He may be on the money with part of what he said but the "why" part of his post is completely wide of the mark and looks to have been posted with the intention of stirring up trouble. I can only think of one group of people who would want to do that.......

Got to agree, although appearing well informed, always very negative and spun thus. Strange user name Portuguese/Spanish for 'Dubbed'!

Makes me wonder why we moved from Thrum Hall in first place. All we had to do was redevelop it and we owned our own ground. Cas still playing at Wheldon Road and no talk of stadium not meeting criteria. Any chance we could get Tony Gartland back on board with his millions.

We also thought the Shay being a dump at the time and being a community stadium we would be welcomed.

As misty eyed as some unrightly can't get over Fax being there nearly 20yrs on, and therein lies another problem.

Welcomed? Fax took over the place with a disgusting arrogance and no respect for its co-tennat. However, thats history.

The Shay had one stand rebuilt and another one well underway when Fax moved in. Historically the Shay was a dump, but major improvements had been made and were ongoing (until the East Stand farce).

I think we are where we are with the Shay . As the other posters have said its just time to make best use of what we have and move the club forwards. Dare I say it as well try and work with the football club in the future.

We can live in hope. Both BoDs need to get out on the beer for an afternoon.

That's horseshit Gavin and you know it. The arrogance was on the side of the Town directors who acted like they were the landlords.

I remember Ady Hall telling me we couldn't use 'their' boardroom on a matchday. Ground staff not allowing us to brand 'their' pitch losing us central advertising income. The new stand being designed with HTAFC spelled out across the seat blocks. And much more. You're right about both sides needing their heads banging together but at best it was six of one and half a dozen of the other.
