FC Halifax Town will face a couple of familiar faces in pre-season with Accrington Stanley and York City scheduled to visit the Shay for friendlies.
The game against League Two Accrington Stanley is scheduled to take place on Saturday July 18, but is subject to police approval.

Blue Square Premier York City, who were beaten in last weekend's FA Trophy final at Wembley, will visit the Shay on Saturday August 1.

Town last played Accrington at home on Boxing Day 2005 when goals from Lewis Killeen and John Grant helped them to a 2-2 draw.

The Shaymen went on to reach the Conference play offs at the end of that season with Stanley claiming the title.

York were last at the Shay in February 2008 when they drew 2-2 - Mark Whitehouse and Nathan Joynes scored for Halifax

In addition to the two home games, Neil Aspin's side will travel to Unibond Premier North Ferriby United on Saturday August 8.

Town played a pre-season game against the Humbersiders in July 2000 under Mark Lillis when Gary Jones bagged a hat-trick in a 3-2 win.

SUPPORTERS team AFC Halifax beat Kidderminster Harriers 4-1 at Aggborough with a fine display of football.

Paul Cartman scored twice with Andy Hemblys and Adam Probets also on target.

stiglet,

hi 16/05/2009 14:24:32
good news about the friendlies. what i find not so good news is the story i heard today about any revenue made from bars at the shay will go straight into council coffers. this also applies to banquitting as this will be run by the council. therefore i ask the question of how both clubs will be self sufficient when the council is going to be milking all the profits? it's the usual thing with calderdale council. they couldnt give a stuff about sport in the town and only think about themselves.
