Just a fact for you pal (and for those who know me, I am not biased in either direction but this cliche does my head in)

This season at the shay, each team played the top of the league in the last six weeks......

13th April Halifax v Leigh (RL) 2,282 att.

29th March Halifax v Luton 3,586 att.

Bandwaggon & so called fans..................

Either team doing well is brilliant for the town, it's a winner in my book. Hope to see all proud halifaxians tonight.

Come on the Shaymen!!!

Where was the fans for the Hyde game? Only 1037 could be bothered. Or Woking 1033 or Salisbury 1003. Thats why I say bandwagoners.
Why do people seem to think that they have the right to say to others, that they should be supporting their local team and if not its a poor do? I have no time for Soccer with its diving, softness and prima donnas. Its a sport thats overhyped and frankly as boring as hell. I couldnt care less about Halifax Town or any other club. I have little time for a number of fans that follow them that have been quite happy to cause problems for Fax at any given time. There are people who couldnt give a toss about Town/Fax. We dont need people going on guilt trips. If you want to follow both teams good. But a number of us dont and frankly couldnt give a toss if Halifax Town/Fax play in the Top League or in the local leagues.

Town 1 - 0 full time.

Re: halifax town : Wed Apr 30, 2014 9:18 pm  

Attendance: 3,668, tbh looked more then that from what ive seen on tv

Re: halifax town : Wed Apr 30, 2014 10:37 pm  

Agreed. I watched it on TV, and thought it looked like a 1000 more at least.

Tough game to win, and not pretty football, but it is playoff time. Well done to Town, and a real cool finish for the winning penalty!

Best of luck for Sunday.

Keep your hair on TLBC

Well done to Town last night, watched it on the TV and got to say it was an awful standard, never seen so much hit and hope football. I wish them all the best though, good luck on Sunday!

*"Why do people think that they have the right to say to others, that supporting their local team" - but other's have the right to say they shouldn't?

* No one has told you to support Halifax town and no one quite frankly cares if you dont.

* No one has asked you to like football, as it's the biggest game in the world, whether you like it or not.

* The "Other people who couldn't give a toss about town" have kept there opinions to they're self and not spent time going on the Halifax Town website to research the exact attendance to prove a point you made earlier, which was proved incorrect.

* No guilt trip intended, you have your own opinion and so do I, mate.

On a more positive note, last night was brilliant. 1-0 against a brilliant opposition. Not much beats a Shay when it's rocking, regardless of the event. Brilliant gate (3,500 ish) and a great atmosphere. STID!

Bring on Wembley!!

Re: halifax town : Sun May 04, 2014 8:19 pm  

Lost today hard luck I say, problem is for Town now Aspin to leave, he has been offered a full time contract at another club, and don't know who he is called but top goal scorer, is set to leave?
It's a funny old game.

Re: halifax town : Sun May 04, 2014 9:26 pm  

Lee Gregory, and he won't be with Town next season either. The hottest property in the conference, but he didn't have any real chances to do anything today. A real shame because Town went into the playoffs on form against a side that has struggled to maintain their own. Out-maneuvered tactically over the two legs... sounds familiar...!!!
