Rushden & Diamonds’ appeal against their relegation means that York City will have to wait just a little longer to find out their opening day opponents.

The fixtures for the new Blue Square Bet Premier season were due for release on Tuesday, but Diamonds’ contesting of their recent demotion means there will now be a delay of at least twenty-four hours.

A statement released by the Conference read:
“Due to the impending appeal by Rushden & Diamonds FC to the Football Association in respect of their expulsion from membership, scheduled for hearing on Tuesday (5th July), it is sensible and practical under these circumstances, to delay the release of the 2011/12 fixture list for all three Blue Square Bet divisions, until at least 10am on Wednesday 6th July.”

The Minstermen open their pre-season schedule at Tadcaster Albion on Friday evening.
