To quote the website"Halifax RLFC have today (Friday) signed a long-term license agreement with Calderdale Council to use the redeveloped Shay Stadium.

The move ends months of negotiations between the club and Calderdale Council, and is a significant boost to Halifax's Super League bid.

The agreement spans 10 years and 9 months, which means Fax will be able to file their Super League application next January with the required minimum security of a 10 year lease in place.

Fax will now officially open the Shay's new £5milion East Stand on Sunday week with the visit of Leigh, although the club will have partial use of the facility for this weekend's Northern Rail Cup clash with Hunslet."[/i

Super Duper.

This club is in good hands.

Silly question but I haven't been keeping up to date. You can't use average season tickets for the east stand can you?

Cue the inevitable next question from the wendyballers.........

I assume the limited access this Sunday is the dressing rooms etc. The stand won't be open in anyway for spectators, or for use of the bar or anything?

Great news regarding the agreement with the council and great news also that the east stand will soon be available to both sporting clubs.

Great news. Well done to everyone involved in making this happen.

Great, positive news, that our club is moving in the right direction.

back to getting on what thread about.
very good news for the club/both clubs.

This must mean a agreement as been made over the rent?

One would assume so.

How? I aint a moderator on here. And whilst I dont like banning anyone from theshaymen.net I would have banned the loons on here whose only intent is to wind up the 'Fax supporters.

Regarding the agreement with CMBC, thank god thats all sorted. It will hopefully put an end to the 'rent' bickering and whilst I have said plenty in the past about it, I think the majority of us have got fed up of it and just wanted an amicable end. Afterall, the sensible ones amongst us want both clubs to be successful down at the Shay.

The comment made earlier in the thread "fortunatley for you the council has once again bent over for you" made me chuckle. SST bent over backwards for FCHT. HRLFC have now negotiated their own agreement. OK, it could have been handled better but its now sorted and it sounds as though it strengthen's Fax's case for a place in SL.

Superb news.. Shuts my other post up, and i am glad for it!
