At least we wouldn't have to pay 20 quid to watch fax at savile park.

Anything that doesn't involve the pathetic health and safety rubbish and stewards that take on these orders.

This costs around 500 fans a game.

Re: New ground : Sat Aug 13, 2016 5:30 pm  

Sod the Shay. Waste of time.

Few golf stands out of Calderdale college will do, like Sheffield. This sport I love is a joke.

That fat pig Wood knows he's on a free meal ticket.

Stifling the whole game in this country.

Just go, you useless failure.

500 fans do not turn up because of health and safety and stewards?

Am I the only person reading the OP brainfart of an idea as:-

1. Get the Council to pay us to leave The Shay
2. Get the Council to overturn the covenant on Saville Park
3. Get the Council to build us a new ground

The result being

1. We mickey off numerous local amateur clubs that use Saville Park
2. We lose out on corporate facilties, club shop & dining
3. We lose out when we play Leigh or Bradford due to the 2000 capacity
4. We're still in a council owned & run ground that's just smaller than The Shay & will cost a helluva lot of money to expand up to The Shay's standards
5. We pay £25 to watch Fax cos we have no dining or corporate facilities and the club shop is a car boot

Yes, that's just it. A load of old bollox.

Not to mention that a lot of Town fans will hate us more when the council sell the Shay and they have no home because they could not pay the rent that the council wanted on it despite them throwing a big celebration party for us leaving.

I just hope that they don't ruin the pitch again this year after we have leave it in such good condition.

We could then actually use it to get some preseason revenue in.

The pitch was a disgrace after just one football game. All the damage in the goal mouth areas and will be a mess again by the time our next season kicks off.
