So they're gonna come up with around £400k up front to take over the pitch and then try to run the stadium on their own? Don't be so bloody stupid!

All this appears to have come from that dipshit Flea. I take it "The Consortium" confided in him before proceeding, after all they really need the advice of a Tesco shelf filler (allegedly).

There's more to Flea than meets the eye.

Rumour has it that the bid has been put together worse than our SL bid.

Rumour is false.I'm told the bid is with legal people to review before submittance.

The tennancy agreement will be paid up and they will no longer be the councils tennants, they will be tennants for another party. Thats what I was told

Not sure who has told you that but that is not true.

The bidder who has enquired about the lease has done so on the understanding that FC Halifax Town are the only long term tenants at the Shay.

The offer submitted is in the hands of the respective legal departments over various issues but it is hoped that an agreement can be found (from both sides) within the next month or so.

The council will then be duty bound to give Halifax RLFC 28 days notice that they intend to cancel their contract due to being in arrears. The council are so keen to do the deal now that they are looking into options to keep the deal alive should the Rugby Club make full payments - which looks like at the moment requesting the Rugby Club pay a deposit on future rent, which will also be matched by the bidder in lue of the Football Club, with that money going towards pitch works.


The Council seem keen to make sure if Halifax RLFC do pay their owed rent they are told if they were to fall more than 3 months in arrears again then they will be out, no second chances, as the bidder will have the right to complete the current offer.

The current bidder has funds ready to transfer to complete the deal. Its a case of waiting on legal and seeing what response from the notice the council get from their next rent reminder and the 28 day notice

From the Town board.

More Flea quotes!

OK. I don't know the guy so I can only go by the continuous strings of vicious bile which he comes out with. He never, ever comes out with anything constructive and manages to turn every thread, even those which are totally non-related, into a Fax bashing session. The boy is obsessed!

My point is that if this proposal is true, why would they provide him, or anyone else, with the details if it is at the discussion stage?

Re: Pitch?! : Wed Mar 18, 2015 3:32 pm  

No need to guess what would happen if it was the Fax board putting together a proposal like this.

Because it's FC Town you won't here a word raised in objection from them, no plethora of FOI's , no personal and family attacks no banner headline claims of "We saved the Shay as a prized community asset" and "The whole world should be grateful".

As I say, book mark this page it's says it all about the real intent from the extremists on the FC Town board and terraces.

They represent no one but themselves, it makes you want to puke.

Because he is an integral part of the consortium.

I agree.

I wonder exactly what the best proposition was?

1. A consortium putting together a secret bid (apart from leakes) that excludes one of the towns sporting clubs, could end up in running the stadium into disrepair and eventually see the demise of both sporting clubs.

2. A businessman putting together a secret bid that benefits both sporting clubs and the whole of Calderdale

Ask bubba if this is the way to foster relations and draw lines in the sand etc????

Don't worry, it's a load of rubbish and a no goer even if a bid has been made (which I doubt.)

Bubba is in denial that a bid even exists, they haven't even got the guts to face the facts when the facts are completely opposite in every respect to their previous well published claims.

If it's true that is.

If it's not true then they are lying.

Either way the rat is in the trap and it has a big "Hypocrite" slogan on it.

Are these the kind of people you would want to have dealings with and trust anything to, never mind a "Prized Asset".

Again if true.

Take a good look CMBC who you get involved with.

Re: Pitch?! : Wed Mar 18, 2015 5:35 pm  

I think it's safe to say something is afoot. I wasn't convinced by the way Tony Abbott went about buying The Shay - and let's be honest, he nearly achieved his goal. Who's to say the council won't see this latest twist through to the end. Fax have pushed them to the limit with not paying rent.

I know nothing about the deal but if what is said above is true we must find somewhere else to play or it could be curtains for us!
