The Minstermen return to the LNER Community Stadium this coming Saturday afternoon when we welcome Maidenhead United in the Vanarama National League (3pm kick-off).
Two postponements in January saw just the one game played on home soil, but February sees a return to the LNER for City.
A reaction will be most sought after by manager Neal Ardley after defeat away to Hartlepool United brought an end to an eight-game unbeaten run.
Alan Devonshire’s Maidenhead United turned over play-off challenging Solihull Moors at York Road last weekend, pushing the Magpies to 14th in the Vanarama National League table.
A win for Neal Ardley’s side would see the Minstermen leapfrog Saturday afternoon’s opponents.
