Over to you Calderdale taxpayers.....

I think taxpayers would rather the Council got value for money and in the meantime, both clubs paying their rent in full.

Maybe Bubba is getting the funds together to purchase and run the Shay himself.

Maybe not

Did Reactiv have the funds? No.

I wonder if FC Halifax followers will be so objectionable when Mr Bossomworth steps in to by it?

Of course. We have long maintained that we dont want private ownership, regardless of who it is. This used to be Fax supporters' opinion too.

Strange, this became a battle between us and them, on the us side some were against, some were unsure and some were for, me included, on the them side all were against.
Strange, as I say had the debate been opened up to the people of Calderdale and not just the 3500 "supporters" do you think they would have embraced private ownership or a continual drain on the Councils Funds.
Private ownership was a chance to move both teams forward, now we will both play in a deteriorating stadium, an underused stadium, with a council who have no ideas
I say underused, LSV recently had an Elton John concert, Council owned, no funds to Leigh but the receipts will ensure that the ground will be kept up to date.
Our council have no such ideas, but I await Mr Abbott had.
Very sad.

Everyone has ideas. Its just a case of working with the Council to ensure that they maximise the stadium ensuring long-term security for both our clubs. Unfortunately this would never be the case under private ownership. Blimey, there has been enough concern on here regarding whether TA is still involved with Fax or not and the poor communication coming out of your club yet you still think he is/was the answer for the Shay. Naive at best.

That's fine then Bubba, i will remind you of this when it happens and the outcry on Shay.net is muted. My problem is that i suffer from the affliction of wanting the best for both the Football and Rugby teams.

Read my post, what is the Council doing to maximise the stadium?
Naive at best?
Tell me WHAT IS THE COUNCIL DOING TO MAXIMISE THE STADIUM?
Incidentally I thought it was your club as well?

The articles on http://theshay.org/wp/ showed that the Council could never have sold the stadium for what TA was offering and given that he was going to borrow to make the purchase at the pittance he offered, its doubtful he would have had the money to buy it for its rightful value.
