Such a pub team they've been on TV a lot more than we have over the last 10 years.
I'll tell you why Town fans are so interested in this - TA tried to buy the Shay and he and others (one councillor in particular) justified it by saying the stadium could not continue to make a 6-figure loss every year. Well, truth is now out that it doesn't lose a 6-figure sum every year, and much of the losses are down to the rugby not paying their rent. Regardless of how much either club is meant to pay, Fax have a contract and have wilfully broken it.
And I suppose many Town supporters do see the Shay as their spiritual home, so for them, to see TA and others say the annual deficit is reason enough for the council to sell, when it is TA's rugby club that's responsible for some of that deficit. Yeah, I think I'd be ed off in their shoes as well.
FC Halifax Town do have a small shop in the portacabin, not a full blown shop as such but still extra floorspace which is part of the equation when you pay rent.
Surely the fairest, most transparent way to calculate the rent would be by breaking it down to a charge for shop/office space and an equal, per match charge for stadium use for each club??
