There's no way Horsfield scored a hat trick for Halifax in that 4-3 game - it would have been about 10 years before his time.
Sad but true, but any part time fans we could have hoped for are probably watching either of the Sheffield clubs or Leeds because they are also doing reasonably well.

We've missed a generation of supporters. It will take years of success to build our attendances. Not a 5 month spell at the top of league two.
Can't believe that nobody from the BV days is not going to mention the number of times that the crowd that was announced near end of whatever game,many times to be thounsands out by what you and all yer mates had guessed ."Iam sure there was more than 4200 there today" for club to announce that there was 2997 in attendance .Something was going on back then for sure .I remember the Burnley League Cup game when the crowd was a remarkable 24,999. Something to do with tax at 25,000 ?
It isn't just about floating fans going to see other teams in the area.Over the last few years people have had far more alternative options of what they can get up to on a Saturday instead of going to the football.
I have noticed recently that plenty of my customers have been asking me about the Rovers and showing an interest now that we are doing well.Over the last few home games an odd one or two have told me they had attended a match and only today two told me they were going on Saturday.There is a definite lift in interest just now.As has been said though, L2 isn't such a big pull for occasional fans, although i think we did have the biggest L2 crowd last Saturday.
