I'd rather the council keep hold of it and improve its running efficiency before holding out to a highly scrutinized public bidder. The fact that TA has not revealed how much money has been offered (rumoured to be way way below it's net realisable value) combined with him dealing in a quick buck industry has helped fuel fear amongst football fans, and understandably so.

I thought the 5 - a side made a load of money for the Shay ?

A café at the Shay really where? Now you are an expert on the demand for gyms, blimey you really are the knowledgeable one you know everything so do you know the lottery numbers for Saturday then?
You must be Gavin Butler.

On hunger hill, believe it or not it is called "The Shay Cafe". And as a member of one of the four gyms withing walking distance of the centre of town I can confirm the existing gyms are never full. Believe it or not there is such a thin as having friends, and my friends are at other gyms and they aren't full either. This smacks of the proposed addition of a bowling alley at Broad Street. Not needed.

And I believe Bubba already has an account on here? not sure why he'd need another. I suggest you google Super Geoffrey Horsfield.

You lost all your credibility there. No need to lie on here about having friends. Maybe you could make some at the Cafe Tony will open when he takes over the Shay. He might even provide a job for you.

You are completely missing the point and either were not at the meeting or, like most of the FCHT fans present, did not do Mr. Abbott the courtesy of listening to him. The point of opening a cafe, gym and creche was primarily to cater for the 350 people who would be working at the Shay should his plans come to fruition. This in turn would plough money back into the Shay which, in case you missed this as well, would be run by a totally new company seperate from Reactiv Media with any profits going back into the Shay to eventually make it self-financing.
