7 pages on a baseless rumor spouting venom against a group that have not even inroduced themselves to the Fax fans let alone announced a wish to buy the Shay and kick Town out. You really could not make this up.

Another thing I always chuckle at is something that is often repeated on their board(and if its on there it must be true like every other Fax rumor) is that all Fax fans were happy with Tony Abbott's attempts to buy the Shay which is not true in the slightest.

What makes me smile is that if we hadn’t sold Thrum Hall and moved to the Shay the council would never have put the amount of money into to make what is great little stadium. Both Town and Fax would be playing in rundown old and dilapidated grounds. Just like Cas, Wakefield and the Bulls.

As I said if Fax hadn’t moved down the council wouldn’t have put so much in. And also monies from the rugby league World Cup help develop the North Stand. Many town supports forget that Fax and their presence there has helped get the improvement the stadium needed

I know quite a few folk on the Town forum and they are mostly good lads with their club at heart if though some are slightly deluded and will never have owt good said about Fax. There are however, a good amount on there who are nobbut dick heads!

Another question is.

Wherever it is to be found, why in this era where tolerance and movements against discrimination and hatred of every sort are at the forefront can any group be allowed to have multiple pages of precisely that without no actions being taken by the moderators and those responsible for running the site?

You will always get people that react like that you come across them in life in general so sport is no different. Its disappointing that relations between the 2 clubs couldn't be better and that they couldn't work together for the benefit of both teams. On a side note it as gone very quite since the announcement last friday of the club getting new owners. I am not having a go at anyone but surely when you make a announcement that i class as a fan big news for the club you need to back that up with more info for the fans to get there teeth into or am i being too impatient.

I genuinely believe they were forced to announce it early , last Friday I was talking to the sponsors of joe Keyes and mick gledhill on Twitter around 2ish , they were both saying that a takeover was imminent then another journalist Ian laybourne announced it around 2:30pm , that coupled with rumours on here probably forced their hand and an official announcement at 3pm by us . As previously mentioned our media team are away and believe they will be involved with any promo the club have . I also noticed on fb the other sponsor Deliveree wasn’t happy as he had invested a lot of money and it appeared he wasn’t aware of the takeover and that it wasn’t official yet in legal terms . It also make me wonder why the re - signing announcements dried up and if the potential takeover had any bearing on this . It is frustrating and does lead to speculation but I’m sure things ll be sorted one way or another soon .

Thanks for that link listen up. Out with the old and in with the new. There is a lot of change to manage . My understanding is the new board has a majority share holding and not an absolute one but time will no doubt tell us the facts. Certainly dont think the new board will remotely have the inclination or the finances to consider the stadium. Total false rumour in in my view

Well the football side with new signings seems to be working seamlessly

Sheffield just announced signing of Ollie Roberts, the team/coach I dislike the most look to be putting together their strongest squad for a while. On another note looks as though Brad Knowles has been picked up by Doncaster, glad he got sorted after such a s****y year.

Sheffield's last two signings won't have come cheap, how do they do it on crowds of a few hundred i wonder? They must have a money man in the background, unless maybe the RFL are helping them with their expansion policies?
