And while there will have been games played at the ground that have had more quality, few will have had as much drama.
It had everything.
A hugely controversial refereeing decision, a missed penalty, fog that threatened to end the clash prematurely and, of course, a last-gasp leveller.
Town twice took the lead, but were never able to build on their advantage as Newcastle hit back twice to level.
And when the visitors went in front - after missing a penalty - with 12 minutes remaining, it looked bleak for the Shaymen.
But Ellis, picked out by boss Jim Vince seven days earlier for failing to make an impact as a substitute at Rossendale, came up trumps and Town might have gone on to win as the referee allowed seven added minutes.
Halifax were the better side in the early stages but despite chances for Ashley Stott, Damien Allen and Junior Brown, they were unable to break through.
Newcastle responded with a couple of attacks of their own, Paul Brayson being the main threat.
But it was the Shaymen who finally bagged the game's opening goal in the 28th minute after Scott Phelan had released Stott.
His shot was deflected onto the bar by Blue Star keeper Daniel Lowson, but rebounded to Paul Gedman who headed home.
Tom Baker almost doubled Town's lead after Gedman had been fouled, but his free kick bounced over off the top of the bar.
And Newcastle made the most of their let off by levelling 11 minutes before the break with one of the most bizarre goals ever seen at the Shay.
Keith Graydon's speculative 35-yard effort was tipped onto the bar by Jon Kennedy. The ball bounced down, over the line and into the roof of the net before finally ending up in Kennedy's arms.
It was a clear goal, but the referee did not signal it as such and received little help from his linesman, allowing Kennedy to throw the ball out and attack down the right.
Newcastle's players surrounded the officials before the ball was put out for a throw and play started again from the sideline.
But the referee blew his whistle to halt proceedings, jogged over to his assistant then gave the goal - fully three minutes after the ball had initially crossed the line.
Town responded positively, Gedman forcing a great save from Lowson before sending a header from Damien Allen's free kick goalwards only for the keeper to save again.
At the other end, Kennedy had to get down smartly to his left to turn a Brayson effort round the post.
Halifax were back in front seven minutes after the break after another foul on Gedman. Having had a first half sighter, Baker curled his free kick deliciously into the top corner.
Gedman, surprised a Brown corner had reached him at the far post, headed wide then the striker sidefooted a volley from Stott's cross into the keeper's arms.
The fog became an increasing problem for players and supporters alike, although Newcastle coped slightly better than most as Graydon crossed from the right and the unmarked Karl Ross headed home.
Kennedy was forced to tip a Brayson shot from the edge of the area over the bar before Lincoln Adams inexplicably handled a Chris Emms corner to give the visitors a penalty.
David McTiernan strode up confidently to take the kick but blasted it onto the bar and over.
Brown drifted in from the left before firing a right foot shot narrowly wide three minutes later.
But Town found themselves behind for the first time with 12 minutes remaining when Ross bundled home his second, although many inside the stadium felt there was more than a hint of handball about the goal.
Town threw everything at the Newcastle defence in the final few minutes before Nigel Jemson's free kick was flicked on by Gedman and Ellis was at the far post to head home the equaliser.
That came in the third extra minute, but there was still time for a couple more Town chances, Adams having an effort deflected wide for a corner from which Jemson forced Lowson to knock the ball over his own bar.

STAR SHAYMAN
Tom Baker marked his return to the side after a one-match injury absence with a stunning free kick and a superb all round display.
The former Bradford Park Avenue man drove Town forward and on another day could have had a couple of goals, his first half free kick having skimmed the bar.
Paul Gedman put himself about as the Town fans had hoped he would and it paid dividends.
He was in the right place at the right time to bag Town's opening goal and was fouled for the free kick which allowed Baker to curl home the second.
He also had a hand in the third as he flicked the ball on for Danny Ellis to head home.
Scott Phelan was not quite as influential as he had been in previous matches, but he was still among the best players on the field.
In the first half, when the Shaymen were clearly on top, it was Phelan whose passes opened up the Newcastle defence. On three occasions he got the ball through to Ashley Stott, the third time leading to the opening goal.
Baker takes the three points on offer in our season-long competition with Gedman two and Phelan one.
