BBC Man Backs Stadium Bid
A man who will broadcast into millions of homes over the next month has backed the campaign to have a Community Stadium built in York.
Guy Mowbray, a staunch York City supporter, and the man who the BBC have chosen to commentate on the World Cup final on July 11, has publicly lent his support to the idea of a new ground.
“I fully support the campaign to get a Community Stadium for York built as soon as possible”, he said.
Mowbray, who still lives in the city, has a vast experience of visiting sports stadia, so is well placed to extol the virtues of such a project.
“All over the UK and Europe I have seen at first hand the beneficial effect a new stadium brings to a place – not just in a sporting sense but in terms of facilities that the whole community can use and find a strong sense of local pride in.
“Better for business, better for sport, better for concerts, better for tourism – better for every York citizen. York needs a stadium.”
The 38 year-old says he has the second best job in the world, as the best would have been wearing the No 9 shirt, in the red and blue of York City.
