The Grays v York City match was called off 90 minutes before kick-off

The postponement of York City's game at Altrincham has left them with four away games to catch up on in the new year.

York lost the game at Grays to the weather before Christmas - and their FA Cup run caused the trips to Histon and Mansfield to be delayed.

Manager Martin Foyle told BBC Radio York: "The games we're catching up on are all midweek and away from home.

"All the travelling and the overnight stays and then you're late back, it does disrupt you."

Of the four games, the one at Altrincham should be the first to complete, having been rescheduled for Tuesday, 5 January.

Foyle added: "The only good thing about the Altrincham game being called off is that five players were on four bookings, so they'll all be scratched off and they'll be OK for the new year."

Five bookings before 31 December would have meant an automatic one-game suspension.

City are still involved in both the FA Trophy and the FA Cup, with a lucrative third round tie at Premier League Stoke coming up on 2 January.
