Newcastle United have added another pre-season date to their summer fixture list by announcing they will face York City at Bootham Crescent next month.

The Magpies, though, have only agreed to send an XI to face the National League club with a first team fixture also planned on the same weekend.

United will send a team to York on Saturday 30 July 2016 for a 3pm kick off but there is also talk that Vitesse Arnhem will visit St James’ Park that weekend.

So far the Magpies have staggered announcements of friendly games with both the clash with the Dutch side and a friendly with Sporting Lokeren in Belgium yet to be confirmed.

Newcastle suffered an embarrassing defeat against York last summer when the then League Two club triumphed 2-1 with a team that featured trial players and squad players.

A York statement today read: “The fixture against the recently relegated Premier League club will kick off at 3.00pm.

“It will be the second consecutive pre-season that the Magpies have swooped into Bootham Crescent after the Minstermen recorded a 2-1 victory last July courtesy of strikes from Anthony Straker and Reece Thompson.

“Tickets for this game are priced at £12.00 adults and £6.00 concessions.”

The only other fixtures confirmed by Newcastle so far are a game in Ireland against Bohemian FC and a trip to Doncaster Rovers.
