An event to celebrate York City FC's promotion to the English Football League will be held on Wednesday at the LNER Community Stadium, the club has confirmed.
On Saturday, the Minstermen sealed promotion back to the Football League with a 1-1 draw at title rivals Rochdale with a last-gasp goal, ending a 10-year exile.
York City's announcement came after both City of York Council and North Yorkshire Police rejected proposals for a celebratory bus parade due to time constraints around preparation.
A petition calling for the council and the police to reverse their decision, saying that York City had achieved "something extraordinary", has already attracted over 2,000 signatures.
The petition's organisers said other clubs across the country worked with councils and local police forces to do similar "every single season".

The party on Wednesday at the Community Stadium would get under way at 19:30 BST and would include a trophy lift, fireworks and a quiz, York City confirmed.
A club spokesperson said: "Following lengthy discussions with both the council and police, it has been made clear that a bus parade around the city centre would not be a possible option to celebrate our National League triumph.
The celebration event is scheduled for Wednesday at the LNER Community Stadium.
