Can he bring us back up? Gary Mills to stay on as York City manager

Gary Mills will stay as York City manager next season.

It means he will get a shot at bringing the club straight back up after they were relegated to National League North on Saturday.

Jason McGill said in a statement on Monday that he wanted Mills to remain, albeit on terms “commensurate with the status of a club playing in the National League North”.

Two days later Mills requested that the contract was sent to his advisors, the League Managers’ Association (LMA).

Today (Friday) the club issued this statement:

Many supporters welcomed the appointment

Now let's get out of that bloody league!!! (The right way?) #garymills #ycfc

Ticket prices cut

The news comes after the club revealed tickets will be reduced next season.

It said the average discount of 30% was “to reward the loyalty of our supporters and especially to encourage our young fans to continue their support”.

Whilst the biggest discount is for the younger generation, there are also discounts of around 20% for adult tickets.

And a season ticket for an adult in the David Longhurst Stand has been discounted to £199 if you buy early.

The club said: “The board has taken the decision to offer these discounted prices as a reward to loyal fans, whilst maintaining full-time playing staff and infrastructure and a competitive playing budget.”
