Can a tenant block a sale by their landlord?

Football club may be able to drag it out. Make the council answer a few questions, but if it goes through it could have a detrimental impact with their future relations with the stadium.

The Anti Fax forum is back on meltdown form after the Football Clubs meeting last night. A couple of things though. The Council dont have to discuss any business with either Fax or Town. Both are only tenants and as such have no rights to find out what is happening. The Council were not even close to selling The Shay- it was just discussions. Why should the Council contact Halifax Town about something which was/is still not even close to happening?
The Anti Fax Forum is saying that the Shay should only be under the control of the Council. But then they are now saying that the Councillors who control the Council are a set of lowlifes for talking to Abbott. For me the Council are not that interested in holding on to the Shay as its a financial millstone that will keep requiring millions over the next few years to keep it up to date let alone develop it. How much has the Council spent on the pitch for example? Whats to stop the Council flogging it in a few years to somebody who doesnt care about either club? The amount of voters that actually care about The Shay is small and as such the Councillors are hardly going to lose much sleep over the sale. If we are looking at numbers we are probably looking at a max of 4,000 local people who have actually visitted the shay to watch either Club or both. In a area with around 200,000 people that is not many. Personally I wouldnt trust the Council as anybody else especially one that has big debts and is not well run.

The more stupidity I read from the Town fans the less sympathy I will have when Abbott kicks them out.

The thing that worries me most is when the FCHT fans change tack and go along the route of "If the Council really want to sell the Shay it should be put out to open tender rather than sold on the cheap to Reactiv".

This tells me that it is not the Shay being sold that worries them, rather that it could be sold to someone involved with The Great Satan aka Halifax RLFC.

Don't they realise that Tony Abbott is at least heavily involved in Halifax sport, lives locally and runs a local company? Has it not occurred to them that if bids were invited from the wider market it would almost certainly be bought by someone who is only interested in the site and what they could make out of it?

Abbott should try and get Cess Pod in to put together a joint venture.

Maybe FCHT directors want a chance to bid ?
