    I saw some Halifax fans on Facebook over the weekend saying that they heard they were playing Sheffield United and us preseason. Today Halfiax confirmed the Sheffield United game so sounds likely their info was right. In the past this game was ruled out as an option due to the increased police costs due to expected trouble so if this is going ahead then police must have agreed to a lower presence.
    Halifax currently have the Sheff Utd game on Saturday 4th July and Chesterfield Tuesday 14th.
    Sounds like Preston will happen, my guess is the Tuesday 28th.

    In the last few seasons there's only ever been one friendly at VP and they have usually been against championship clubs so I'd imagine it would be against Preston. With Halifax being local it could change though.

    Possible , makes security less of a problem rather than hoards of City fans roaming around Hfax like the old days .

    They normally fly out after the 2nd pre-season game and come back around 2 weeks before the season starts ahead of the Tuesday home friendly so would expect it will be something around 18th - 25th July.

    Would if we( youth team) will play Eccleshill this year now they have moved to Keighley and changed their name. We seem to play them every year if I remember correctly
