What do you get for the person who has everything? How about a York City turnstile!

Bits of Bootham Crescent will be auctioned off at the end of the season – part of a range of events to mark the end of the stadium that has been City’s home for 86 years.

The club has played at Bootham Crescent since 1932, but moves to the new Community Stadium at Monks Cross in summer 2019.

To give supporters every opportunity to celebrate the end of an era in style, there are special dinners, a City heroes game and a chance to play on the historic turf.

All the events planned so far are below. More details of all these events, including dates, times, and prices, will be released over the coming weeks.

And a club spokesman said: “There could also be more announcements.”
