Taken from the Courier after Saturdays FIRST home defeat for the Shaymen:-A Town supporter made his feelings clear to the Shay chief during the first-half when he approached the home dugout to remonstrate with Aspin.
The Halifax boss was unhappy with the incident and says it was unacceptable behaviour from a home supporter.
He said: “I’ve been in football since I was 16 and you have games as a player when you take lots of abuse - that’s part of the job.
“What’s not part of the job is when a game’s going on and have supporters coming within two feet of you abusing you.
“I’m not prepared to accept that - that’s out of order.
“I’m not immune to criticism. I think all managers get criticism - you accept that.
“But that’s going too far where myself and my staff are subjected to abuse from people who can come within two yards of you.
“But what do people expect? Do they expect us to come into this league, part-time, nowhere to train, loads of injuries, and be winning games comfortably?
“Let’s get realistic, we’re in for a fight, it is a struggle but we’ll respond, roll our sleeves up and the lads will give their best and that’s all you can ask for.”
Its numpties like this that are putting me off going down the Shay to watch Town this season plus after all the rubbish we had thrown at us over the possible sale of the Shay as well, you cannot defend this kind of behaviour towards a top bloke and manager like Neil Aspin, disgraceful. I do think this plus £17 to get in is making the crowds drop there was only just over a thousand on Saturday.
