If you take a look on their forum the vast majority of their posts a reasonable sensible discussions, not name calling and bickering. I would ask that we take the same approach here!

Well said, lets not forget the redevelopment of the ground was started with money from the FA ground development fund as well as the sale of Thrum hall. One of the reasons it came to a halt was because the football team dropped out of the league and lost that funding. The Shay needs a successful Football and Rugby team.

They better get cracking then 'cause they are far from successful I have to say!!. Maybe get a few local amateur finals down the shay at long last would be a option. Some curtain openers etc. make more of a day of it for entertainment value and get more for your money!!.

I doubt that Mr Abbott, for all the brilliant work he does for us, is buying the shay on Halifax RLFC's behalf. We will still be tenants in a business property, just like town

I dont think the issue is who is it. Well OK, some people are getting a bee in their bonnet because they see it as a HRLFC man potentially owning the Shay. But the overriding issue is about the Shay, a public asset, moving from Council ownership into private hands.

People have short memories. It was the end of 2005 that Fax and Town supporters marched side by side to demonstrate at the town hall over the councils intention to sell the Shay. Forget who the potential buyer is because in many ways that is irrelevant. Think of the long term greater good of the Shay and professional sport in Halifax.

Re: Sale of Shay : Tue Sep 10, 2013 6:13 pm  

But the long term prospect of a Shay owned by the Council may result in the stagnation of both clubs and a massively under utilised stadium. Isn't there a safety device - like terms of Trust - that can be made part of the sale agreement.
