City raise the curtain on their 2019/20 pre-season campaign at Guiseley this afternoon - and we have compiled a helpful away day guide ahead of the 3.00pm friendly.
STADIUM ADDRESS
Nethermoor Park
Otley Road
Guiseley

ABOUT THE GROUND
Nethermoor Park has been the Lions’ home since their establishment and has a capacity of 4,000 spectators.
This came after a £250,000 redevelopment in 2016, to comply with grading requirements following their promotion to the National League.
The all-seater main stand houses 500 people with sheltered standing terraces covering the remaining three corners of the ground.
Opposite the main stand are the ticket office, clubhouse, club shop and 1909 Lounge, with turnstiles located in three corners of the stadium.
Adjacent to gates 3 and 4 is the spectator first aid room, as are toilets which can also be found adjacent to gates 5-8, as well as inside the clubhouse.
Supporters who have bought tickets in advance will have the option to reserve a seat. Otherwise, City fans will be admitted in the standing terraces on an unreserved basis.
TICKETS
City supporters will be able to pay on the gate for this weekend’s game.
Admission prices are as follows:
Adults - £10
