32. Jim Waterson & Bootham Crescent

The Ground Jewels

This week's guest is the journalist Jim Waterson.

Jim has nominated Bootham Crescent, the former home of York City FC as his ground jewel.

We discussed Jim's early years growing up in York, the famous cup victory over Fergie's Manchester United volunteering for the club, it's yo-yo existence in the 21st century and the closure of Bootham Crescent which coincided with the COVID-19 pandemic.

It's genuinely one of my favourite episodes.
