Town appeal against expulsion fails
HALIFAX Town's hopes of playing Conference football next season are over.
The club has failed in its appeal to the Football Association against expulsion from the league.
The hearing in London, which lasted for four and a half hours, ruled in favour of the Conference who said Town had broken their eligibility rules.
Where the club goes from here is unclear.
A club statement said: "An announcement will be made as soon as possible regarding the future of the club.
"A clear position needs to be achieved, in consultation with the FA, the legal team on return from London, and Begbies Traynor.
"Again, it is hoped a decision regarding the future of the club/business, will be made within 24 to 48 hours, for the benefit of all parties concerned."
Halifax Town were represented at the hearing by David Hinchcliffe of Walker Morris Solicitors and David Phillips QC.
