History of the York City v Barrow fixture

Barrow face a trip to York City at Bootham Crescent on Tuesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Bluebirds will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in April 2010, with York City running out comfortable 3 - 0 winners in a (Conference) Premier match.
