Adel ascended on the rolling valley of Halifax, West Yorkshire (where everybody seems to know everybody) for a crucial away fixture with one of the league’s best. Big Ben’s men knew that the talented and tough playing style of the boiz from the valley had to be taken seriously, especially dropping down from the league above.
