What a shame for the Shay faithful, football is completly losing the plot.
Outside the Premiership its dog eat dog!!

I hope they re-build the club and make a great comeback!:(

I have just been looking for confirmation, but can not find any just yet

Re: Alty Have been Rescued
 

I wouldt believe anything on that site without some confirmation from elsewhere. However, the BBC is reporting that Halifax have been twice relegated, taking them out of the Conference, and that there are negotiations taking place with the Unibond. See BBC SPORT | Football | My Club | Halifax Town | Two groups fight to save Halifax from which there are links to their fishy site.

Maybe this thread should be titled 'Sad Day for Town' or similar. The news of Alty's escape is nothing compared to what Town's fans are suffering. I can only commiserate and hope that they can effect a resurgence, à la Telford.

What a damn shame - and flamin' Alty get reprieved again because of it! They should be renamed Houdini United, the jammy gits.

Re: Alty Have been Rescued
 

Sick of these Alty escapes, why dothe Conference keep rewarding a BAD team. Theyve had enough chances, yet never build or go forward , leaving many Alty fans believing the Conf North is their level and thinking it would be good to actually see some wins. Surely it would be better to promote the play-off runners up instead? (Stalybridge).

Re: Alty Have been Rescued
 

They should have a match Alty vs Stalybridge at a neutral venue, that would be fair?? :o

But they won't?

Re: Alty Have been Rescued
 

Logically, after the last few seasons, Alty fans should be sorry they're not going down. But I bet they're not .. hope springs eternal (some Accywebbers excepted :) :hidewall:)

Re: Alty Have been Rescued
 

Alty are just realistic - they are a part time club because they have a small budget. if they went full time, finished mid table and went bust - would their fans be happy?

It seems only full time clubs do well in the conference.
