode of his podcast he mentioned he nearly re-signed for us when Robins was manager but the deal was scuppered by Preston at the last minute. Originally a fee of £500k had been agreed, only for Preston to then want more money which we wouldn’t agree on. Then 6 months later, the following January, he signed for Cardiff for a mere £100k. Says it’s his biggest regret in football not coming back to us.
Can’t say I ever seen him play against us so that will be a novelty tomorrow. Can’t see him getting much change out of our super defence though
