FC Halifax Town are back at The Shay this Saturday to host Sutton United in a National League fixture. The match kicks off at 3pm on 19 September, with the Shaymen looking to extend a three-game winning run that has lifted them to ninth place in the table on 12 points.

Referee Declan Brown will take charge of the contest. Brown, who has been an EFL official for just under a year, is familiar with the visitors. "His first National League game was our visit to Ebbsfleet in April 2025 and last season he took charge of our games at Rochdale and Carlisle," he said. Anthony Moore and William Vaughan will be the assistant referees, with Joe Moss acting as fourth official.

Matchday information

Tickets for the match are available, with adult prices set at £24. Concessions can enter for £20, while tickets for those aged 12-17 are £10 and under-12s cost £5. The turnstiles for the Skircoat West Stand and the North Stand terrace will open an hour before kick-off. Supporters are reminded that under-14s must be accompanied by an adult aged 18 or over.

For those travelling by car, parking is available on-site. "The Shay has a large council-operated car park on-site (HX1 2YT), charged at standard rates," the club confirmed. Additional parking in Halifax town centre is a 10 to 15 minute walk away. Halifax railway station is a five to ten minute walk from the ground, though the journey from London King's Cross can take up to four and a half hours via Leeds.

Facilities for wheelchair users are located at the second and third tier levels of the East Stand, with access via a lift inside the main entrance. Catering and accessible toilet facilities are also available at ground floor level in the East Stand.

Form and context

Chris Millington's side head into the fixture in strong form, having won four of their last five league games. Their most recent result was a 1-0 away victory at Wealdstone, secured by a 58th-minute goal from Andrew Morgan-Smith. This followed convincing 3-0 home wins over AFC Hornchurch and Wolves U21s.

The head-to-head record between the two clubs is perfectly balanced, with four wins each and four draws. Their last meeting ended in a 2-2 draw at The Shay in February. Halifax are one of only four sides in the division yet to record a draw this season. For the latest player statistics and the squad list, supporters can visit the club's dedicated pages.

While the team has found goals from various sources, the search for a consistent top scorer continues. Striker Sam Johnson has made 10 appearances this season but is yet to get off the mark. The club's current top scorer is Zak Gilsenan with four goals, placing him among the division's most prolific players. The next home game after this weekend is against Boreham Wood on 26 September.
