Nearly as close as Bradford, so that's decent. Dunno if it's a first team affair, but hey ho. http://www.halifaxcourier.co.uk/spo...announce-more-pre-season-friendlies-1-5793590
Looking at the Halifax website it says a Barnsley X1 so I doubt it will be the first team. I have read an article somewhere where Flitcroft states that there will be no first team friendlies against non-league teams. He doesn't see the value in them and could end up with injuries to players due to the pitches or over zealous players.
it'll be a u21 game but there's know reason there'll be no first team players there. Anyone that isn't in say the 20 for the Wigan game could play. Maybe you'll see that Goalkeeper from Bury.
