York City return to Vanarama National League action at home this Saturday with a 12.30pm kick off against Hartlepool United.

Don’t forget the kick off time change! We commence at the earlier time of 12.30pm following the switch in July. With over 7,250 tickets sold, it’s set to be electric at the LNER Community Stadium.

City return to action following last Saturday’s narrow 3-2 loss away to high-flying League One side Wycombe Wanderers in the Emirates FA Cup First Round.

Hartlepool have had a tough start to their second season in the National League, winning five in 16 games so far.

Lennie Lawrence remains current caretaker manager for Pools heading into the weekend.

DEDICATED REMEMBRANCE FIXTURE

York City will honour those who paid the ultimate sacrifice on Saturday. All supporters, staff and players in attendance are invited to come together to show support for the Armed Forces community.

Their style is a collective mixture of all their influences, which range from funk to metal to ska to punk and much more, however they state their style doesn’t completely fit into just one category.
