Halifax in shit (real subject "aggro at games")

Goes from bad to worse for them.

Shame really as I used to enjoy away days at Halifax.

Hope they can do "an Aldershot" (albeit from a slightly higher starting point if they can stay afloat).

Is their main stand still unfinished?

They ran out of money the last season we played them, Flash scored a cracking volley, we were on a huge roofed terrace behind the goal with a half built main stand on our right.

Further proof of how lucky we are as a club - I remember vividly that match against Scarborough in 99 that kept us up and later Scarborough started their decline.

We are very, very, very lucky to have IOR.

I concur.

Hence why I get upset when people make stupid statements saying that KH should go.

IOR and KH are the best things to happen to HUFC in my lifetime.

Even if I do disagree with the current ticket pricing policy of the monkey they're employing. :laugh:

Agree Mr Ripper loved having a bevy in The Shay then the match.

I went to the last match that Pools (and with the news, anyone maybe) played there. The pub landlord hated football he was a rugby league bloke and thought HTFC were ruining the pitch playing nancy football on it. All any of the regulars could do was nod sagely and say ....'arrrr....tha noos......'

Fookin' backwater...... :roll:

I've been looking for a picture of the WYP laying into the Pools fans,who were doing nothing wrong, apart from standing in an overcrowded area with intent.

Having found it yet, but did find this pic.......

It was against Mansfield 1984, the away fans were in the town end then seperated by a metal fence from the home fans.

There'd been a couple of pitch invasions with fans from both sides squaring up in the town end goal mouth, then a lad ran on, police grabbed him, his brother ran on karate kicked a policeman and he was also arrested.
The lad who karate kicked the bobby got 3 months in the clink.

The only game i can remember it kicking off inside the vic was when Pools played Aberdeen in a pre season friendly in about 2000. There weren't many at the vic either.....

I remember that. 5-10 Aberdeen fans jumped the Rink End fences, marched down the Cyril Knowles side with a swagger as if they were carrying invisible melons, and then I don't really remember what happened. We beat them though, 3-0 wasn't it?

Didn't Gary Strodder score an absolute beauty of a volley from near the edge of the box in that game

One of the worst I can remember was Sheffield United, must have been 1981-82 and there was serious trouble inside The Vic, with around 30 arrests. There was also chew at a Sheff Utd Away game, it was one of the first Away matches I went to without me Dad so I'll have been 15-ish.

I remember Sheffield United at home....running through Binns getting chased off them....I'll have been 9!!!! :shock:

I'm almost certain it was a Drizzily day!!!! confised

I remember the Grimsby Game early 70's.......it was the worst I have seen inside the ground for violence with several people stabbed with various implements including umbrellas.The Grimsby fans had got into the ground early and 'taken' the Rink End.......Pools fans spent the rest of the match trying to take it back.I remember this game so vividly because it was the first Game I had taken my younger brother to...he must have been about 10 at the time......it is still imprinted in his mind he was so traumatised....... rolfl

You shoulda thrown it at the Sheff U fans :laugh:

My contribution to the thread is Preston at home in the Autoglass/JPT/Sherpa Van whatever it was at the time in around 1987.
