YORK City will reportedly get less than half of the amount of financial support received by other clubs despite boasting one of the largest attendances across the entire Vanarama National League.

Clubs across the National League’s three divisions were given assurances by the government before the start of the season of financial aid following their decision not to allow fans into grounds amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The way in which the money would be distributed has yet to be officially revealed by the National League, however BBC Sport are reporting that York will receive £36,000 a month.

City, alongside Chester, Dulwich Hamlet, Hereford and Maidstone, are one of only five clubs in the National League North and National League South to get that amount, given the size of their attendances in comparison to the rest of their respective divisions.

Other clubs in Step Two will get £30,000 a month.

However, many City supporters will feel frustration given that clubs in the National League have been given substantially more, despite many averaging lower crowds than the Minstermen.

Seven clubs in the National League - Chesterfield, Hartlepool United, Notts County, Stockport County, Wrexham, Yeovil Town and Torquay United - have been handed £95,000 a month, with the latter of those sides having a lower average attendances than York’s 2,705 in 2019/20.

The other 16 National League clubs, all of whom average lower crowds than York based upon last season’s records, will receive £84,000 a month, over double the amount that City will be in line to receive.

The first payments of funds from the National Lottery is scheduled for next week.
