It seems that the issue at the rugby club is the dIfferance in the two rents the football clubs is a lot less. Does anyone know why this is. if there is an agreement between the rugby club and the council and the council seem to be sticking to this agreement I can't see how the rugby club can avoid paying the agreed amount until the current agreement is up for review.

Fair enough we have a valid complaint about the rate vs FC Halifax Town, but the simple fact is you cant just stop paying for christ sake. It's embarrassing.
At the end of the day if we win then they will just put FC Haifax's rent up, not ours down, and everyone looses except the council.

Making the club look pathetic.

Re: Not this again : Fri Feb 26, 2016 6:40 pm  

If the club has a dispute about certain aspects of he rent then it's fair enough that they bring them up with the council, but that not an excuse just to stop paying rent. Over the last 12 month the club has moved so far forward on and off the field and looks like it's been run I a professional way, but this makes it look the complete opposite, it's unprofessional and embarrassing. It needs sorting out

Ive got a feeling the council are going to end up looking very silly over all this. By law they still have to follow correct dispute procedures and considering this dates back a number of years it will be shown that they have not done this. The FOI act shows how much Halifax RLFC are in arrears it does not show a record of when payments were made, anyone thinking the club have stopped paying their rent is way off the mark.

Time for a club statement I think.

Having read the statement in the courier "not wanting to discuss this in the public domain" and Greggs post I feel quite reassured.
Me?
I'll just let them get it sorted.
Bet the Town forum is in meltdown.

To be fair they are £35,000 in arrears, how much are we actually paying, £100 a month?

We may have been in dispute for a few years but in that time we have made a sneaky bid to buy the stadium, can't be that much of a dispute. The bloke that drove the bid doesn't seem to be around anymore!

We have an agreement, stick to it. Pay up whilst disputing it - who knows, we may get a refund.

Bottom line is this doesn't go away, there's no smoke without fire and its damned embarrassing for our great club and its fans

So the council have to follow the proper dispute resolution process but we don't have to hold up our end of the contract? I don't care what the dispute is, unless we have a legal instruction telling us not to pay, pay the bloody rent! Like I said earlier the council could very easily solve the problem by raising the rent for the football club. Then everyone looses apart from the council that get our rent and theirs!
