York City have opened their new York Community Stadium, 18 months after originally planned.
The new stadium has been beset with delays, but finally opened its doors with a 3-1 defeat to high flyers Fylde, who were 2nd in the National League North until the season was voided.
The York Community Stadium replaces Bootham Crescent, which served as the club's home since 1932. The new 8,000 seater stadium is built close to Monks Cross shopping centre to the north west of the city, and will also host the York City Knights rugby league team.
The new stadium cost a total of £45m to build.
