Quote: Fax4Life "Kicking either of the clubs out of the Shay no matter who or what offer was on the table would be hugely controversial, where would Town or Fax play if that happened somewhere out of Halifax?
That would kill either club lets be honest and as for this non rent payment its all very well Town fans sitting on the higher moral ground at the moment while Town are solvent with a 'money man' and cash from sold players behind them but as a Town fan as well as Fax fan with a long memory this has not always been so and I would not want the roles to be reversed and see Town kicked out, my forlorn wish is for the same from some numpty Town fans who just hate the rugby club but I can't see it sadly.'"
The town fan who has been talking about this on our forum has stated one of the conditions of the offer is that the rugby club are kicked out and never allowed to play there again. He's said it's a football fan backer. Pitch works would be done using the upfront rent, then it'd be 52 weeks of just football, then the pitch leasehold company would be able to get another team in to share as long as it wasn't you.
At least that's what I can piece together from the posts he's made on our board.
It's obviously a wind up, even if there is genuinely such an offer there is no way CMBC would kick either club out. However, hopefully this FOI will allow us to move on from this stupid debate.
