Even in private hands the stadium would still be a community asset.
And to use Anfield and old trafford as examples seems bizare to say the least

Despite what you may think, it's not an outright attempt to
Deny private ownership. Its a mechanism that allows time
And transperancy on any future potential sale, basically its gives the community 6 months to formulate
A bid or get Things in motion.

This is a good thing, trust me.

Does this mean that Bubba and his pals will be buying the Shay then?

You lot are a cynical Bunch aren't you . You are just as bad as the "anti
Fax" lot but at the other end of the spectrum.

An ACV buys you time , and stops tony Abbott or whoever owns the ground from selling it to the highest bidder at the first opportunity.

I've accepted the fact that the sale is pretty much a given. And I hope that tony Abbott and Ian croad and their investors build the shay into something great.

I still want to be vigilant though and when they do sell up, then we as sporting fans need to Have something like a ACV , to
Make sure the shay continues to be in the right hands.

I'm wondering why you keep bothering turning up & posting on here if that's how you feel.

There was a similar application for the Don valley turned down this week

With only 1,500 people turning up every week I'm not sure it is a valued community asset!!!

Great, another £125k of funding by the council - paid for by the public of halifax -
