York City game is off
Their trip to Darlington won't go ahead because of the weather.
Following a pitch inspection this morning at 11.30am (Tuesday 9th February), York City's trip to Darlington won't go ahead.
Steve Watson's side had hoped to play their first match in over a month, following postponements caused by Covid and weather conditions.
They're next scheduled match is now due to take play on Saturday 13th February, when they host Farsley Celtic at the LNER Community Stadium. If that game goes ahead, it'll be their first official fixture at the new ground.
Speaking ahead of today, boss Steve Watson says the National League need to clarify that the season will be completed: “It’s beyond frustrating for a team that just wants to crack on. It absolutely ludicrous to be speaking now in February and still harbouring hopes of fitting another 30 games in between now and May.
“We have got to prepare as if we are going to play and that’s the only way we can do it.”
Watson added: “Our situation is pretty clear and straight forward – we are raring to go and everyone at the club and everyone supporting the club wants the league to go ahead and see the season through.
“As a club all we can do on a daily basis, certainly management team and players, is to prepare for the next game.
“Something needs to be done quickly, in the next week to ten days. We need leadership from the very top to take it by the scruff of the neck and make a decision.”
