[edit]History[edit]Formation Huge tax debts buried
Halifax Town A.F.C.
after almost 100 years as a football club. New figures put to a reconvened creditors meeting in May 2008 showed the cash-strapped Shaymen owed over
£800,000 to
Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs. The Revenue refused any deal and that effectively finished the club – already over £2 million in the red.
Administrators had been trying to broker a rescue package but speaking after five hours of talks that left liquidation near inevitable,
administrator
Rob Sadler said: "Halifax Town will probably perish." It was originally thought the club owed the taxman around £500,000, which might have left scope for a deal. But the news that it owed £814,000 meant that even if all the other creditors had accepted the 2.5p-in-the-pound offer originally on the table it would not have been enough.At a meeting of
The Football Association, discussing the makeup of the
football pyramid
for the 2008/09 season, F.C. Halifax Town were not placed in either the
Conference National, the
Conference North
or the
Northern Premier League Premier Division. Halifax appealed against the decision to remove them from the
Football Conference.
Though the appeal was rejected on June 11, the hope was that Halifax could play in the NPL Premier Division.
This did not materialise, and eventually Halifax Town were accepted to play in theNorthern Premier League Division One North
in the new season under the new name
F.C. Halifax Town.[edit]2008–09 The club's first game under the new name FC Halifax Town was a friendly away against
Tamworth
on 19 July 2008. There was to be no fairytale ending however, and the game ended in a 2–0 defeat. The club's first ever victory was against
Alsager Town
on 26 July 2008 by a 2–0 scoreline. Colin Hunter will be credited as the scorer of the new club's first ever goal after six minutes. Their first competitive Northern League Division One North match was at The Shay against
Bamber Bridge
on 16 August 2008, however the game resulted in a 3–0 loss for the Shaymen.The club got off to a poor start, despite recording their first competitive victory in the next match. However, a 7–1 home win against
Salford City
in late September seemed to turn the tide for Town. They went on an 8-game unbeaten run, 7 of those being victories, and shot to the top of the league table. The run eventually came to an end against
Rossendale United, who ended up doing the league double over Halifax and finishing the season bottom of the table.Despite the loss, Halifax remained top and more good results, including 5–1 and 4–1 victories against
Garforth Town
and
Wakefield
respectively, kept their promotion hopes alive. After the Wakefield match however, Halifax won just 2 of their final 14 league games, the wins coming against
Harrogate Railway Athletic
and
Clitheroe, both 2–1. This poor run led to the sacking of manager Jim Vince, and senior player
Nigel Jemson
stepped up to the manager's position for the remainder of the season. The automatic promotion places were certainly out of Halifax's reach going into the final 5 games, but the club needed to win a minimum of 3 of these final 5 games to have any chance of reaching the play-offs. They could only manage 2 draws and so a poor ending to the season cost them dearly, and they had to settle for a final position of 8th.[edit]2009–10 With new manager
Neil Aspin
taking the helm near the start of close season, Halifax Town got off to a much better start. Promising results in pre-season friendlies were consolidated after beating
Colwyn Bay
3–0 on their own turf in the first league match of the season. The results continued to be impressive, most notably in September, winning every game and conceding only one goal in the process. This included a 2–0 away victory over promotion-pushing
Conference North
team
Droylsden, before coming to a home defeat to
Wrexham
in the Fourth Qualifying Round in front of a then record gate for FC Halifax Town, 2,843.
Furthermore, first-choice goalkeeper Jonathan Hedge was called up for the
England C national football team. Halifax's glory streak faltered a little after losing 1–0 away to
Prescot Cables
in the only game during the season where they failed to score.Halifax failed to record a game for over a month during the heavy weather in the winter, and
Lancaster City
dominated the promotion race for a while. However, Halifax continued to rake up impressive results, and during a congested schedule beat
Ossett Albion
5–0, and
Harrogate Railway Athletic,Prescot Cables
and
Colwyn Bay
3–0 apiece among other results. A decisive moment came against
Garforth Town
away, when, after a Garforth substitute being sent off, Halifax came back from 3–1 down to win 3–4 in the last stoppage time.That following Saturday, 10 April, Halifax faced
Lancaster City
at home, beating them 4–0 in front of a new record gate, 3,152.
