FC Halifax Town fans have been sending us their messages of support for The Shaymen ahead of their playoff clash at Boreham Wood.

If Town win on Friday night, they will then face Harrogate Town away on Saturday, July 25 for a place in the final at Wembley.

The play-offs will be played behind-closed-doors, but will be live on BT Sport.

This is your chance to be remembered forever. All you have to do is win the next three games. You can DO it! You KNOW the song, it’s football’s anthem for a reason: Walk on, with hope in your heart. I and THOUSANDS of others will be watching, WILLING you on, every step of the way.”

● Denton Froese said: “Speaking as a merry resident of Halifax, Nova Scotia, I want to point out that a victory for the Shaymen will lift the status of the city’s name throughout the Commonweal­th! So give it your all, and let your name be echoed across the ocean with your victory! Even better, there’s no such town as Borehamwoo­d in Canada. It’s the name of a m m n l n in Manitoba’s second-biggest city, and that’s it. There’s no contest at all, as far as we’re concerned – we’re behind you all the way.”
