Maidstone United v York City to be shown live on BT Sport on opening day of National League season

Maidstone's National League opener against York City has been chosen for live TV.

BT Sport cameras will be at the Gallagher Stadium for a 12.15pm kick-off on Saturday, August 6, earning United £6,000 in TV cash.

There's big interest in the fixture as two former Football League clubs go head to head in the first National League game to be played on 3G.

The sides were separated by two divisions last year, former Celtic star Jackie McNamara unable to save the Minstermen from League 2 relegation, while Jay Saunders led United to National South play-off glory.

The clubs met on the opening day of the 1990-91 season in the old Division 4, United winning 1-0 at Bootham Crescent.
