York City will have to wait a little longer to play their first match at the LNER Community Stadium.

The club have officially left Bootham Crescent, and they were due to play Gateshead on Tuesday (19th January) at the new ground.

However, a further period of self-isolation is needed for the players and staff because of Covid-19.

In a statement the club said: "We have received confirmation that Tuesday night’s game against Gateshead will be postponed due to the required self-isolation period of our squad.

"Our next scheduled fixture will be a trip to AFC Telford United on Saturday 23rd January.

"The first game at the LNER Community Stadium is scheduled for Saturday 30th January against Curzon Ashton.

"We wish all our staff, players and families well during this time."
