You don't trust the people who run our club? Have you any idea who runs HRLFC? Do you know them? I've never heard anything so stupid.

Our club is run by local successful businessmen who love the club and do it for no financial benefit.

Do I correctly understand that the stadium fiasco over the last few years has been run by someone close to you? How you can therefore talk about other people making a mess of things is beyond me. It has been said on this forum and in the paper that the reason the stand isn't open now is due to the the huge snagging list the amount of things that aren't fit for purpose. Where is the guy that is supposed to be sorting all of this out....oh, he jumped ship a few months ago didn't he? There are a few people who have taken a lot of money out of the stadium shambles, but seemingly now no one is accountable for mistakes.

Go back to your pub football and stop throwing stones over here.

Yes there are many who use this forum that know many things about the fiasco that is the Shay Stadium but choose not to air it on a public forum .It`s people like Bubba that sometimes make me wish our club had not helped Town out by paying half their rent when they were in the usual mire.Did we ever get it back I wonder?

I actually think Michael Steele is an extremely nice and decent bloke as is Howard Posner. I cant comment about the others.



Never said they do do it for financial benefit. They do it for all the right reasons.



As far as I know, Duncan left to go to Bradford Council to work on the Odsal Project.

And the recipient of the Council letter has asked me to put the following on.

Why don`t you go mind your own on your own forum ,there is no wonder your own Town Board will not have anything to do with you or your Supporters Trust.

I think its this quote that has got them in a frenzy.



Unfortunatley the numptys from Town have taken this to mean we are in arrears when in fact its a pretty standard terminology used by many financial companies.
When will we get to see the original letter and why is the person who sent it a bit shy to have it put on one of the forums?
Id also like to see some comments from HXRLFC like they have in the past to dispell rumours like this and the Aizue one. That is unless they are true.

Well as this ex councilor is thinking of the ratepayers of this Town and does not want the rugby club to go the same way as the Town lot maybe he`d like to publish some more information along with the letter.So the ratepayers are at ease with how this Town is being run and our councilors are beyond reproach (unlike the MPs in Westminster ) would he like to publish his old itemised expense claims along with those of the rest of his cronies so we can see some transparency in the council.Also could we have proper explanations about how this Town is run like a complete shambles eg Broad St. refuse collection and the most damning of all the poor vunerable children in our Town.
Nothing to do with this you might say? Well we don`t regard this item on rent you have posted up either as anything to do with you.I am surprised the man has nothing else better to do with his time given children at risk are being ignored wonder how many letters he`s written to the council about that subject.

go away and enjoy your FC town forum.

I can't believe the rubbish that some people will post to stir things up on the eve of potentially our best season in nearly 25 years. As I understand it anyway any rent arreas arise from the fact that the club refuses to pay more than the football club for less access.

The latest accounts show a (very) small profit. The clubs credit ratings are more of an issue because they can't raise capital investment. We are also listed as "company in trading difficulties" but so is every Super League team, most of the FA premiership and every professional sports club beyond that. Running a football or rugby club tends to be a hand to mouth existence at every level.

and as for the club having to jump up and deny everything or else it must be true - thats ridiculous. Every Tom, Dick or Bubba who makes something up then gets the prestige of a response which would see them just make up more and more s**t.

I trust our board to run the club properly, that doesn't mean that we will always be rolling in cash. I'd like to be able to trust our "fans" to concentrate on supporting the team.

On we go........

Excelant post , in fact I along with most Fax fans will dig a bit deeper to ensure we have a brilliant season.

Great post.

To be honest im very disappointed that there are people who continually want to bring down Halifax RLFC. Ive always wanted the football team to do well obviously because we are all from Halifax, but you get sick to the back teeth of these football fans putting the rugby down all the time. I now almost find myself wanting them to lose so i can reciprocate, which is wrong.

One thing is for sure, if the Fax didnt relocate to the Shay the football team wouldnt exist as the council would never have developed the stadium for them. It had to be a joint venture. So if there are any football fans who feel bitter towards the rugby club can i suggest that they go away and stay away from this Halifax RLFC topical forum.

The lack of knowledge on here never ceases to amaze me.
