Quoted from Garth
More tickets sold on the back of this


I’m convinced this signing was completed a bit ago. Isn’t Hursty out the country at the moment? I’d, therefore, be surprised if several players haven’t already re-signed or just signed and they’re waiting until ST sales hit a plateau, or keeping the signings ready to really ramp up the hype just before or after pay day. I think we’re operating in a different stratosphere to what we were last time we got promoted, the budget is so much bigger I think and the vibe is so much better.


I've wasted my life in black and white, a pathetic act for a worthless cause

Possible new club captain?


That was my first thought too, since Coke is departing. Waterfall was a very worthy Captain game to game but IF Waterfall doesnt re-sign then Myrrh will no doubt step up and Captain the team

There was competition from other L2 clubs for his signature, it seems. Makes you wonder what tipped things in our favour - because it might not have been about the biggest contract.

Location wise, there are L2 clubs closer to Halifax than we are.

Perhaps it comes down to some of these:

Season ticket sales breaking records and home crowds likely to exceed 6k consistently
Good training facilities - certainly much better than they used to be!
Feeling welcomed by a club that’s on the up - new owners that have instigated better relationship with fans
Amazing team spirit - who wouldn’t want to be part of a group that did what we did in the play-offs?!

Basically, in a league where there’s little to separate clubs, we’ve invested in the little margins that can swing deals like this in our favour.

As my mate Steve says, the last central defender we signed from Halifax didn't do too badly....

Good news to get a wanted man. Hopefully he settles well. Really looking forward to seeing him play.

It's only fair.

Halifax took our best CB years ago and now we take theirs.

WTF is Hurst playing at !!??
He has never played for us before, not even linked with us and no one has speculated about him either.
This is not on Paul.
