After this he wonders why the Fax board don't want to co operate with him.

At least HRLFC aren't fundamentally a force for evil. WHAT.
In which way are we a force for evil.

You won't be forgiven.

Abbot has no integrity, but you have with this public outburst using language like that:?
For the rugby and football clubs and the Town of Halifax you are a major

Every year at the end of our season the pitch looks perfect. Then at the end of their season it looks terrible. How they can be so deluded astounds me.

In was to do with this part of the statement Mr T.

"Then when there's no sign that they will ever want to cooperate with any schemes to improve the pitch, or donate a penny of their own money towards the Shay's shortcomings that they're just as loud at condemning, it makes me think they deserve whatever they get."

It makes out that all the pitch problems are all down to the rugby club after just 3 home games.

It critically singles out TA and portrays all the Fax board as villains and it would be better if they were all removed.

"I won't deny that there's a part of me that wants the eggers to stay out of our ground.

Our ground!!
It's suddenly not owned by the council and is not a community asset it just belongs to FC Town.


Sorry for my ignorance but who is Pliny Harris and who do they actually represent because with an approach like that co operation is the last thing they will get:?:

Pliney is an articulate and level headed character.His post typified the mood on the town board that although not a rugby fan he doesn't want to see fellow sports supporters suffer and the bid process is beginning to sit uncomfortably with an increasing amount of Town fans.

Okay.
So the fellow sports supporters that he does not want to see suffer are Fax fans in this case and that sentiment is echoed by the Town board?

To remove this suffering it would help if the Fax board were removed and replaced by people who would pay out of their own pockets whatever he or the Town board decided was right so the pitch was in suitable condition for them to play a decent game of football on even though it's the councils job to get the pitch fit for purpose as far as is reasonably possible.

This is in a stadium that he calls "theirs" even though it's not.

His level headedness is reflected by using comments over a sports pitch such as.

"Halifax RLFC isn't fundamentally a force for evil" and even that generous allowance is done through his pig-headedness.

In his own words these articulate and level headed comments are based on 17 years of biased thinking.

He says that the Fax board are keen to point out the short falls of the stadium and yet do nothing about them.

Well out of all that he said which bits are the positives, the " This is what he will do for the good of the ground" because I can't see any of it.

Anyway at least I feel a lot easier now knowing he is articulate and level headed, thank God he's not an extremist.

No matter how uncomfortable it gets for Town fans please do not resort to the tactics used when a different take over was being hatched.

Re: Pitch?! : Thu Mar 19, 2015 7:12 pm  

Reading the review of the offer posted up now, it's staggering!

Still, if the council need the rent money and are desperate for it!

Questions though, who would want to be a second long term tenant with them after this, what happens if FC can't pay their rent, apart from the ignomy of putting a sporting club out on its ear, (back pats all round), who gains what from it?

Maybe we should get the RFL to buy The Shay as they did Odsal - would we be iconic enough?

To be fair our season is usually played in a lot better weather than theirs but what some of them can not seem to get their heads around this year is the fact that the pitch was knackered long before a game of rugby was played on it.

O'h they know, but why let the truth get in the way of bile?

Re: Pitch?! : Thu Mar 19, 2015 8:49 pm  

That's it. This has little to do with the pitch. It was knackered before we touched it in 2015. It was terrible before Fax moved to the shay (I played junior football finals there twice in the 90s, and it was barren and sandy then...in April). The Town fans know this.

The is an excuse for them to spout bile. They are continually disaffected. This week the pitch, next week the rent, week after the chips
