It's a shame. No doubt we will be slagged of by the Northern Monkeys like those idiots in Hartlepool because we wont take more the 3 or 4 hundred fans but if the trains aren't running what do they expect.
Add to that , it will be on the box and that we are probably the worst cup side in the country.
Halifax fan here. Please come to the game, we aren't your typical Conf north club, we have a stadium and pitch that are better than half of league 1. It won't be your typical fa cup tie with a dodgy sloped pitch, and day trippers out for the day. Your experience will be comparable of playing the equivalent of a rochdale away.
It would be nice if you bought 500+. We actually take quite a lot away and probably average 400-500 fans to away games ourselves.
I also imagine the game will be in espn. I base this on the fact, that we have been the club espn has been following since the qualifying rounds. Espn were following tadcaster Albion who we defeated by us and espn cameras have been at all our games since then.
I'm afraid guys this was bound to to happen, As a fair weather ther plastic supporter of Charlton (season ticket holder for 9 years) I now have to come clean and admit my first love was Halifax Town - I can even remember them beating Charlton 2-1 at the Shay in the pouring rain with Keith Peacock scoring. I started following Charlton so that my son could support his local team - and because the regular trips to Halifax might have been too much, (the wife also said something about cruelty and social services).
The look on my son's face when thethe draw was was announced was priceless!. .
It'll go to penalties at the Valley though I'm not sure who will win.

Yeah, right. It's right up there with the greats of all time. Jesus, have a word with yourself. Have we fallen so far into the shit that taking 300 to some shit heap run down northern bob hole is considered a "great away day"?

Come on down to the Shay. You can have a nice evening in some of our select restaurants and bars in the town centre to help you get over the shock of losing to a little northern team in our run down "bob hole" in the north. We have a Wetherspoons so you will be accustomed to the luxuries that you can enjoy at home or away!
Had a great day out at Rochdale this year and had good ones in years bygone at Scunthorpe, Bury, Stockport, Crewe, Port Vale, Barnsley, Burnley, Tranmere, Blackpool and other smaller Northern clubs.
Didn't realise a good day out oop Borg could only be limited to Old Trafford and Anfield.

Would take replay now , not a great draw for you lot but Charlton are a big club the biggest in the first round so for us it is fantastic,
Huddersfield fans think they are the biggest club in league one , quite a few live in and around Halifax and they will tell you their history says they are ,shame only the over 75's remember the glory days.

Personally going to the Shay is probably a good away day, when you consider their fans stick by their club with other supposedly bigger teams nearby you will realise their passion for Halifax Town is as strong as any other supporter. I would add that it takes a special kind of loyalty and overall class to stick with HTFC (or Rochdale, or Bury, or Northwich), and I reckon that one Halifax Town supporter is worth 20 plastic Manure (etc) gloryhunting so called fans.
Halifax is actually quite a nice place as far as I can make out (I've passed through it a few times and it has lots of nice parkland etc) - I want to go because I've never been to the Shay. You can stick yer Old Trafford and Stamford Bridge up yer arse - give me a proper football club like this any day!
P.S I also went to Rochdale and it was a great away day - you can't beat the proper football fans that you find at these types of clubs and you get good banter with them; they have my utmost respect for sticking with it (no matter how painful) when they could so easily just be another plastic...
