ADAM HINSHELWOOD admitted that he feels no added pressure from York City’s match with Woking being televised - and hopes it will be an opportunity to showcase his Minstermen to the world.

York’s match with Woking was pushed back to a 5.30pm kick-off on Saturday, October 5 with DAZN choosing the match for enhanced production.

City will look to extend their unbeaten run to eight at the Laithwate Community Stadium and to avoid a first ever defeat to Woking, with Hinshelwood’s side also looking to protect their unbeaten record on the road this season.

Hinshelwood spoke to the Press on his opinion of tomorrow's opponents, and admitted that he felt no added pressure from being shown on TV.

“Like any away game, it’s a tough game on the road again,” Hinshelwood confessed.

“They’re quite expansive with their formation at times, they try to play and are a tough opposition.

“They’ve got some real good firepower in their team and score goals from a variety of different situations. It’s a tough game on the road, but it is one that we will look forward to.

“We’re in good form on the road, and that’s something that we want to maintain on Saturday.

“We pay respect to every opposition we come against, it’s a tough game and a tough place to go.

“I think that even looking at their game against Brighton under-21’s the other day, Brighton went 2-0 up and they edged back to get a 2-2 draw.

“They can attack at the right times and cause teams problems.

“We pay them respect but we like to focus on ourselves and what we can do, whilst at the same time look at the threats of our opponents.

“Woking will be no different, it’s a tough game on the road and one that we look forward to, but at the same time, we have got to be at our best.

“The only change is the kick-off time, which is put back a bit, so we will delay our preparations a little bit.

“The lads can get a bit longer in bed, but other than that, nothing else really changes.

“We’ll still travel and train before we get on the road, and prepare everything the same.

“Not too much changes, there’s going to be more cameras about more than normal.

“I was just speaking to Kai [Connell, media manager] and he was telling me that they wanted to put one in the changing room, stuff like that.

“That’s the only real sort of difference, but they’re not in your faces and you’d do well to see any change on the matchday.

“We look at it as a big game for us to showcase ourselves.”

The match will also see Hinshelwood and Woking manager Michael Doyle lock horns for the first time since last April, where York produced a fantastic display to earn a major three points in a 2-0 win that helped preserve City’s National League status.

The pair also shared the stage as players all the way back in 2004, as Brighton & Hove Albion took on Coventry City, which ended in a 1-1 draw thanks to a late strike from Brighton's Adam Virgo.

The boss laughed: “Not really [have any memories of the match], you’ve done well to dig out that statistic!

“He had a great career and is now trying to replicate that again as a manager, I know that a few of our staff him know him and his staff well.

“It’ll be nice to catch-up with them after the game and pick their brains on how they see the season has gone and try to learn.

“We’re looking forward to the challenge.”

Hinshelwood also issued a message to the travelling supporters, who will make the 446 mile round trip to show their backing to York for the late kick-off.

“Just continue what they’ve been doing in our last few away games really, they’ve been travelling in their numbers and we really appreciate the time and effort that it takes for them to support us.

“Just to come and be as loud as possible, it’s great for the TV cameras to see what a big club York City is and what kind of big following they can take at 5.30 on a Saturday evening.

“Enjoy the game, be nice and loud for us and safe travels back, because it’s going to be a late one back.”
