The sad thing is that the amount of debt that lower league clubs get into could so easily be paid off by the big foreign businessmen in the top flight and it wouldn't even scratch the surface of their bank balance. Such a shame if Halifax have indeed folded. I hope the supporters set up another local club for them to continue supporting.

I have never seen Halifax Play there apart from when we played there 1st game of season.
I do know lots of town fans and they are gutted and it looks like Unibond football next season,I live a stones throw away from ground and hear the crowds when they play from home and am gutted for them and what makes my blood boil is the Halifax Building society is 2 mins away and as britains largest mortgatge lender wont step in and help the team out.
RIP Halifax town football club was the 1st page headline on local paper.

Very sad news. Unfortunately I think it wont be too long before an actual league club suffer the same fate.
There you go companies like Halifax Building aren't interested in the little guys, only the greedy premier league clubs.

Only been to The Shay once, with a few mates, when they played Aldershot in a Division Four game. There was about 16 Shots fans there plus us five in the away end. What a dump the ground was, I understand it is much improved now with terracing behind each goal and the speedway track has been removed.
On the way back to London we got stuck behind the Aldershot supporters coach that had stop to exchange :box: with there Halifax counterparts.

There was a really nice little story in When Saturday Comes years ago, about the Speedway days at The Shay.
Because of the angle of the track, the corner spot/flag area was actually on a piece of duck board with turf laid on top that could be removed after the game for the speedway.
The author went on to say that great fun used to be had after it had been raining, as the turf would be loose on the boards, and many an unsuspecting visiting player went arse over tit taking a corner, he finished the article by saying something along the lines of "I have to laugh when people get all defensive about playing on plastic pitches, don't they know? 'Town used to play on wood!"
Heart goes out to their fans, I don't know how I'd cope if it was us, hope it never comes to pass.

Then.
Now.
Now looks like a substantial improvement on how it looked when we last visited in August 1998.

Yes, I remember it had at least one unfinished 'end'. Weren't we stuck down the side somewhere...memories not what is was I'm afraid.
But it didn't look like the 2008 picture.

When I went to that Aldershot game there was just a small sloping area behind one goal and at the other there was a small section of terracing with a grass bank on either side of it.

One end was finished, the other under construction. We were stuck down the side, as you say - but clearly both sides are new since then.

Halifax Town, who were in Blue Square Premier last season, are on the brink of liquidation, and have not been placed in the first four levels of the "Pyramid" - thus reprieving four teams from relegation - Altrincham (Blue Square Premier), Hucknall Town (Blue Square North), Boreham Wood (Ryman Premier Division) and Slough Town (BGB Southern League Division One South & West).
Two groups are trying to reform the Shaymen, which could result in Halifax being placed in Unibond Division One North next season (increasing that division from 20 to 21 clubs) - in a similar manner to AFC Telford United, who were placed at this level by the FA in 2004 after Telford United's demise.
However, they may still be forced to start at a lower level of the "Pyramid", as Scarborough Athletic did in 2007

Very sad to hear this.
I lived in Huddersfield for many years, and used to visit Halifax regularly. Went to at least half a dozen games at the Shay, including the one against Hereford that they had to win to stay in the league (around 1995 or so). They lost. I remember seeing plenty of people weeping at the end of that game. They must be feeling even worse than that now, poor buggers.
A real shame.

It's now been officially confirmed that Halifax Town will play in the Unibond Division 1 North this season. This means that the division will have 21 teams in it which is not ideal but better than having 18 teams in it like last season. It also means that we won't have to play some teams 3 times to make up the 42 game league season.

Six easy points for you Darren!
I seriously doubt that mate. In fact I am not at all optimstic for the coming season. We have a new manager (AGAIN) virtuallly all last season's players have gone (AGAIN), and the playing budget has been virtually halved from last season apparently. We finished 4th off the bottom last season and it was a bad league so I am not very optimistic to say the least.
