| Isn't the overstewarding something to do with the ground being a Cat B stadium.
ie. Calderdale Council can host international or prestige games in either code
By putting a bid in for the Tonga v Italy & the Leigh v Sheffield game, I assume CC had to prove to various governing bodies their ground was suitable to host these events.
Surely now, the council must downgrade it's stadium rating and review the safety certificate accordingly to benefit both clubs playing semi-pro sport at the Shay, but forfeiting any chance of staging a big game (not that any fan gives a flying proverbial).
If a crumbling ground like Belle Vue with few stewards can operate with few stewards in Super League, then so should Halifax's.
If the council won't budge, shut the South Stand. Simples.
As Bradford council own both Odsal and Horsfall stadium, I think if Halifax were to move, they'd use both venues according to availability/pitch wear

| Wonder were the alternative venue is as Keighley was a red herring ? If it's Odsal then that's me finished.

| Horsfall is nearly as bad as Odsal.I'm a southstander for many reasons but it seems like it's going to be east only..so be it.Moving is not an option.

| Well at least they have spoken and shouldn't be long before the decision.
Looks like the reduced use of the stadium is the best option.
Moving would be a disaster.
I hate ODSAL from a spectator point of view but would still go because I support Fax first and foremost.

| I believe the alternative venue is Batley. I understand they may have even offered us something to play there - assume they will then make revenue on catering etc. I don't believe we make any revenue now on catering and functions at the Shay.

| Club please listen.
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO.
If you move away then you need to budget on away crowds with a few like me watching and then to quickly lose any identity with Halifax with next to no one watching including me if that happened.

| If it is East only then I will not be attending all home fixtures next season as I hate seated stadia. Never ever envisaged the club (even with trying to cut costs due to CC) would resort to been a one stand club sad really. Hope an agreement does come to still play at The Shay though as a move away would be suicidal support would be in the mid hundreds for lesser games

People need to E-mail the club direct to give their views. venting your anger and frustration on here is fine and why we have these forums but when its about our club disappearing the club need to hear it direct ( and constructive)

The club must not take a decision to move out of Halifax without some form of fans forum.It could be that some form of sponsorship of the rent could be arranged etc.

Black Backgrounds/Animal.gif My Humble Opinion Only - let the knockers begin.

| As a 'Fax fan 000's of miles away this is a sad story, I was at Thrum Hall for one of the last competitive games there, Wigan cup game ? , then the move to the shay felt alien, even though I went to watch town play there, Rugby never felt like home turf.
I have followed all threads on this forum, some with amusement some with down right horror and some very astute articles.
I am not sure if this would work and even if the other clubs would agree, Town to play at Natty lane ( if it's not a housing estate now, and 'Fax to Ovenden park (although I seem to have a feeling this has been mooted previously).
The blinkered council could then sell the shay to housing or retail as has been their long held ambition.
One further point on this forum, a few weeks ago rumours of a 'money man' to save 'Fax was doing the rounds, any more word on that ?
Finally and not to be classed as a nerd do well, in Marshall we trusted, hope to holy moly he gets it right next time, if there is one!
