Most of you will remember Halifax Town for all the wrong reasons (beating us in the FA Cup for all you youngsters) but unfortunately at the end of last season they went out of business after surviving relegation from the Conference on the final day of the season.

Did I see you at Hereford U***d v Halifax Town in May 2006? Conference Play Off Final at Leicester's ground? Halifax were just minutes away from a return to the League and they end up bankrupt!
Really pleased for them. Ditto AFC Wimbledon holding their own in the Conference.

There were 3,152 there for the Lancaster home game and the average attendance for the season is 1,377. This gives them the second highest attendances on average for the whole of the Unibond leagues, behind you know who. The next highest in the Unibond North is 323.
Very impressive for 4 divisions below the football league

All good news, but where were all these people when Halifax needed them?

The attendances were 500 - 1000 above what they are now and the story is long and complicated, needless to say Calderdale Council and Halifax RLFC have a lot to answer for, along with the Halifax Bank who couldn't be bothered to help their own towns football club rather than other teams

I know there was a lot of shit behind the scenes which is always the case , but clubs with attendances like Halifax, Bury, Macc Town etc are the perfect argument for 2 regional leagues in place of div 1&2. Derby games, plenty of people at them some big clubs from time to time, and external influences would be minimal if the clubs could attract enough people through the gate - hell it would even be more popular on tv if it were local(ish) derby games

Reminds me of my local team when I was a lad, Aldershot, who have a very similar recent history, went broke in 92 cos of dodgy dealings by the directors, reformed as Aldershot Town and went into the Isthmian League Division Three, five levels below the old 4th division where they were when they went broke. Like Halifax, they kept their fanbase, regulalarly taking 4 figure crowds to places that were used to crowds being in double figures. They're now in league 2 (old div 4) and challenging for the play offs. Be nice to see the Shaymen do something similar, which I'm sure they will.
Funnily enough, the title of this thread is what's on the Aldershot Town badge.
