The first FC Halifax Town match is down south! (almost...)
We look forward to meeting as many members as possible on Saturday at Tamworth for what will be a rather unique occasion. Not only is it the first game for the phoenix Halifax club but it is also likely to be the only game for quite a while that many of us can get to within two hours! We have an SDS pub nominated for the day, we return to The Albert Hotel on Albert Road which is just by the train station. The full address is 32 Albert Road, Tamworth, Staffordshire, B79 7JS.
We have 10 issues of the close season fanzine left (SDS76) and we also have our first badge of the season available 'Jim'll Fix FCHT'! We are hoping to produce our first fanzine of the season in time to go on sale against Bamber Bridge but this will depend on the number of contributions we get as much as anything else. It would be particularly appreciated if we had some volunteers to write first hand reports on the rest of the upcoming friendlies.
Members who have renewed should receive their membership card / fixture list in the next week or so. To date, around half of the members have already renewed which is slightly ahead of previous seasons at this stage. We thank you all for your continued support.
Our Fanzine Designer has also provided an .ICS file, for all those technically minded, containing the full fixture list for FC Halifax Town for 2008-09. For those who don't know what an .ICS file is (as I didn't until earlier this week...) it's a calendar file, compatible with Apple iCal on iPhones, Mozilla Sunbird and Google Calendar, which you can import to those applications. Right click on this link and select 'Save Link As...' to download it, or see the SDS News page.
Anyone interested in the site updates over the previous few months can see them in the 2007-08 archive section on the SDS News page, which we will begin updating for the new season shortly.
