ADMINISTRATION will plunge Halifax Town into a relegation scrap, starting with tomorrow's trip to high-flying Forest Green Rovers.
The docking of 10 points will leave the in-form Shaymen - they have won three of their last four league games - just two points above the Blue Square Premier drop zone.
And it now looks like being a straight race between Halifax, Weymouth, Farsley
Celtic and Altrincham for the final relegation place.
Town have 12 games to play - the same number as the Terras while derby rivals Farsley have 11 and Altrincham nine.
Should the race come down to goal difference, Town would have a significant advantage.
Theirs currently stands at +1 with Weymouth on -20, Farsley on -22 and Altrincham on -25.
