Morecambe prepare to entertain Halifax Town at Christie Park on Saturday afternoon, with high hopes of improving on their excellent record against the opposition, having managed to conjure up a win from 4 of the previous 6 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Christie Park was less than a year ago, in January 2005, the Shrimps carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a Conference match.
