MATCHDAY GUIDE: CITY v PLYMOUTH

29 February 2020

City return to Sky Bet League Two action at the Utilita Energy Stadium against Plymouth Argyle this afternoon. 

We have compiled a handy Matchday Guide - packed full of helpful information ahead of the fixture.

Firstly, we would like to extend a warm welcome to this afternoon's Big Match Sponsor, Electric Center and Matchball Sponsor, Packetts!

PYROTECHNICS & BEHAVIOUR

The club would like to remind supporters the possession or use of pyrotechnics inside a football ground is strictly prohibited.

Those found to be carrying or using pyrotechnics will face a long-term ban.

We would like to remind supporters it is a criminal offence to enter the pitch at any time.

Anyone who does so without permission can expect to face prosecution.

AWARE

This afternoon’s match is dedicated to the Airedale and Wharfedale Autism Resource (AWARE).

An official club charity partner for the 2019/20 season, AWARE is a parent-run group supporting families with children and young adults on the autistic spectrum (formal diagnosis not required).

They cover the Airedale, Wharfedale, Bradford and Craven areas and beyond.

Their headquarters can be found at 2 Royd House Way, Long Lee, Keighley, BD21 4TY.

Bucket collectors can be found around the Utilita Energy Stadium today and supporters are urged, where possible, to donate.

LEVEL PLAYING FIELD

Today's game is the Bantams' dedicated Level Playing Field fixture, designated to supporting the work of the charity.

WIN WITH 'SHIRT OFF MY BACK'

Our popular matchday competition will be back in place for today's clash, giving supporters the opportunity to walk away with a top prize of either the man of the match-worn shirt or £100 in cash!

Not only will you win this unique prize (second prize £100 in cash) but you will also meet the man of the match after the game who will sign the shirt and present it to you.

Tickets for this competition can be bought for just £1 from sellers located inside and around the outside of the ground. The winner will be announced at half-time.

OUR OPPONENTS

Plymouth are unbeaten in four matches and currently sit fourth in the Sky Bet League Two table - four points off top spot. 

The Home Park outfit will be hoping for an instant response after suffering relegation from Sky Bet League One, last season.
