Have York City fans given up on promotion after back-to-back defeats?

Have York City’s wonderful supporters finally given up on promotion with still four games of their season remaining?

Successive defeats without even managing a single goal against neighbours Harrogate Town and Nuneaton Town suddenly leave their club appearing unlikely to make the end-of-season play-offs.

That means it’s now just one point from the last nine available heading towards the final couple of weeks of the campaign. It’s little surprise that the mood of the City faithful has turned increasingly dark …

As it stands, York are still seventh in the table – the final place of the, remember, newly-introduced extended play-off system – and a couple of points clear of Chorley, who though crucially now have two games in hand.

Meanwhile, Blyth Spartans are a further three points behind but would again overtake the Minstermen should they win their two outstanding fixtures.

However, those two clubs actually meet at Victory Park this weekend, with City simultaneously travelling to struggling Gainsborough Trinity.

Therefore somebody is going to lose ground – but as their rivals directly clash in Cheshire, do York have what it takes to take maximum advantage?

York City are an absolute joke of a club. Beaten week in, week out by part-time teams. None of our players, bar a few deserve to be called professional footballers or draw a wage for their work. Gray out. #YCFC

I wouldn't think twice in the past about traveling to Torquay or Weymouth to watch #ycfc now its a chore to motivate my self to watch them at home The club has serious bridges to build. It's not the club I fell in love with. At least the matchday music will be more modern though

This bunch of absolute wasters who are so called ballers are a disgrace to the #ycfc shirt, can't compete against part time players, manager is clueless doesn't know best team or formation will be lucky to finish top 10. Need a fresh start next season
