PREVIEW | Minstermen travel to Scunthorpe United aiming to go five unbeaten
The Minstermen are back on the road this weekend when they travel down to Lincolnshire to take on bottom-of-the-league Scunthorpe United.
John Askey’s side came from behind on Tuesday evening to secure a 2-1 win against Bromley, which saw the club move up into seventh and into the National League playoff places.
The win also extended the club’s current unbeaten run to four games and Askey’s side will be hoping to extend that run further on Saturday against The Iron in a Vanarama National League match.
Scunthorpe come into this game off the back of a 2-2 draw against Altrincham on Tuesday evening, which ended a run of six straight defeats in the National League. They also haven’t won since the opening day of the season when they secured a 2-1 win over Yeovil at home.
Here’s the key information ahead for our trip to Glanford Park for a 3pm Saturday afternoon kick-off:

Scunthorpe Railway Station is over two miles away from Glanford Park. Taxi is probably the easiest way to reach the Stadium.
However, if you have time on your hands and feel like walking it, turn left out of the station and head towards the crossroads (facing a church) and turn right into Oswald Road, going past a set of traffic lights and the Honest Lawyer and Blue Bell pub.
At the next traffic lights turn left into Doncaster Road, go straight down this road and you will eventually reach the Sands Venue Stadium on your left.
If you’re travelling by car, then the ground is on the outskirts of Scunthorpe, making it easy to find from the motorway.
Leave the M180 at Junction 3 and take the M181 for Scunthorpe. At the end of this motorway, you will see the ground on your right. Turn right at the first roundabout onto the A18 and right again into the large car park at the ground, which costs £3.
The car park holds 600 cars and is for both home and away fans.
