York City Supporters Trust is today asking life members to show their love for YCFC by renewing their vows.

As you will know YCST was formed back in 2002 when the greed of a few threatened the existence of York City. Over the intervening 20+ years the Trust has had to step in on multiple occasions in order to save the club. We’re sure you will agree that right now, both on and off the pitch York City FC is a club ‘on the up’.

This Valentine’s Day we’re asking long-standing life members to demonstrate their love for YCFC by renewing their vows by re-pledging a donation to the Trust to help fund club infrastructure projects.

Over the last 12 months the Trust Board have been actively working to enhance the bridge between supporters and club. It has also been engaged in supporting multiple initiatives on behalf of the supporters. These include:

  • Engaging with the National League authorities around the impact on match going fans of date and KO time changes for TV coverage purposes;
  • Working with Cleveland Police, North Yorkshire Police, Hartlepool United FC, and York City FC to identify and address issues which affected some YCFC fans following the match at Hartlepool last February;
  • Creation of a Local Business Directory to help small local businesses promote their product and/or service offerings to the entire YCFC supporter base;
  • Engaging with Local Authorities, National Bodies and Persimmon Homes PLC to ensure a lasting legacy of Bootham Crescent at the site of our former home;
  • Ongoing work with the Football Supporters Association ensuring that the voices of York City fans are heard loud and clear;
  • Raising funds for club infrastructure projects;
  • Launching the Monthly Trust Social at Brew York to give fans the chance to hear first-hand from YCFC management, players and ambassadors.

In addition, there is much valuable work that goes on in the background day to day in support of the football club, work which by its very nature must remain confidential.

To renew their vows we’re asking for a recommended one-off donation of £100, but we realise that this isn’t within everyone’s means. Renewing your vows is completely optional and there is no minimum donation. We hope you can contribute.


Alternatively you can sign up or a recurring  annual donation of £10.
