York frustrated by postponements

York City are working to clear their backlog of fixtures after Thursday's match at Weymouth was postponed because of a waterlogged pitch.

The match was also called off earlier this season because of snow.

Postponements because of the weather and City's cup commitments have left the club facing a hectic schedule.

Secretary Nick Bassett told BBC Radio York: "This fixture seems to be jinxed. It doesn't seem to matter what we do, we can't seem to get it played."

Bassett added: "I think that's one of the symptoms of the winter we've had and the fixture problems we and lots of other clubs have got at the moment.

"Unfortunately that's football and you have to grin and bear it."

York have found new dates for all their outstanding fixtures apart from the trips to Forest Green and Weymouth.

"It may be that in the end we have to go to the league and ask them to come up with a solution if club's can't agree between themselves," said Bassett.

"But we are working on it and doing our best to get them settled."
