York City's decline through the Football League divisions in the late 1970s was also reflected in the quality of the club's match programmes for home games. From the dizzy heights (and full cover publications) of the Second Division in 1975, the club was facing re-election (again) at the foot of Division Four as the 1980s unfolded. This match programme - a mere eight pages - was published for City's game against mid-table Northampton Town, a fixture that drew only 1,167 spectators - the smallest crowd at Bootham Crescent for a league match since the ground opened in 1932. York lost the match 2-1 but were re-elected to the league. www.tooab.com
