From Guiseley to Glory: Ten years of non-league (Part Two)

The Crux of It panel return for part two of their look back on ten years in non-league football. The second instalment sees them reflect on the transition from Bootham Crescent to the LNER Community Stadium.

A rollercoaster first season saw the team promoted from National League North. Sadly, celebrations were short-lived, as the return to the National League was overseen by new ‘cheeky’ chairman Glen Henderson, who sacked popular manager John Askey and replaced him with David Webb.

Mikey Morton would eventually come in and save the club from relegation before the Uggla family replaced Henderson as the club’s owners and began to turn around the club’s fortunes.

Things were not easy along the way. A humbling 6-1 defeat at Altrincham would ultimately become a turning point from which York City would not look back.

The podcast ends by bringing listeners up to date with the epic previous season, which ended in championship glory and promotion back to the Football League after a decade away, culminating in the legendary Rochdale game.
