A brawl in Tesco's over a MB post sums it up for me

The rent dispute between the RL club and Calderdale that only they know the full facts about that would have to be paid anyway and has nothing to do with the soccer club and who decides what is reasonable an unreasonable few soccer fans.

4.the directors at the time of the move always said they paid the money as promised and have always said so. wonder where it went.

Fair questions.

No, I haven't posted positive quotes. The thread Freddy mentions was about the rent arrears so I considered it pertinent. If there had been a thread about attitudes to each other I may have done so. However, I have spoken positively on there about the attitudes of some of the posters on here, I try to keep a fair balance.

Yes, there is some positivity from some posters on the boards towards the rugby club. The board contains a wide range of opinions on most subjects.

I can't answer for other people if you want fact, but if you want my opinion then I'll give it. I think Mr T Hall sums it up well, from the things I've read. Another example I saw was the 'tunnel' issue. The football club needed a tunnel, asked the rugby club if they wanted to share the costs and the rugby club said no. Then when the football club bought it the rugby club asked to use it. I don't know if that's fact, just an example of what I've read.

It's petty and minor, but lots of petty and minor things can lead to bad blood between groups over time if they build up. It's a shame on all sides.

I also think the way the offer was made for the Shay created mistrust. Fair enough Reactiv don't have to tell people their plans, but when you want the goodwill on your side with joint tenants a lot of this could have been avoided.

Like I say, just my thoughts. I can't speak for anyone else.

Part quote.
" I think Mr T Hall sums it up well, from the things I've read."

Is that it then, the entire "case" against the RL club by a few Town fans?

"Another example I saw was the 'tunnel' issue.

The tunnel issue, what tunnel issue.

Town. Fancy going halves on a tunnel?
Fax. NO.
Town. Okay we'll get one ourselves.
Fax. Can we borrow your tunnel?
Town. NO.
How do you even remember such things?

"I also think the way the offer was made for the Shay created mistrust."

Not the offer that was not a real offer because it was a couple of paragraphs on an A4 piece of paper that never required deeper discussion because CMBC rejected it.

"Fair enough Reactiv don't have to tell people their plans, but when you want the goodwill on your side with joint tenants a lot of this could have been avoided."

Fact is TA did call a meeting to discuss the plans for the Shay and to tell people about them had CMBC been interested.
Fact is some Town fans will never trust TA or reactiv and never will and will never offer goodwill of any kind to the RL club.
Fact is all the bad blood has been coming from one direction, a small group of Town fans, the real nasty bits the RL fans have reacted to, without the nasty bits it could have all been avoided.

Do what you like, it will change and affect absolutely nothing.

Fact is Fax are playing at the Shay against Batley this week and for the rest of the season.

Sadly no i do have a certain bias against a certain teams supporters not too far away apart from that peace & love to all even clowns and Leythers

Let’s get one thing straight, FC Halifax Town are relatively new tenants at the Shay who moved in paying less than the standing tenants. They are not the team that were in residence when HRLFC moved in. In fact they . If they want to claim to be the original tenants, how about paying the rent they owed when they liquidated.

From the club website :

Halifax Council has today issued the following Press Release;

“The Council is very pleased that HRLFC has paid off a substantial amount of the arrears allowing it access to all facilities at the Shay Stadium. The Council and HRLFC have made a commitment to discuss how we can move forward and work together as we remain committed to supporting the Shay to be a thriving sports venue”.



In response the Club has stated;

“HRLFC are delighted to have agreed with the Council that as regards any invoiced charges which may be outstanding in respect of the Shay, the position of each party is reserved. We look forward to taking part in discussions to secure a fair and final resolution of all remaining issues relating to the use and occupancy of Stadium facilities by the Town’s two professional sporting clubs.”



Season 2014 is extremely important to the Club with the re introduction of promotion and relegation in 2015. The teams that finish in the top two this season will receive additional funding to allow them to compete that much better in 2015.



The Board of Directors and friends of Halifax RLFC have invested heavily this season hoping for success and the attendance at our first game of the season was disappointingly low. If fans want to see Halifax RLFC with a chance of playing in Super League they now need to get behind the team by supporting us in larger numbers, especially over the next month when we play at home, those teams who seem to be our greatest rivals

Cue the luddites. If we have been given access all facilities, does this mean that we did have access either removed or threat of removal? If so does this add fuel to the rumour that FC Halifax have a mole on the inside?

I don't know what you mean about the mole, but, if we haven't been paying our way then we haven't been paying our way in my book.
