YORK CITY SOUTH |
We are meet at Old Doctor Butler's Head, 2, Masons Avenue, London, EC2V 5BT (in the upstairs function room). The pub telephone number is 020 7606 3504. Masons Avenue is a small side street off Coleman Street. There's plenty of Shepherd Neame and Spitfire etc. available. If that's not enough, they've got Sky Sports and Setanta on their big screen. The 2nd Thursday of the month is the usual date, but we can be flexible to accommodate guest speakers or City's live appearances on TV. From Bank or St Pauls (Central Line). Exiting either station, walk towards the Guildhall (signposted). Masons Avenue is to the east of the Guildhall in a little alleyway on the left off Coleman Street. From Moorgate (Hammersmith, Circle, Met, Northern). On exit, head towards London Wall. If walking down Moorgate, turn right into London Wall and almost immediately left into Coleman Street. If on the little back street, cross London Wall and Coleman Street is in front of you. Continue down Coleman Street and right into Masons Avenue. With Setanta's coverage, we'll be more flexible than usual going forward. Doubly flexible as The Old Doctor's Head is not open weekends and bank holidays. We've had several trips to our alternative "Hole in the Wall" venue, 5 Mepham Street, London, SE1 8SQ (phone 0207 928 6196) for City games live on TV. They've got excellent beer but probably no food. Its under the arches, right outside Waterloo mainline station. Our social evenings are a lively mix of branch matters, City chit chat, City DVDs and videos, travel arrangements and meeting places for upcoming home and away games, a fun quiz and much more besides. They are a great chance to share and discuss City news. Throw in a few guest speakers and we've got a packed schedule. Our previous speakers have included Douglas Craig, Jon Champion, Dean Kiely, Steve Beck and Josh Easby. We're a potent mix of once a year supporters to season ticket holders, Yorkshire diehards to Cockney Reds and media whizz kids to pinstripe international jet setting accountants, Anne Robinson's best mate (not the horse!), various chums of Steve McClaren from his schooldays and government and FO officals. You're bound to fit in somewhere with that lot. We usually have a special Christmas meeting in December and the YCFC Quiz in the spring. Kick off is 7:45, although we’ll be warming up from around 7 o’clock. The more formal bit is usually over by 9:30, but rest assured we put the world (or at least City) to rights until closing time. Forthcoming meeting dates and away days include:
|
Next Meeting: August 2008 - Back after some hard pre season training. |
|
Onwards - 2nd Thursday of every month during the season. |
There’s an open invitation to the manager and his merry men to come along to a meeting, but obviously being a Thursday evening in London makes it difficult for anyone from York to get down and back, like the club, our finances don't stretch to the extravagance of overnight trips if they can be avoided.
Our socials are so legendary that one even made it onto Sky Sports!
