Mr Popodopolous Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Halifax have gone bust!?! It's sad, when there is all this money flowing around in the game that historic clubs still go bankrupt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 Am I right in thinking that Altrincham used to be in the League a long long time ago, with those other long lose clubs like Barrow, Workington, Gainsborough to name but 3?

The club is pretty much one of the poorest in the conference, but fairly well run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
