I’m as gutted as you guys, and I’m a Halifax fan. What could have been 5-6000 crowd for us at 3pm, has turned into 3000 at 12:30pm. West Yorkshire Police and Calderdale council are a disgrace. We could easily give you 3-4000 tickets. Don’t even agree with it being all ticket, but that being as it may, why is it only 1200 tickets! You bought 1600 last time out and you were baying for Hursts blood. Just makes no sense to me.

Ridiculous decision. Expect it to be completely counter productive with 100’s of Town fans likely to buy for the home end.

Yep totally agree and wouldn’t blame you. This going to bite the council and police in the bottom. Our club is not versed on all ticket games As our capacity is never close to being reached. We employ next to no non football staff and one of the smaller playing budgets. Would have been easier to keep it to 3pm, pay on gate and keep either home or away fans in ground for 15mins after game at worst.

I wouldn't be surprised if another reason was room for you all. 1,200 wrexham fans came last Tuesday and there stand was full to bursting.
The terrace you had last time is either condemned or they are extremely reluctant to use it for some reason.

Your talking common sense here. It doesn't apply to the police or councils who want to complicate matters and then blame all and sundry when it goes wrong.

Evening guys Halifax fan here. Just thought I'd come on and provide some context as to why this has happened. Which I can assure you has angered everyone at Halifax from the fans to the club who will now miss out on a fair amount of revenue.
Some of you may already be aware but after our Wrexham game last Tuesday night a group of Wrexham fans were set upon by a group of people who I prefer not to call fans which resulting in a 15 year old boy suffering a broken jaw. I'm not sure if he's out of hospital or not. 99% of our fans are disgusted that this happened and we have no issues at the majority of our home games.
I'm not sure these restrictions would have happened if that incident had not occurred. What's baffling to me is we can have as many as we want there but your restricted. I'm not sure who's supposed to be getting punished here us or you cause it feels like you.
Interesting that the only real bother I’ve seen at BP, especially this season was Wrexham…are they seeing their away allocations being limited?

If only there was a supporters’ organisation to lobby on behalf of the fans.

As far as I'm aware the Wrexham fans in question were behaving fine and just making their way back to the car to go home. Until they were set upon by a group of Halifax thugs. But because you'd be bringing a similar following I think they are bricking it thinking it might happen again. I wouldnt be surprised if you were hearded like sheep for your entire duration in the town to avoid any incidents Takes all the fun out if it as I know you'd have sold more than your being given but a small minority spoil it for everyone

Well no way am I missing this game, I’m not a season ticket holder but been going to all the home games with my family and another as we have caught the bug again and loving it. Halifax away is a game we have all been looking forward to going to on Boxing Day and I know we have no chance of getting tickets now so 100% we will all be there in the home end simple as that. 1200 tickets what a joke!!! They can try and stop more Grimsby fans going with a silly stunt like this but it ain’t going to happen.
