YORK City will stage a Reds v Blues match between their own players at KitKat Crescent on Saturday (3pm).

Fans will also be invited to meet the team, who will be on hand to sign autographs and have their picture taken.

Admission will be £3 for adults and £1 for concessions.

City manager Billy McEwan said: "It will be a chance for fans to get close to the players and we will also have a match between our probable team for the first match against Crawley and our possible one so there will be a bit of a competitive edge about it."

City start their Nationwide Conference campaign against Crawley on Saturday, August 13.

McEwan also added that tomorrow night's trip to Selby Town could be in doubt with several squad players currently carrying injuries.

If the game at Flaxley Road, which is due to kick-off at 7.30pm, is called off it will be played at a later date.
