Bristol Rvs face a trip to York City at Bootham Crecent on Saturday evening, hoping to improve upon an average previous return from this fixture. It couldn't be much closer,Pirates having 6 wins against 7 losses.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in October 2002, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in a League Division Three match.
