Like I said, I am not in favour of this, but it may work out in the long run. I think you're all a little naive in the sense that no one seems to want to question whether it's a good idea.

With a credit limit of £3,100 that's one cheap stadium. So there will be guarntees put on any purchase. If Reactiv Media goes belly up, then what? New landlord and then all this low rent, life's good garbage get's us nowhere.

I want some facts, not just hot air that I read in the courier. All I've heard so far is PR spin and nothing more.

perhaps FCHT could come out and actually say something to stop all the speculation

As a Halifax Rugby League fan I'll speak MY mind thanks. If you don't like it then fine. However, I ain't no Football fan. I just don't have my head in the sand like some.

Let's hope this all doesn't turn out like Barrow. I remember what everyone was saying on here during that period. Suddenly now it's ok and a good business modal.

Reactiv Media - current credit rating on-line today is £25,000 per Creditsafe - not sure where this out of date credit rating comes from?

The £3,100 is the insurable value. (Risk Disk part of Experian business cover) If they went bust you can recover the insured value of £3,100. These figures are correct as of today. As you can see the last Annual return is May 2013, so you have all the correct figures you need.

Having had a successful business myself for over 10 years I certainly know how these things work.

Slayerfest - I don't think it was aimed at you. He was saying in general, it would be good to hear the official side from FCHT and their points of view.

Then hear from Tony.

How hard can it be? 99 year leases for both clubs and a clause to safeguard the future of the ground as a sports arena for Halifax? Tony puts his money in, Halifax finally gets a better, FINISHED ground and he makes some brass for his enterprise. Jobs a good 'un!

Absolutely, something like this is what we need. As the last thing we need is if Tony falls out with the club in the future then we don't then want to be held to ransom over petty arguments.

These are the details that I want to see before I say 'yes' or 'no'. Until I see this then how can you possibly say it's a great idea for the town. Halifax RLFC have had their share of bad decisions in the past and I wouldn't want us to fall foul to another that we have little input in.

I agree we have made some bad decisions in the past but that was Nigel Wood making the decisions. This is Steel, Croad, and co. I trust them to make the best decisions.

The problem is if Reactiv go bust.All contracts become void and the administrator
sells the ground to whoever to pay some dividend to Reactiv's creditors.

I thought you said on another thread that we shouldn't be posting on this one?

players are leaving shortly.Lets give Karl and our team our full support in
the runup to next thursday and hopefully beyond.And please lets talk about
something else than the Shay..

And if we get a council made up of a majority of councilors who have no interest in pouring money into the Shay?

What do you know about Reactive that Mr Abbott doesn't?

I was going to make a comment re the Shay on that Forum, would you mind if I still did?

Well here I go,
I can not believe any supporter of HRLFC can doubt Mr Abbotts intention.
Mr Abbott sponsors Siddal RLFC, is he going to turn that into a supermarket? affordable housing?
Does any one think that he would want to walk away from both Fax and Town?
Where does this stupid notion that he may go bankrupt come from?
I would think his finances are far more in shape than Calderdale Council.
I have never met Mr Abbott but have heard him speak on a number of occasions, I have no doubt about his sincerity, I have lots of doubts about Calderdale MBC's long term commitment to the Shay.
Remember for the last two seasons they promised both clubs new drainage, what did we get, Blackpool beach.

I always like to sit on the fence.
