City take to the road once again on Tuesday, as they head across the Pennines for a crucial clash with Altrincham (12th March, 7,45pm kick-off).
Yet again, York City can throw themselves a huge lifeline with three points in midweek, but that involves taking down an Alty side that continues to push for a playoff spot as the season’s end nears.
We come into this one following a first point under manager Adam Hinshelwood, a goalless draw away at Kidderminster Harriers.
The Robins, on the other hand, have fallen off the tracks slightly in recent weeks, with six defeats from seven, including Saturday’s 1-0 loss to Woking.
