The Minstermen are back on their travels this Tuesday 24th October when we travel to the SMH Group Stadium, home of Chesterfield, in the Vanarama National League (7.45pm kick off.) 

The fixture comes following City’s 3-1 defeat away at the weekend against Eastleigh at Silverlake Stadium.

Hosts Chesterfield currently sit top of the Vanarama National League on goal difference after 15 games played, with Paul Cook’s side registering 12 wins and two draws so far this campaign.

The Spireites have five different goal scorers all notching five so far this season, with Ryan Colclough, Will Grigg, Liam Mandeville, Tom Naylor and Joe Quigley sharing the goals amongst the side.

Please note that all fixtures between Monday 23 and Wednesday 25 October will see clubs observe a minute’s silence and wear black armbands following the death of Sir Bobby Charlton.
