Bradford Park Avenue sack their manager ahead of Shay visit

FC Halifax Town's opponents on Saturday, Bradford Park Avenue, have sacked their manager Alex Meechan.

Park Avenue are without a win so far this season, having lost eight and drawn three of their first eleven league matches, and are rock bottom of the National League North.

They also lost in the FA Cup against Salford at the weekend.

They have lost eight games in a row, equalling the record of consecutive defeats for the reformed club.

Meechan had a brief spell as a player at Halifax.
