The first game at the LNER Community Stadium will not be against York manager Steve Watson's former side Gateshead next Tuesday
YORK City will have to wait until the end of the month to christen the LNER Community Stadium after the Gateshead game has been called off.
A rearranged fixture itself, Gateshead's visit on Tuesday, January 19 was meant to be York's first game at the new stadium.
Games against Boston United and AFC Fylde have already fallen this week because of Covid-19 symptoms and cases with the York squad, and the required coronavirus self-isolation period has now been confirmed to extend over next Tuesday.
The Minstermen's first outing at the ground is slated for Saturday, January 30 against Curzon Ashton, while their first game out of isolation is scheduled for Saturday, January 23 at AFC Telford United.