This result gained Halifax points over Lancaster for the first time since the beginning of the season. The Shaymen followed this excellent result on Monday 13 April by beating 3rd placed
Curzon Ashton
away 5–0. They held onto the top spot until the end of the season, becoming champions of the
Northern Premier League Division One North
with 100 points. The title was sealed with a 2–2 home draw against
Clitheroe
after beating
Ossett Albion
away 4–2 the previous Saturday in front of over 1000 travelling supporters.[edit]2010–11 FC Halifax Town start life in the
Northern Premier League
(or what is now known as the Evostik Premier Division) by signing defenders
Mark Bower
fromDarlington,
Matty Plummer
from
North Ferriby United
and Liam Hogan from
Woodley Sports, midfielders Harry Winter from
Northwich Victoria
and Simon Garner from
Clitheroe, winger Scott Metcalfe from
Trafford
and finally strikers
Jamie Vardy
from
Stocksbridge Park Steels, Danny Holland from
Eastwood Town
and Nathan Taylor from
Clitheroe
also.The pre-season kicked off with a game against local team
Brighouse Town, the same as the previous season. This resulted in a 5–0 win with debutant Nathan Taylor scoring four goals, and Danny Holland scoring one – an improvement on the 5–1 win a year before. On 26 November, James Dean became the first player to score 50 goals for the club, after only 69 games for The Shaymen. On
New Year's Day
2011, the home match to
FC United of Manchesterattracted a crowd of 4,023, an attendance record for the Northern Premier League in its current structure, and the highest overall since Wigan Athletic played Stafford Rangers on 28 December 1970 in front of 8,107 people.FC Halifax Town finally won the
NPL Premier Division
Championship on 9 April 2011 with a 2–0 away win at
Retford United
and will play in the
Blue Square Bet North
for the 2011/12 season.[edit]The Shaymen's 30 game unbeaten record at The Shay Spanning into three seasons, The Shaymen went 30 games at
The Shay
unbeaten. The run lasted from 18 April 2009 to 20 November 2010. It all began as a disappointing 2008–2009 season was coming to a close with a 1–2 defeat to
Curzon Ashton, which ended any hopes of a playoff place that year, and cemented Curzon's.They won 18 and drew 3 in the 2009–2010 season to seal the
Unibond Division One North
championship with 100 points and 105 goals. A slow start to the beginning of the 2010–2011 season seemed to spell the end of the home run very soon, but with the return of injured left/right backs Danny Lowe andAaron Hardy
and star striker James Dean, The Shaymen's season quickly took off and they rose to top spot. The Shaymen's unbeaten run finally came to an end on 20 November 2010, when
North Ferriby United
outplayed Halifax and dispatched them 0–2.[edit]The Complete Run

HistoryEarly yearsThe club was formed on 24 May 1911 at the Saddle Hotel.
They played in the Yorkshire Combination and theMidland League
and were one of the founder members of
Football League Third Division North
in 1921, and remained in that division until restructuring in 1958.Financial struggleThe club nearly always struggled financially as well as with its discipline.[citation needed]
It was relegated from the
Football League Third Division
in 1963 and was re-elected several times in the
Football League Fourth Division
in the 1980s after finishing near the bottom of the football league. After the introduction of automatic promotion and relegation between the Fourth Division and the Conference, the club continued to struggle before being finally relegated in 1993.Glory daysThe club's fortunes were turned around in 1967 when
Alan Ball Sr
took over as manager of the club. He achieved promotion with the club in 1969. Ball left soon after, although the club enjoyed some measure of success in the
Football League Third Division
in the early seventies, finishing one place short of promotion in 1971, and many of the club's supporters tout this era as the "Glory Days". Also in 1971 the club beat the former European champions
Manchester United
2–1. However, Halifax were relegated back to the fourth division in 1976.Glory to gloomEver since the relegation of 1976, the club saw a long period in the fourth division with very little success, but a lot of financial problems. The club always languished near the bottom of the football league, managing no better than a single mid-table finish in 1983. Many say that the goals of Steve Norris were what allowed the club to survive in the football league. However, Norris left in 1992, and the subsequent year, Town were relegated.ConferenceThe club found the
Football Conference
no easier than the fourth division. After several poor seasons with dire financial constraints, the club was demoralised as there seemed to be no way out. However, like with Alan Ball,
George Mulhall
came on the scene towards the end of the
1996–97
and avoided relegation out of the Conference. The next season Mulhall and O'Regan made a number of additions to the squad including
Jamie Paterson, Mark Bradshaw and
Lee Martin
to put together a title-winning team. The Shaymen were crowned champions of the Conference and regained Football League status. Free scoring
Geoff Horsfield
was also the top scorer in the Conference that season, scoring 30 goals.Back In the Football Leaguehttp://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/fd/HalifaxTownAFC.gif/200px-HalifaxTownAFC.gifhttp://bits.wikimedia.org/skins-1.17/common/images/magnify-clip.png
Previous Club Badge
For unknown reasons, at the start of the 1998–99 season, manager
George Mulhall
chose to retire and
Kieran O'Regan
was promoted from assistant to manager. Striker
Geoff Horsfield, who scored 30 goals for Town in the previous season, only managed ten games before he was sold to
Fulham
for £300,000 in October 1998.
