Supporters of Halifax Town are keeping the relegated threatened Conference club going while a takeover bid is sorted out. A consortium of West Yorkshire businessmen plan to pump more than £200,000 into the club to leave it debt free and set up to have a go at returning to the Football League. However, the takeover has been a long drawn out affair, although the prospective new owners stumped up half of the £30,000 required to keep the club going in March. The supporters' club and trust came up with £3,500, still leaving a massive shortfall in terms of the club's day-to-day running costs. Town have been bosted by the news that Calderdale Council are to spend more than £1m completing The Shay's East Stand which has stood unfinished for four years. However, remaining competitive is always going to be a challenge in a medium-sized town in area with a strong allegiance to rugby.

When first erected in the 1890‘s Halifax Borough Market was the centrepiece of the town centre plan. Over 100 years later the building is still at the very centre of the towns retail activities and is still regarded by many as probably the finest indoor market in the country. In its time the “borough market” was home to an active and varied assortment of traders all competing to satisfy the towns peoples needs for groceries, fruit & vegetable and meat & poultry. The traders of the twenty first century ... resolutely continue to defy the ever advancing stranglehold that the national retail chains seek to impose on them. Offering a competetive and humerous service.
