You really dont think moving the club 13 miles down the road would make a difference? People support HRLFC because of the 'H' bit...Halifax. It is a club representing our town. The more casual supporter, who wakes up on a Sunday morning and decides to go to a match, may well not be bothered if they have to make more of an effort (and greater expense) to get there? It could well affect sponsorship too along with commercial income.
I am sure as well that 'with the ground in its current state' the Shay is still superior to Post Office Road. I would be interested to know what gross profit Fev make from their stadium, if anything. On the whole the Shay deal for the clubs isnt bad for what is included in the monthly rent.
You are presuming that moving 13 miles down the road is the only option. It isnt.
Fev make every penny of anything that is sold in their ground, what do Fax and Town make?
