FC Halifax Town 2-1 Chorley: Fans Panel verdict

Andrew Mann

Man of the match

Matty Brown, solid as a rock all day, been excellent in the play offs especially considering his injury troubles.

Moment of the match

The final whistle blowing and knowing that town were back where we belong after a season of ups and downs.

Moan of the match

Idiotic “fans” going on the pitch after the second goal and throwing things onto the pitch, giving us a bad name.

Rob Brown

Man of the match

Scott Garner - had a great game capped off with the winner in extra time. Get Garner signed up for next season.

Moment of the match

3.10pm - the teams come out; what an atmosphere. Nearly 8,000 fans make a right racket. Football is alive and well in Halifax!

Moan of the match

Congratulations to everyone at Halifax Town for winning promotion you did us proud. It’s got to be the dullest trophy presentation in the world ever though.

Kit Walton

Man of the match

It was a day for our experienced players to excel, and they didn’t let us down. Although Jordan Sinnott created both goals, today’s award goes to Scott Garner for defending as though his life depended on it. He also scored the winning goal, of course!

Moment of the match

The first goal, which allowed Kev Roberts to banish the ghosts of Macclesfield from last year. He hit the post that time, but twelve months on he slots the ball through the goalie’s legs to send us all into delirium.

Moan of the match

The over-the-top antics of a small section of the crowd threatened to undermine things, but we shouldn’t allow it to detract from what was a very special day for our Football Club from start to finish. Well done to the board, management, players and everyone in the record crowd. Roll on next season!

Adam Heslop

Man of the match

Scott Garner showed why he was the player of the year, great in defence and scored the winning goal.

Moment of the match

Watching that bicycle kick from the Chorley keeper go over the bar and realising it was going to be our day, and we were getting promoted.

Moan of the match

I’m a huge fan of Kosylo but whether the occasion got to him or in was one match too much, he looked a shadow of his best and wasted several great chances.
