[quote="Bubba":zlpf35g4]Id like to think the concerns cover the best interests of both clubs, but fair enough. I remember years ago when Ian Griffiths and I arranged the public march from the Shay to the Town Hall to demonstrate against the selling of the Shay. Shows what can be achieved when working together.[/quote:zlpf35g4] I've been informed from a good source that the council , sst , the panthers , davy are all working together to negotiate what's best for everyone involved, is this not the case ?

[quote="Bubba":jb47g95j]Unlikely.[/quote:jb47g95j] Strange , my understanding ( which of course could be wrong ) is that people associated with the rugby club were interested in the running of the shay but when davys proposal came through they acknowledged that getting the ground up to spec would accelerate that position and to protect themselves from the risks you've mentioned covenants have already been agreed.

Wouldn’t they think that the clubs themselves would want the same things in place and get things as watertight as possible? Sounds like any securities that include the Shaymen will be okay and any that don’t won’t be to me.

I can't speak for db and it must be frustrating having an owner who is moreorless mute. I can only speak for the information I have which is obviously rugby based and I would be very shocked if they entered into an agreement which jeopardised the future of the club . Having said that the power players are the council and davy so anything is possible.
