Told by who? FCHT supporters? Hardly impartial are they? They are only ever prepared to believe anything negative about Fax and that, apparently, includes yourself.

The only statements regarding the alleged pitch leasing bid have come from Peter Noble (Flea) and he is totally obsessed in his hatred of all things Fax. Even Bubba said on your forum that he had mentioned it to 2 councillors (IIRC) and they laughed and said that no such bid existed.

This has now been going on for over a month since it was first mentioned and nothing has materialised so you will forgive me for being sceptical.

Rabidly obsessed and hypocritical to the 9th degree.

I should imagine they cause much embarrassment to most Town fans

To be honest I don't know what to believe.Flea has just posted that Fax have made a recent significant payment towards the arrears,so hopefully this issue is now put to bed.

I bet he is seriously annoyed at that! How inconsiderate of them.

Edit: Just read the updated string. Those guys are bleeding hilarious! Firstly, they state that the rumour about the bouncing cheque came from a Fax fan, not quite true, it came from an alleged fan of both clubs who heard it from FCHT fans. Secondly, they think that the imaginary pitch bid put imaginary pressure on Fax to pay up the arrears. So now Flea will try to take credit for something that no-one other than him has any proof actually exists and that proof has yet to be released.

Fair enough,but you can drop that bit.
Who else was daft enough to go to both last Friday's games at great expense and a soddened son.

Only half daft. The decision to go to Odsal was remarkably intelligent.

I see they've now done their usual trick. When comments start getting libelous they move the string to a Members Only area.

Incidentally, I can't believe that Fax actually have their own sub-division on there where they can rip into us without the distraction of a 2-sided argument. How sad is that? Can you imagine us having a "Sod FCHT" section?

[quoteOnly half daft. The decision to go to Odsal was remarkably intelligent. Certainly was for 39 mins.

Can't be ars-d.
I have said many times on this forum that I dislike with a passion anything to do with the "sport" of football, but wish FC Halifax every success as they carry the name Halifax ( do you know they are not allowed to display the Halifax crest) unlike us.
But after all their recent vitriol I am beginning to change my mind.
Play offs slipping away?
O'h dear

Nothing much to see in the private forum. I think anyone is free to sign up but when you post do expect to get a lot of abuse from about 3 or 4 individuals who are possibly old enough to know better but there is some interesting discussions on there from a few others who can actually get a point across without resorting to abuse.

Had a meeting with the Councillor Leader and the manager of sport services. As you say, neither claimed to know of any such bid and I got the impression that whilst they have their frustrations with the rugby club (and I am sure with FCHT at times too) there does exist a good working relationship with a desire by all parties to move the Shay forward positively.

That's good to hear, Bubba, because the bad feeling in my opinion is holding both clubs back. Can you imagine what could be achieved if the 2 clubs could work together? I can live with criticism of Fax when its deserved but some of the comments from an, admittedly, small number of FCHT fans are completely out of order and, in some cases, simply untrue.

I have said before, I don’t get some of the hatred. And it was there way before anyone even contemplated sharing grounds. The rugby and football clubs are not rival teams they play different sports. BUT they both represent the town of Halifax, play in the same colours, at the same ground. It should make shared marketing, shared sponsorships, joint fundraising events, etc. so much easier and maybe save on some expenses, but hey maybe that’s too much like common sense.

I couldn't agree more.

Who told you that rubbish?

your supposed to tell him he's talking bollox..
The current board of FCHT decided when the club reformed that they would have a
new crest for a new identity.This was not a popular decision(especially for people who had recent had a tattoo done of the old crest )
