Preview- FC Halifax Town v Stockport County by Ian Watts




Ian Watts gives us what he hopes will be the first of a series of previews of County's pre-season games .......


A nice trip to Halifax to swelter in the mid-day sun, then for some a dash to watch a game in Russia - a country which on my only visit some 28 years ago or so was generally even hotter. For food options there seems to be some sort of Farmer's market opening in Halifax tomorrow, but I will leave it to you to look that one up on the internet if interested.

It will be the first game for both sides so no real info on line-ups. Town have recruited from various places during the summer with  Cameron King adding Yorkshire to a CV that includes Norwich, Dublin and Kings Lynn.

Midfielder Sanmi Odelusi who started at Bolton and has since been with both Rochdale and Wigan,  joins from Cheltenham.......

.......whilst defender Jacob Hanson returns for a second loan spell from Bradford City, and Jordan Preston is, like County's Nyal Bell one of several to leave Gateshead since last season, the Head apparently having financial troubles.

A danger man could be new Hatters   Ash Palmer and Frank Mulhern teammate at Guiseley last season Dayle Southwell, who has previously scored against County in three games for Boston  United.

I Hope to have a little more info ahead of County's second pre-season challenge.
