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.

alright alright calm down calm down

An outsider looking in on the Sale of the Shay debate : Wed Sep 18, 2013 11:44 am  

As an outsider looking in on the "Sale of the Shay" debate, with no knowledge of Mr Abbott and with limited patience to wade thru the previous messages on the subject, can someone pls provide a pros & cons summary of the sale to Mr A or anyone else for that matter.

Thanks

PS Are both the football and rugby clubs solvent at the moment?

I urge any rugby fans if they want to know the footballs position to follow the halifax town supporters club twitter. They are updating the twitter constantly from the directors open to question meeting at the shay tonight. @halifaxtownsc is the handle.

Re: Sale of Shay : Wed Sep 18, 2013 7:42 pm  

Lets just say, the football club are quite unhappy about the way the bid had gone on for 18 months and they have only been informed by TA and council in the last 3/4 weeks. They are consulting their lawyers to clarify position. Would rather council ownership. That's the gist of it so far.

I am annoyed with the Halifax Town Board as they hide behind the Council and rugby club, the facts are that they have been fully consulted on this but chose to say otherwise. The are stoking the fires imo

Certain members of the council and TA have been in talks for 18 months. FC Halifax town only heard of the bid 3-4 weeks ago. Please read the supporters club twitter to get the full facts from the halifax town board.

Of course they are stoking the fire. They haven't anything in writing/legal from the council or mr
Abbott. they have requested a sales pack from the council.

I think that Town fans will believe anything their Board say and will not believe anything either the Council or Reactiv say. The same Town Board that have put up the price to watch Conference football to £17 minimum as I have found out when I have been down to watch the Shaymen, maybe thats why there were only 1100 Town fans down last night as Grimsby brought 518.
Do you think even if the Council or Tony Abbot said exactly what has gone on in a public meeting Town fans would believe them?
I don't as they are totally biggoted against the rugby club end of story, sad really.
The thing is the Council are loisng money on the Shay over £200K per year, so as a Council taxpayer I think they should sell it, remember there are more non sports fans that are Council taxpayers and if they start wading in then the Council will have to sell it anyway.
