I don't know what you mean about the mole, but, if we haven't been paying our way then we haven't been paying our way in my book.

The inference is that someone on the council is passing information on to someone at FCHalifax.

I am sure there is absolutely more to it than we haven't been paying our way.

I hope that this will finally put the issue to bed, but I very much doubt it.

Cue the luddites. If we have been given access all facilities, does this mean that we did have access either removed or threat of removal? If so does this add fuel to the rumour that FC Halifax have a mole on the inside?

Part quote from the release.

"any invoiced charges which may be outstanding in respect of the Shay, the position of each party is reserved."

In other words

Strictly between the club and the council so if there is anymore information sneaking it's way out then there could be a mole passing it on to a mouse and we should smell a rat.

The most important statement in all of this is.

Part quote.

"The Board of Directors and friends of Halifax RLFC have invested heavily this season hoping for success and the attendance at our first game of the season was disappointingly low. If fans want to see Halifax RLFC with a chance of playing in Super League they now need to get behind the team by supporting us in larger numbers, especially over the next month when we play at home, those teams who seem to be our greatest rivals."

In other words.

If we don't get the crowds up we won't be going anywhere near Super League and we may go backwards.

And nor should we. We and Fev and Leigh need to be posting 3,500+ to be seriously "knocking on the door" as it were.

After weeks of getting grief from non fax supporters the council and OUR club say it is sorted and all I seem to be reading is complete negativity form Fax fans on here. The club, supporters trust and us who have season tickets pay at the gate week after week are trying and wanting our great club to move forward. Yet people are still moaning. Don't ask what your club can do for you but what you can do for your club!

What negativity? Just general discussion. We will all be there screaming at the ref on Sunday.

Bloody Brilliant.

We've not got access to all areas with local junior rugby shafted for the second time in two weeks. The council have called our U10 15 minute each way game off with 5 days to go. Twenty, four stone kids with the footprint of Freddie Tuilagi's nose is "apparently" too much for a pitch that won't be used again for another 7 days.

30+ extra ten quids might only be £300 in the scheme of things, but it’s more about engaging the Kids and giving them a ‘wow’ day.

I think Calderdale Council need to drop the ‘ Community Stadium’ bu1154!t.

A couple of points, posting what the BOD says about crowds can hardly be moaning by us, they said it and it is a real concern for them and us all.

In that sense rather than being sorted just because most of the rent has been paid, it still needs to be sorted otherwise they would not have taken the opportunity to mention it again, it's not the first time.

The concern has increased as the crowds have decreased and with that in mind the statement, comment or whatever you call it is a truthful reality check on where the club stands now and the prospects of where it will stand in the near future.

It is also an appeal to anyone who is thinking about coming down to the Shay to watch rugby to do so in the next few weeks.

Since most on here are attending the games and paying our way our role will be to try and get others to go and I for one will try.
I don't see it as a negative at all, if we can do the above then that can only be positive.

I too think this is a positive post lets all draw a line under what they have to say on the Town board it holds no interest for me , lets get doing something for our club . We can all try to bring along a friend to a match or pop some change into the Trust collection ,join the Meal Deal , sponsor an under 20s player lots of things to get positive about this year .

That's not what this means, reserving in this case means neither side backing down. The rugby club has paid some arrears but that doesn't mean it accepts the full amount is owed. The council has accepted the money but doesn't accept that the arrears are now cleared. You've come to an arrangement without accepting each other's stance - that will still need resolving.