Halifax made a strong start to their league campaign and were amongst the leaders until December after which their results started to drop-off and they slipped into mid-table. Still only three points off playoff positions O'Regan was sacked as manager by Chairman Jim Bown after a 0 - 0 draw with Rochdale in April 1999.
For the next three seasons, Town had three different managers, none of whom were able to bring success to the club. After two poor seasons, Town became the first team to be relegated to the Conference twice in
2001–02.Chris WilderChris Wilder
was appointed Halifax manager in July 2002.
In their first season back in the
Conference
the Shaymen finished in eighth position.In
2005–06
the Shaymen put together a strong push for promotion. They finished the season in fourth position and earned a place in the play-offs. An exciting play-off semi-final against
Grays Athletic
ended with a 5–4 aggregate victory over two legs to set up a
play-off final
with
Hereford United
at Leicester's
Walkers Stadium
on 20 May 2006. Goals from
Lewis Killeen
and
John Grant
put Halifax 2–1 ahead but
Guy Ipoua
levelled the score for Hereford in the 80th minute and the game went into extra time. Minutes into extra time substitute Chris Senior scored a third goal for Halifax but it was disallowed for offside.
Ryan Green
scored the winner for Hereford in the 109th minute and Halifax's dreams of a return to the football league were shattered.With continuing financial problems off the pitch Halifax struggled to maintain this form in the 2006–07 season and only avoided relegation from the conference on the last day of the season. Chris Wilder found himself again in a relegation battle in 2007–08 after the team were docked 10 points when they were placed into administration by a local consortium trying to buy the club.
Halifax again survived relegation on the last day of the season, only to find out later that they would be relegated anyway due to the club failing to meet the creditors demands to bring the club out of administration.End of the clubThese tax debts continued to threaten the club after the end of the 2007–08 season. In May 2008, and after a major error, it was revealed that the club owed over £800,000 to
Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs, making the club more than £2 million in the red.At a meeting of the
Football Association, discussing the makeup of the
football pyramid
for the 2008–09 season, Halifax Town were not placed in either the
Football Conference, the
Conference North
or the
Northern Premier League Premier Division. Though the club appealed against the decision to remove them from the
Football Conference,
they were unsuccessful and the club was wound up.The Supporters' Trust prepared a back-up plan to form a new club should it be required but the club was reformed by the same directors of the previous legal entity under the name
F.C. Halifax Town
and were accepted to play in the
Northern Premier League Division One North
in the 2008/09 season.
StadiumsThe club moved to
The Shay
in 1921 and remained there until their demise in 2008.From the mid-1990s on The Shay underwent substantial development, and
Halifax RLFC
moved in and shared the venue. The
Football Trust
assisted in providing funds for the redevelopment.Players and managersNotable playersFor a list of notable Halifax Town players in sortable-list format see

没错啊。贴的是他的前身球队，现在的没有任何历史。。。 相当高的要求啊。
只有2个选项。
球队状况，看来只有1个gk 1个dc 1个mc 1个st
只有一条中轴线。其他位置都要补强。 维基有！！ demo版就开了啊。。。不等正式的么- - 在球探的建议下签了不少人。
19日的阵容。

吃完饭最后一签。震惊了！我们是6级联赛啊。
我擦，这个前锋无敌了。
哈利法克斯刚刚从7级联赛升上来吧……怎么会有这么高的要求…… 你就靠着李富贵活着。
