| Quote: Never_Shay_Die "Yes that's right.
This thread was started to acknowledge the council's decision to call off the potentially illegal and undervalued sale of an asset to the Town. As asset that costs less to run and has more potential than the library, theatre and swimming baths. A sale that would have threatened the future of the two clubs by placing unecessary risk on the stadium.
A great decision by the council following the actions of the football supporters. A decision which may have saved your club from extinction or, at least, losing their home.
In contrast you narrow-minded Abbot worshipers were blinded by nothing but love for the man and would happily sell your bodies to him if he spun the right words.
We don't expect a thank you but how can you hate your club so much?
I also look forward to Abbott's sponsorship of an FCHT game in the near future, now that the sale is off.

Completely delusional. ..
I thought it was bubba in front, but your so far up your own.
The stadium will eventually be sold, at a lot less when it's left to decay, why should they upkeep northanand west stands when not used

'"
The Shay was nowhere near full because the stadium has substandard toilets which dont work properly and seating and steps that are damaged and are against health and safety rules. The luddites that follow Halifax Town might fing such things acceptable but most normal people dont. Comments included that people felt the Stadium was in a poor state due to dmamaged seats and poor toilets. Great way to advertize the Stadium and Halifax with such facilities to potential new fans and visitors to the town and stadium  |

| Quote: Never_Shay_Die "Oh really. 3% that's your argument?
It doesn't hold water anyway. What exactly are you basing that on? The average weekly attendances of the two clubs? What about the bigger crowds that turn up for the bigger games? What about the functions at The Shay? What about the 5-a-side pitch, the kids who play tournaments and finals on the pitch? The Staff at The Shay, both employed by the two clubs and the council? All people who have an interest in some form.
How many are regulars are there or those who might only use it once a year, for example?'"
I would class atleast once a month as regular. The Calderdale population is just over 200,000.
3% of 200,000 Now how does this compare to the library, for example, which cost 8x as much to run? How many people use that regularly or in any capacity at all? What potential does it have, especially in today's digital age? '"
The library is used by schools tohelp them learn to read and it also holds local public archives. Also the internet as well as other facilities are available at the library. It serves a far wider part of the community than what you may think. The library also hosts many help and support groups. But luddites like yourself ignore this. ![]()
Did you say WE as in the march on the Town Hall was just Halifax Town fans?
That just shows how one eyed you are as I was in that march along with hundreds of Town AND Fax fans it was a joint effort.
As for selling the Shay was illegal er wrong a senior Council Officer does actually have the power to sell the Shay but this option has not been chosen to make sure the politicians get their say which will go through the right procedures which does not mean that either FC Halifax Town or Halifax RLFC actually have to have a say as they are tenants but will be consulted anyway I am sure.

Absolute child read my WORDS I do not worship Tony Abbott he is a businessman who has a plan for developing the Shay but as I have said before this we can only believe if he produces the goods as in he passes all the necessary due diligence if the Council go down that road which they may be forced to yet as the local population who pay Council tax may have a say as it is losing money FACT.

So Raise the Roof was nowt to do with Halifax RLFC then?
Check your facts. |
