Will be completed within 2 weeks according to Town board.

It was discussed on radio Leeds yesterday when Luke Ambler and Tony Abbott were guests in the studio, @wysdaily on twitter tweeted about it this morning

Interesting. Wonder if all of the revenue generating assets will be sold? What about FCHXTOWN? Jeez, their fans will go into meltdown!!!

Sold to whom ?

I assume Prime Minister Abbott?

The Town fans are in meltdown mode already , organising demonstrations eg ` march on Town Hall is just one of the suggested ideas .

I hope they do demo - I will be there laughing my backside off!

It's good business for the Shay and the greater good for the Shay.

if they start march from shay make sure bars are open so they get extra trade.

Lets not kid ourselves. If the boot was on the other foot we would be equally furious.

I doubt that Mr Abbott, for all the brilliant work he does for us, is buying the shay on Halifax RLFC's behalf. We will still be tenants in a business property, just like town

I agree whilst the Council have done well improving the stadium I still feel the Shay can do better like the corner unfinished bit could make offices or a gym, the events side is just starting to take off and with good service and good food the Banqueting suite can do even more business, the bars are still not realising their full potential yet having Sky is a good move but again could do even more, things like having a food & drink faciity for away fans in or next to the North Stand.
As long as the new Stadium company is run as just that and is not Halifax RLFC or Halifax Town the it is fine by me.

a nice electronic scoreboard would be nice too

Never thought I would post on their forum but I wont sit and let them question Tony Abbott. If there is one person in the world I would trust to own the Shay, it is him!

Why did he not engage the football club and keep them
Informed of his interest. Why such secrecy, I know a councillor and he says that not all councillors know or have been involved or even know of the sale.

And if it is sold what guarantees are in place for FAIR and continued use for BOTH clubs. Will he invest in the required pitch work Needed.

Not here to start a fight , just you surely should understand the football fans scepticism of what's happened so far.
