The York Nomad Society or YNS are a supporters group and hooligan firm associated with York City Football Club who play in National League North. They are known for bringing medium level violence to Home and Away games and many members have been arrested over the years. BackgroundThe YNS was formed in 1981 as an alternative travel to away matches for City supporters. The coaches the YNS put on were cheaper and allowed breaks at pubs for drinking. Since the nineties however, the YNS has become a hooligan group as well as just a supporters group. In the Hooligans A-Z book, the YNS were described as being more akin to an Italian ultras group than a traditional English football 'firm', due to the fundraising carried out by the group. It was also claimed that, in one way or another, around 1,000 people have been 'members' of the YNS since its formation.{{citation needed|date=August 2009}} Former YNS member Terry Exelby was the first English fan to be arrested at the 1986 World Cup after drunkenly climbing into the luggage racks of a plane. When the plane landed in Texas he was arrested by the FBI.[1] FundraisingThe YNS are avid York City fans, and like other York supporters groups, they raise funds for the club.{{citation needed|date=October 2013}} Currently the group make a regular donation each season by way of paying the club to have an advertisement board on the halfway line in front of the Pop Stand.{{citation needed|date=October 2013}} Hooligan firmIn March 2002 two York City fans were arrested on suspicion of assault following clashes at an away match against Cheltenham Town.[2] In February 2003, seven people were arrested (four from Bury and three from York) following clashes at a home match against Bury. Between 30 and 40 fans clashed in York with missiles thrown and the police dog unit finally restoring order.[3] In October 2006 York fans clashed with Oxford United fans in Oxford when over 100 fans from both teams fought near the Blackbird pub.[4] The clash was described by the Oxford Times as being a pre-arranged conflict. Three York City fans were arrested after a window was broken at the Priory pub after the match.[5] References1. ^{{cite news|url=http://archive.yorkpress.co.uk/2006/6/22/346307.html|title=Sinister side to laughter|date=22 June 2006|publisher=The Press|accessdate=12 August 2009}} {{footy-stub}}2. ^{{cite news|url=http://archive.yorkpress.co.uk/2002/3/11/289601.html|title=Two arrested after City's match|date=11 March 2002|publisher=The Press|accessdate=12 August 2009}} 3. ^{{cite news|url=http://archive.yorkpress.co.uk/2003/2/24/272574.html|title=Seven arrested after rival fans clash again|date=24 February 2003|publisher=The Press|accessdate=12 August 2009}} 4. ^{{cite news|last=Simmonds|first=Ellie|url=http://www.thisisoxfordshire.co.uk/display.var.948967.0.hooligan_havoc_as_100_clash.php|title=Hooligan havoc as 100 clash|date=3 October 2006|publisher=The Oxford Mail|accessdate=12 August 2009}} 5. ^{{cite news|url=http://archive.oxfordmail.net/2006/10/2/107481.html |title=Police use batons to stop fighting fans |date=2 October 2006 |publisher=The Oxford Times |accessdate=12 August 2009 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070216050820/http://archive.oxfordmail.net/2006/10/2/107481.html |archivedate=16 February 2007 }} 2 : York City F.C.|British football hooligan firms |
