Back home this weekend, York City return to the LNER Community Stadium this Saturday as they host Dagenham & Redbridge (3pm kick off).

The Minstermen had a mix of emotions last week with victory over Oldham Athletic in midweek before defeat away to Boston United just four days later.

City sit six points behind league leaders Barnet but with two games in hand over the Bees, with those games set to come against Maidenhead and Rochdale away.

Our opponents Dagenham are currently placed in 16th in the National League, 7 points from the drop zone but 10 points adrift off the play-offs.

The last time these two sides met was back in August when City ran out victorious in Essex, winning 2-0 on the road.

FOUNDATION FAN ZONE STAGE – SPONSORED BY JORVIK RADIO

Vagabond came together in 2023, when three 15-year-olds, decided to start something loud and different.

What began as jam sessions quickly turned into a band with a mission: to bring back the raw, unfiltered sound of punk rock. With influences ranging from classic punk legends to modern indie sounds, they have spent hours crafting original songs. They have played at places such as the York Vaults, The Fulford Arms and The Crescent and it gives them great pleasure to be asked to play The York Fan Zone again today.

After an amazing summer of busking festivals and gigs, Vagabond are working hard on new original songs to make their mark on the local music scene. This is just the beginning…
