Halifax Town (as was)

Remember them?

Well........

"FC Halifax Town have won promotion to the Conference five years after their predecessors, Halifax Town AFC, were liquidated.

The Shaymen beat Brackley Town 1-0 in the Blue Square Bet North play-off final to reach the top tier of non-league football."


Good on them. Liquidation does not necessarily mean the end.

Halifax is a lovely place - the in-laws live just up the road from Halifax. Within a 30 minute drive you've got Bradford, Huddersfield and Leeds so they do well to get fans through the turnstiles - plus Halifax is rugby league country.

how big is their stand ?

Halifax and Newport have had a great season and good for them too. It just goes to show that if a club fails and is cast aside in to non-league wilderness,there are those willing enough to revive it and to guide it back again..
