4) Highest Average Home Crowd

Conversely, City's highest average league attendance was 10,409 in 1948/9 when football crowds soared following World War 2. 1955/6 (10,291) and 1954/5 (9,630) are the next best with all top 10 seasonal averages being recorded by 1975 when the average was 8,828 in our first Division 2 (now the Championship) season. They have been on a gradual decline ever since. Refer to Andy Naylor's full details of all City's matches and attendances.

5) Some Progressive Record Gate Receipts

Seasonal gate receipts topped £500,000 for the first time in 1998/9.

The last stated record receipts were for the 2002 Fulham FA Cup tie. Later numbers are based on projections from Andy Naylor, his logic would stand up to scrutiny.

YORK CITY Club Secretary Keith Usher revealed that the FA Cup fixture with Fulham, provided the club with it's highest ever gate receipts for one game.

The gross takings were around £73,000, beating the previous best of £64,000 when Manchester United were the visitors for the second leg of the second round Coca-Cola Cup victory in October 1995. It has to be remembered that out of this gross figure come various deductions, e.g. VAT, police / stewarding and any other match day costs. Only then is the figure split between the two clubs, with the FA also taking their cut. The York City Supporters' Trust also benefited significantly from this money, with Fulham chairman and owner Mohamed Al Fayed offering the Premiership sides' share of the money back to the Trust. Some reports had suggested this may be as much as £50,000, but clearly the figure will be someway short of that mark.

Since 1983, the home side keeps all the money from league games. As ever, for cup and play off games, each club takes (after various deductible expenses) a share of the gate and a proportion also goes into a central pot for re-distribution.

The amounts shown to 2002 are for gross match day takings. They do not include any allowance for income from season ticket attendance at league games. Later figures are assumptions based on gate and season ticket numbers.

It is believed publicly stated receipts are "gate" receipts (i.e. specific match (pre-sale and on the day) ticket sales), other later calculations may be based on gate and season tickets. Consequently, cup games will generate a alrger income gven the "all pay" ethos.

The above might suggest the Hull game (December 2003) garnered all time gate record receipts for Bootham Crescent.

It is thought that the May 2022 Boston play off final may have generated about £110k in gate receipts.

In 1983, it was decreed that league match gate receipts could be kept by the home side (rather than being shared by the 2 clubs), thus the need for publicising gate receipts was diminished.

* At the time of the Fulham FA Cup tie in January 2002.

** For the Manchester United game (21/12/74), capacity was stated as 16,637,including St Olave's end (6,000) and Shipton Street end (6,100). Both ends having rcently been reduced by 500 due to safety concerns. In the entire FL, only Hereford and Cambridge had lower ground capacities.

7) Total Games Played At Bootham Crecent

York City moved to Bootham Crescent for the start of the 1932/3 season. The table below shows the total number of games City have played at Bootham Crescent since then and up to and including the final game against Guiseley (30th December 2020).

These numbers exclude:

  • Games abandoned
  • Friendlies
  • Games later voided due to the opposition failing to fulfil their full season's fixture list
  • War time football (the aborted 1939/40 FL season and the later unofficial seasons (league seasons (1939-46) and FA Cup seasons 1939-45)). Note, WW2 ended in 1945, there was insufficient time to arrange the resumption of league football for 1945/6 season but the 1945/6 FA Cup was considered an official competition and those games are included
  • Games later voided due to the season being later voided (e.g. the whole of the 2020/1 season).

On February 7, 1968, Bootham Crescent hosted an FA Cup Round 2 / 2nd Replay game between Midddlesbrough and Hull and in 2013, BC hosted 2 Conference league games (home games for Harrogate and Gateshead) when their pitches were suffering from poor drainage and waterlogging.

Bootham Crescent has also hosted a number of FA representative matches and schoolboy internationals.

In 1989, BC hosted a York RL game and since 2016 BC has been the regular home ground of York City Knights.

Note:

  • Results as at end of normal time / extra time, any game going to penalties is registered as a drawn game.
  • The 2020/1 play off game (Altrincham) played behind closed doors is included. This slightly reduces the overall average attendance.
  • The 2020/1 season games are excluded (P6 W4 D2 L0 F9 A3, Total (covid restricted) attendance 1,027 (capacity for the final 2 games (Spennymoor (400) and Guisely (627))).
  • 1933-8 Third Division North Cup games are not considered to be competitive fixtures.

For the record, prior to moving to Bootham Crescent in 1932, City’s home ground was Fulfordgate. It was our home for our first 7 non league (Midland League) seasons (1922-9) and our first 3 Football League seasons (1929-32). However, our first ever 2 home games (September 1922) were played at Mille Crux on Haxby Road (then Rowntrees', now Nestles', home ground) as Fulfordgate was not ready.

For the record, details of City's pre Bootham Crescent home games are as follows.

10) Home Crowds

Covering the Bootham Crescent years and beyond, the following table shows City's average home league attendance (and for reference those of the top flight and basement division, now known as the Premier League and Division 2) since 1958/9, the end of the regionalised Football League.

Additionally, in terms of Football League seasons, you have to go back to the 1985/6 season to see when City's average home gate exceeded that of our average away league crowd.
