Game 18 A throw back to the Dark Ages

A throw back to the dark depressing days of 1970’s football violence ruined what should have been a good cup tie between Lancaster City and Halifax

Shortly after Halifax had taken a 2nd minute lead through Renshaw trouble broke out at one end of the game, with no policing the ensuing mayhem lasted for a good 10 minutes.

Both teams were taken off by the referee and didn’t return for 25 minutes when the a police presence was at the ground.

Garner added a 2nd before half time and Gregory a third near the end of the game however any enjoyment ended with the fighting.

A truly depressing day
