LNER Community Stadium
The brand new football and rugby league ground at the Vangarde Centre, York.
Following the plan to flatten the old ground, Bootham Crescent, for slum clearance and the aim of general improvement for the centre of York, both of the city's sporting clubs - York City FC (football) and York City Knights (rugby league) - have relocated to a swish new place in the 'burbs.
Great parking, fantastic choice of places to eat and drink, open spaces and close to the A64 (the main route to the city).
It is too good for the football fans that it will attract.
(The Northern Union crowd will, you feel, treat and appreciate it much better).
Unfortunately, in my attempt to avoid a stray lamp post blocking the club badges, I cut off the "L" from the LNER on the left.
LNER is the name given to the renationalised East Coast rail line.
Back in the day, LNER used to stand for the London and North Eastern Railway.
By missing the "L", this would make it the North Eastern Railway which, to be fair, actually used to exist as well.
....and no one wants to go to London anyway.
