Abuse Won't Deter Lindsey if Fans Back Players
York City manager Scott Lindsey has stated that he can live with abuse from fans as long as they get behind the players. The Minstermen's first Football League game in a decade is set to take place on Saturday against Bristol Rovers, with a sold-out crowd of around 8,500 expected.
Why it Matters for York
The team's performance in the preliminary round of the League Cup against Crawley Town was marred by fan unrest, with chants of support for sacked manager Stuart Maynard and disdain for Lindsey. However, Lindsey remains unfazed, insisting that he is not bothered by the abuse as long as it doesn't affect his players.
What Comes Next?
York City faces a challenging season ahead, with a spate of injuries threatening to derail their promotion bid. Lindsey has expressed his concerns about the team's injury list, which includes Jack Hunt, Frank Maguire, and Hiram Boateng. Despite these challenges, Lindsey remains optimistic about the team's chances, citing the importance of a positive atmosphere at home games.
Lindsey's Message to Fans
Lindsey has urged fans to get behind the players, stating that a positive atmosphere is crucial for the team's success. He has also acknowledged the fans' right to express their opinions, but has emphasized the need for them to support the team in their bid for promotion.
