Match Preview | Minstermen to travel to Altrincham for late Saturday kick off
The Minstermen play the last of three consecutive away games when we journey to the North West to face Altrincham FC in the Vanarama National League at the J. Davidson Stadium.
In a 5:20pm Saturday kick-off due to the selection of the match for live broadcast on BT Sport 1, City will aim to go one better than Tuesday night where we took a good point on the road against play-off challengers Boreham Wood.
We last met the Robins in 2020 in the National League North play-off semi-final, a campaign that would end in Alty’s promotion to National League North.
Now due to meet for the first time in non-league top step since 2011, we face an Altrincham side that have been defeated in their last three Vanarama National League matches without scoring. Their last outing was a 2-0 home defeat against Barnet on Tuesday night.
Here’s the key information ahead of Saturday’s late kick-off:
