FC Halifax Town v Eastleigh LIVE

“So when we consider the season on the whole it is incredible to think that today we play for a 10th place finish.”

“We recruited well in the off season but some arrived late in pre-season, injuries, illness and finding the right blend made it a difficult process.”

“Of course this was always going to be a season of transition. I expected, naively, that the transition would be smooth and seamless, unfortunately it proved to be far more challenging.”

“I know there will be a hint of disappointment in not making the play-offs having been in the top seven but the strides and improvements the club has made this season have been excellent.”

“Running any business is challenging but sporting clubs are even more challenging as there is so much emotion involved. Everyone wants success, the ultimate for us all is promotion to League Two.”

“We are shortly due to announce a one-off special Wembley shirt, the key elements will be embroidered match branding, gold star as a previous winner and the new Adidas logo.”

“We are hoping to take at least ten thousand fans to Wembley, to ensure we have a swell of support to cheer the boys on. We have secured coaches to help with the transport which have sold well and if we need more, we will endeavour to put more coaches on, but the sonner you commit the sooner we will be able to check availability.”
