Meanwhile as reported last week by Minster FM..
It will soon be 'standing only' at Tadcaster Albion after the club decided to sell its grandstand seats in a bid for survival.
100 seats are up for sale, which the club hopes to sell as a 'job lot'.

Last week Tadcaster Albion said the club's future was in doubt, after a series of flooding events, going back several years.
In recent weeks, Storm Ciara caused damage estimated at £40,000 - and that was before the club ground and pitch was flooded again by Storm Dennis.
As a result Albion is trying to raise funds, and have are appealing for donations on the Help Save Tadcaster Albion Just Giving website appeal.
