FC Halifax Town: Stockport friendly could be moved for England game

FC Halifax Town will move their home friendly against Stockport County next Saturday (July 7) to an earlier kick-off if England reach the quarter-finals of the World Cup.

The match is currently scheduled for a 3pm kick-off, but that would clash with a potential England quarter-final at the same time if they beat Colombia in the round of 16 on Tuesday, so The Shaymen will then play the Stockport match at noon instead.
