Although not a soccer fan , you've got to give town credit for an excellent win but more impressive was the crowd. 3152 it just goes to show that people will go to watch a sucessful team playing a big match - well done .

3,152? Really? That's the record this season in the whole of the Unibond leagues - including the Premier with FC United.

Well done indeed. I'm not a Town fan at all but that's impressive. Up to the "Premier League" next year is it?

That figure was fromthe courier so it could be 315 or it could be 31520 !

3152 there today. a fantastic achievement for the club. with continued success on the pitch thanks to an excellent bunch of staff both on and off the pitch, the future looks bright. The new east stand brings a whole new level of prosperity for both clubs

onwards and upward both the shaymen and fax!

Very well done town that is fantastic great result, great crowd

it seems the East Stand is atracting more fans for both clubs lets hope it continues.

well done town n great attendance too.

Terrific win played them off the park, saw a few other Fax fans down too great crowd considering not many from Lancaster, heard a few but never saw any.
Well done Town, go on and win that league now don't blow it!

I went today and thoroughly enjoyed it. Town were terrific particularly the centre forward Dean. It was a great crowd and I have to say that the atmosphere was the best I've experienced at the Shay this year. Now they've hit the top I hope they can stay there and hopefully be parading the championship trophy in two weeks time.
Note to the council though - sort out the on street parking near the ground for Saturday afternoons a two hour limit isn't enough!

Give town credit???

A bit risky, they'd never pay you back.

I hope this thread stays positive and complimentary. We can be civilised on this side of the fence.

Town deserve credit for their performance and the crowd were fully behind the team all game.
I thought there looked to be more than 3152 to be honest, the SS was as full as most Fax matches and the East Stand looked impressively busy also.
I wish the footy all the best and on today's performance they more than deserve promotion and the following they have should see them there.
Well done FCHT and the supporters, hope to see some more of you at Fax games sometime.

Fantastic crowd, if only we could get crowds which broke the 3k barrier.

We did, against Leigh.



Not having a pop at FCHT as, TO ME PERSONALLY, they are totally irrelevant but they are already crowing on their site with comments like "rugby town my !"

It's just one game and probably their biggest for years.

League home averages so far:

FCHT = 1,335 (while playing at the top of their game and heading for promotion)
FAX = 2,364 (while playing at nothing like their potential and having had a terrible string of results)

E&OE

I wish Town all the best (but not a section of their supporters).

Apologies, I thought I put consistantly, but hey ho, the sentiment remains.

It sounded like quite a few Fax fans went down to SUPPORT the Shaymen, lets hope their fans can return the favour.

About as much chance of platting p1$$

A response to your question, on their forum, was "I'd rather eat a sandwich".

Says it all really, doesn't it?

NB. Our swear filter changed the exact wording of the sandwich filling, theirs didn't.

well done Halifax, this is what we all need, 2 clubs both playing well.

shame, still wish town look at Curzon tonight

dont think he speaks for many on there.
just thinks he does.

5-0 victory for Town tonight. Are they drinking different tap water from our lot

another good win, still got 3 home games to go so will be making emc n council lots of money.

there could well be more than 4000 there for our last home game in a couple of weeks against skelmerdale. brilliant result again for town

as for animosity between both sets of fans, its only a minute few, the vast majority were delighted so many faxfans turned out to cheer the towns footy on against lancaster on saturday

Went to FCHT's game at Curzon tonight, think it's fair to say that they're nailed on for promotion now.

good on yer mate,from a fan of both hx clubs.

from the town forum:

"I think the rugby fans have been very magnanimous in their support of a great result and a great crowd for the Shaymen. They have gone up in my estimation and I will certainly consider supporting them during the summer once our season is over."

Good on you all
