History of the York City v Wrexham fixture

Wrexham travel to take on York City at Bootham Crecent on Thursday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Dragons will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 26 and win only 8 of the 48 games.

The last time the two teams met at York City was back in October 2002, over five years ago, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a League Division Three match.
