Recent History
 
York City Football Club is a professional football club at the heart of the community.

In January 2002, with the help of Supporters Direct, the York City Supporters Trust - an Industrial and Provident Society - was formed in record time. The Trust's membership grew rapidly, making it one of the most successful trusts in the Country.

Having battled a myriad of issues, on 28th March 2003 the Trust completed it's rescue package and the Trust's new company, York City Football Club Limited, acquired the football business.

As part of the Trust's rescue package over £500,000 of new funding was raised by the supporters securing the survival of the club.

However, the lease for the use of the Club's home, Bootham Crescent was due to expire in May 2004 meaning a new battle was to commence.

After months of detailed negotiations, York City Football Club successfully obtained a £2 million loan from the Football Stadia Improvement Fund and completed a deal to acquire Bootham Crescent from the Club's previous directors. This acquisition has ensured the long term survival of the Club, with Bootham Crescent back in the safe hands of the supporters.

In early 2005 the Football Club offered the naming rights to their ground to York's biggest employer, Nestle. York City's Bootham Crescent home has now been renamed Kit Kat Crescent.

The Club is now progressing with plans to move to a new stadium by 2015.

In June 2006, after a ballot of Supporters Trust members, supporters voted 78% in favour of a change in the ownership structure of York City Football Club.

Today, York City Football Club is owned 75% by local company, J M Packaging Ltd and 25% by the York City Supporters Trust.
