Halifax Town appeal against Conference expulsion
HALIFAX Town have appealed against their impending expulsion from the Blue Square Premier Conference League.
The news emerged today after talks were held between Halifax Town Supporters' Trust chairman Allan Baker and consortium leader David Bosomworth.
The discussions between the two parties currently studying ways of keeping professional football alive in Halifax, have been described as 'brief' and were held in response to a letter sent by the Trust to the man still funding the club.
A statement released by the Trust after the talks said Mr Bosomworth had advised Mr Baker that the consortium was "still working very hard on a number of fronts in respect of trying to get the club into as high a league as possible."
Mr Bosomworth also "advised that an appeal has been lodged with the Conference."
Mr Bosomworth has agreed to meet with the Trust after the Conference annual meeting, which takes place on Saturday and is expected to rubber stamp Town's relegation for breaching rules on club finances.
He also told Mr Baker that the consortium "appreciates and supports the planning of plan B if not for now but for any time in the future."
Town are expected to be thrown out of the Conference structure after failing to agree a deal to emerge from administration last month.
The Bosmomworth-consortoum has been trying to ensure the club will be playing as high up the football pyramid as possible next season while the Trust are formulating plans as a back-up should it be required.
