The Shaymen pulled off an unbelievable comeback last night when 10-man Town came back from two goals down to beat Notts County 3-2 at the Shay. ย 

Attacker Jordan Slew scored FC Halifax Townโ€™s first goal in the game and spoke to Shaymen TV after the final whistle. Firstly, the summer signing gave his thoughts on the match; โ€œThat was absolutely incredible,โ€ he said. โ€œIt was tough when Tom Bradbury got sent off because you donโ€™t think about winning at that point but wow, Iโ€™m actually lost for words. This was one of the most incredible games Iโ€™ve been involved in โ€“ we went down to ten men at 2-0 down with ten minutes to go, and somehow won 3-2 โ€“ thatโ€™s incredible.โ€

When Jordanโ€™s strike hit the back of the net, there was a massive roar in the Shay Stadium which was followed by an even louder chorus of Slewโ€™s surname being screamed around the terraces and stands. โ€œIt was a great feeling to score,โ€ โ€œBut I just thought we need to go get the ball and get a draw out of the game. But the boys were fantastic, from back to front.โ€

There was a little anti-climax after Jordanโ€™s goal, as the attacker was subbed off straight away. However, Slew gave an overview of the scenes on the bench when the next two Shaymen goals went in. โ€œAs soon as Billy Waters scored, I jumped for absolute joy,โ€ he began by saying. โ€œThen when Matty Warburton scored, the atmosphere was electric โ€“ what a game!โ€

Before Jordan joined the Shaymen, he was part of a successful Morecambe side last season which clinched promotion from League Two to League One โ€“ which was the clubโ€™s first-ever move into the third tier of English football. Albeit a highlight, there was one low light, and that was having the fans absent at games.

Therefore, Slew spoke about the importance of having fans in the stadiums and his thoughts on the Town supporters who were in full voice against Notts County. โ€œPlaying football without fans wasnโ€™t hard for just me and Morecambe, but for everyone around the world,โ€ he explained. โ€œA game like this today wouldnโ€™t have had the same juice without the fans, and they were fantastic. Of course, we know the fans arenโ€™t supposed to jump over the fence, but them doing that at the end is what football is all about โ€“ you canโ€™t help your emotions and thatโ€™s why we all love football.โ€
