Nice to see the Courier's reporting of last night is asbalanced as ever.



W*nkers

Are these guys for real? Ive read the report and all it states is what actually happened.

Not to mention about some on that forum say he plans to get rid of the 5 aside pitch. Did they even listen to what he said? Like I say, its like I went to a totally different meeting.

Maybe we should start a petition from tax payers to get the Shay sold. Im sure we could get a lot more names down to sell it than anyone could to keep it council run.

Re: Big mistake : Fri Oct 25, 2013 2:43 pm  

Bubba and his set of clowns dont care what Tony or anybody says. They dont want the sell of the Shay no matter what. This blind stupid reasoning makes them miss all the points Tony has made and how he has looked to inform everybody about things. Its people like Bubba and his crew with their neanderthal attitude to anything which might upset their dreamworld that has seen Halifax end up being a backwater town for such things as Shopping, Modern Sport Facilities, Entertainment etc.

Can the Council Guarentee that they will never sell The Shay? Can the Council guarentee to upgrade The Shay like the Skircoat Stand which is a relic and needs redeveloping ASAP? The Bubba Clueless gang seem to think the Shay should be kept in Council hands no matter what the cost. The Council does not have to waste public money on the upkeep of a Sports Stadium that less than 2000 locals usemost weeks. And why should the Council make cuts on such things as Social Services and Schools whilst throwing away hundreds of thousands of pounds on a Stadium that is useed by so few people? From what I have heard and seen I am happy for Tony to take over the Shay. Its up to him and the Council to make sure the risks are as low as possible and to put in place as many safeguards as needed to make sure that Fax and Football lot play there now and in the future.

Weigh Anchor, Splice the Mainbrace, Hoist the Sails, Steady as She goes, Hold your Nerve Chaps, this storm will pass.

A Noisy Luddite Minority should not dictate to a Metropolitan Borough, nobody is being evicted or ripped off, stay on course Tony, you have the backing of a majority of reasoned tax paying Adults.

Councils should not be spending money on Professional Sports, its value as a Stadium is only relevant to the market and not defined by how much money has been spent or wasted on various attempts to finish it, which is still not complete in my eyes.

Would you trust somebody who runs a payday loan company?
I certainly wouldn't.

More so than someone who set up a payday loan company to make a killing from the desperate

New low on the Town forum today, comparing Tony to Ian Huntley.

These are the people who want the voice to represent their club.

If you look you will find that the individual concerned has quite rightly been condemned by everybody on there

It is quite worrying the mentality of some of the people who are the main protesters though.

I can understand Town fans are desperate but there seems to be no depth to how low some will stoop to criticize. Some still seem to think its a rugby vs football thing, that was apparent last night at the Q & A, but it really does not matter that Fax have been tenants longer than FC Halifax Town or who has gone bust the most times, or any other crap like that. Neither team can be painted in a great light especially recently but it is clear under the council nothing is going to be done with the stadium and in all likelyhood funding will drop further and theres a chance that they will just want to wash their hands of it.

Anyone with half a brain can see at some point in the near future that stadium is going to be put up for sale and at the moment there are no guarentees that it will be for sale as a sports stadium. I just hope if the minority of Town fans get their wish for the stadium to be kept by the council then they have a plan b for when it goes belly up. Strange though Ive got a feeling that the minority wont get their wish.
