All aboard at Halifax

Halifax Town have agreed a sponsorship deal for next season with train operator Grand Central reports the Halifax Courier.

"It is a significant sum," said Ian Yeowart, managing director of Grand Central who are bidding for the right to run a direct train service from Halifax to London.

"We will be supporting the club in as many ways as we can and part of the package is for away travel and accommodation. (said to be worth around £20,000)

"Halifax Town is a well run club. They have had their problems in the past but they are trying to put those problems behind them now and we are delighted to be on board."

Meanwhile Hailfax Town chairman Geoff Ralph is said to be delighted to have finally negotiated the deal.

"People are beginning to realise that as a club we mean business, and the final piece of the jigsaw will be to pay off the CVA."
