The Main Stand Function Room Bar will serve hot food together with alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks before, during and after the match. We ask that fans purchasing alcohol in the Main Stand Bar during the game do not congregate at the back of the Main Stand, but instead find a position in the seats or terraces.

York City were a League club between 1929 and 2004 and 2012 to 2016. In 1974-75 they competed with Manchester United in Division 2, holding a place of 5th in October. They lost 1-2 to the Reds at Old Trafford in March 1975 to goals from Stuart Pearson and Lou Macari watched by 46,802. In September 1995 they won 3-0 in Manchester against United, this time in the League Cup 2nd Round First Leg, eventually winning 4-3 on aggregate.
Former FCUM keeper Nick Culkin joined United from the Minstermen for £100,000 in September 1995 whilst still a York City youth player. Culkin made 1 competitive appearance for United and 3 for FCUM.
Midfielder Theo Wharton has won 3 international caps for St Kitts & Nevis.
FCUM still need 2 points to be guaranteed safety.
