Just reading the Town forum, someone has suggested they all go to the Italy vs Tonga match and invade the pitch on the 19th minute and have a sit down protest.

I appreciate they have concerns, but writing to the council claiming to represent the views of both clubs, on the back of a few conversations is a little out of order from Bubba IMO.

Could the matter go to a public consultation? With every council up and down the country having to make deep cuts, I think they're in a sticky situation if they don't sell as ratepayers will still have to cover the over heads

What numpties and what is special about the 19th minute. Dont they want to pay less rent and a further developed ground.

I don't know what the 19th minute thing is about.

Have the actual football club made a statement? As opposed to a few fans speaking up?

I think it's more to do if/when tony Abbott wants rid of the shay. If he goes bankrupt the banks will claim it. If he wants to sell it, it will go to highest bidder. Unless there are provisions in place to prevent it going into the wrong hands and not back to the council or a sst type company, then he definitely won't garner my support. It also doesn't help that he didn't bother to engage the board of the football club at all, before going all cloak n dagger to a small handful of councillors.

His intentions may be honourable, but his
Methodology so far hasn't made him many fans of the people he really needs to help get onside.

Glass half empty, never half full.

Probably not. Some town fans just don't like the rugby club. Sad realy. I want to see both clubs doing well. I may be a leeds united fan but Halifax town are my 2nd club. Dont have 2nd rugby club apart from siddal

Re: Sale of Shay : Wed Sep 11, 2013 6:37 pm  

Think they are talking about a protest starting at 19mins and finishing at 21mins which is something to do with the tear the club was formed.....

Seem to have forgot its AFC Halifax 2008.....

They are mostly a Set of idiots on the Town forum, so what I have read doesnt surprise me. They moan and groan about everything their own club does, so no real shock when they moan about Fax or Tony Abbott.
Bubba once again showing his true colours and how pathetic he is. If he and others are so concerned, why dont they actually ask Tony Abbott about their concerns? Have they even bothered to make any form of contact with Tony Abbott? That to me would be more logical instead of getting all paranoid!
Pitch invasions, Save our Shay Campaigns etc is just typical of the smallmindedness and shows how pathetic they all are. Looking forward to reading what Tony has in mind and how it will benefit many not just Fax

Re: Sale of Shay : Wed Sep 11, 2013 6:46 pm  

Tony has stated in his Twitter feed that he met with the Football club 3 weeks ago to outline his plans. So they haven't been kept in the dark as some fans claim.

Exactly. It will benefit town just as much as fax.

Re: Sale of Shay : Wed Sep 11, 2013 6:50 pm  

Well said. Tony Abbott seems to be an approachable person so if they asked for an audience with him to put forward his plans perhaps they might have a different view, but I doubt it.
I do feel that there should be something in place to ensure that the ground cannot be just sold off, I'm sure he does n't want to sell it off but we have no idea what the future will bring.

They could be in it with Abbott but are keeping their heads down in-case the FC fans take a swipe at them.
