Sky drop York game

Sky Sports have dropped Hereford United's away game at York because of a clash in schedules according to Confguide.

The game will now be played on Saturday August 21st as originally announced with a 3pm start, not the following Monday.

It is understood that Sky have told York that they will show a game from Bootham Crescent later in the season ensuring that the club obtains a £5,000 fee for covering a match.

The York website has reported that the match could have been played on Thursday, August 26th, but both teams would have had insufficient time to prepare for their next games the following Saturday.

Communications director Sophie McGill said: "It's disappointing Sky Sports have made this scheduling error.

"Looking at the positives, we believe we can expect a greater away attendance from Hereford."
