Bradford PA Back York For Promotion

Bradford Park Avenue have written to the FA to ask that York City are promoted from the National North after it emerged that only Kings Lynn may go up.

"It is fundamentally unfair that the National League are suggesting York can’t get promoted," said Bradford PA director of football Martin Knight.

"We would like to see that in there (in the amendment), if something like this were to happen again.

"For Avenue, we wouldn’t get relegated either way. For us to take that moral position, it has financial implications, because York is our biggest gate of the season.

"If they get promoted we lose that game. You have got to separate your own interests with what is morally right in very unusual circumstances.

"From a moral point of view, we think what has been offered to us is incorrect and unreasonable. If they don’t make an amendment, we won't support the proposal.

"Also, how can you have a democratic system when my vote is worth a sixth of someone in the National League? We are all members of it.

"We are being asked to vote on a resolution which is unfair and we don’t have a voice to air that.

"The National League are protecting their opinions and not those of the National League North or South, I think that is sad. The wrong here is York not getting promoted."
