A Matchday Message to Supporters

Tonight’s play-off clash with Oldham Athletic is a huge occasion for everyone connected with York City Football Club. It’s a chance for our team to make a mark on the pitch—and for us, as fans, to play our part as the 12th man.

There’s no doubt that the eyes of many are on this fixture, including safety officers and the police. As your Supporters Trust, we’ve worked hard in conversations with these bodies to represent the interests of York City fans and ensure the focus tonight stays on football.

We’re asking for your help in making sure that happens.

Get behind the team. Make some noise and roar the team on. Be loud, proud, and passionate. But please also respect the ground regulations and stewarding staff. Let’s show the kind of support that lifts the players but leaves no room for doubt about our ability to back our team responsibly.

Whatever the result, we ask all supporters to remain in the stands and not enter the pitch. This is vital—not just for safety, but for protecting the club and the Trust’s reputation moving forward.

What happens in the stands tonight matters. Let’s prove that our support is worthy of the EFL, and that our Trust’s advocacy can be relied on—now and in the future.

Keep the faith.
