Halifax Town was sent out of Fa Trophy in the 5th round last season.

Halifax Town have only collected 15 points from their away games in the National League, after 3-6-10 (19 played).

The attacking players of Halifax have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 180 minutes. Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Halifax Town goalkeeper Sam Johnson is eager to challenge this, with his 350 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

Halifax Town are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 0-0 draw at Gateshead.

A 0-0 draw at Dorking Wanderers's stadium before that.
