Early decision on York City's top-of-table game with Boreham Wood made
York City's first scheduled game of 2026 has been postponed due to a frozen pitch.
With the long journey for York supporters perhaps partly in mind, a Friday morning pitch inspection was taken at Boreham Wood, and Saturday's scheduled 3pm Conference game in Hertfordshire has been postponed.
No new date for the game has been set at this stage.
The game was due to pitch first versus second but York could drop as low as fifth in the table this weekend if other games go ahead as planned.
Third-placed Rochdale and fourth-placed Carlisle United are only behind the Minstermen on goal difference. York, like Boreham Wood, have played 24 games, Rochdale 22 and Carlisle 25.
Robbie Savage's Forest Green Rovers are two points behind York having played a game more. They are due to host Halifax Town.
Rochdale are due to host Brackley Town, and Wealdstone are due at Mark Hughes’ Carlisle.
At the time of writing, all those games were still on.
Only one team wins automatic promotion from the Conference, with six going into the play-offs.
York's first game of the new year is now due to be at Sutton United on January 10.
