Police Advise Friendly Played Behind Closed Doors

There’ll be no public entry to this fixture.

This difficult decision has been taken following advice from West Yorkshire Police. Due to a number of recent unfortunate high-profile events, the demands on the force both locally and nationally are unprecedented.

FC Halifax`s Kelly Gilchrist said: “We’re all immensely disappointed with this outcome, but must respect and be considerate of the current pressures placed on our County’s Police force - with the requirement of manpower to oversee the crowd within the ground and within the wider Calderdale and Bradford areas.”
