How are fans feeling?

As expected, the last few weeks have brought a whole host of emotions to the fore for fans - a mixture of optimism, nerves and excitement.

After the Minstermen's last victory against Yeovil Town - followed shortly by Rochdale's win against Braintree - supporters were split into confident or cautious.

Several supporters spoke to Radio York's Richard Fox at the LNER Community Stadium following the win over Yeovil.

For Steve, securing promotion is "not a problem" for York.

"It's a job well done isn't it - same again next week, and a draw will do," he said.

Feeling more pragmatic, Ryan said he "still believes" they can grab the coveted three points this weekend.

"We've been playing well the last couple of games," he said.

"You can see there's some fatigue in the squad but they keep battling on."

"In sport, it's about a moment - next week is our moment," James added.
