The LNER Community Stadium plays host to our first league game of the season as we host Sutton United this Saturday. (3pm kick-off).

City rounded off pre-season with a win over Spennymoor Town last weekend, with a Trialist scoring the game’s only goal.

Sutton United proved to be a difficult test for the Minstermen last season, with York only managing a draw away, as well as tasting defeat at home to United.

MATCH SPONSORS

Craig Atkin and Family will be our match sponsor on Saturday.

Fortus are our match ball sponsor for the game.

We hope all those associated with Craig Atkin, family & Fortus have a fantastic day with us at the LNER Community Stadium.
