It's about time Bosomworth sorted that eyesore out.No doubt it's imminent

Would you have treated Mr Bosomworth the same way you did TA though

For a lot of people, many who had nothing to do with either club but knew what sort of person TA was and is, this is what it came down to and not any bid.

The personal attacks on him and his family crossed a line for normal decent people, can you not see that or do you just choose to ignore it.

Regardless of what happens to the Shay some of your followers despicable actions and your support as you languished in the glory and limelight will never be forgotten.

As you have stated you don't want any solution other than to see the Shay stay as it is regardless of everything else.

Which in fact as far back as anyone can remember under every council ever, it remains a liability at the an expense to every tax payer in Calderdale with no chance of it changing as long as they are at the helm.

Please go away and watch it slowly crumble.

I can't understand why fans are bemoaning the shay.To me now it is like a palace of which i'm really proud of.Even Preston officials commented
on what a splendid venue it is last night.My time at Shay goes back to the 70s as a nipper when grass/shail/rust were the order of an embarrassing shay stadium so we oldies see it in a different light now.

That's the problem Ian. The half hearted Halifax approach is one of the reasons why both clubs are languishing where they are. Like you I remember when Fax were in SL, Town in't league and even the kick and clap mob were in't 2nd or 3rd tier. How times change.

Personally I think that one good thing has come out of this situation - making the council aware that they have to maximise revenue for what they've got. We've seen an example of that recently with the sponsorship of the East Stand. It has paid for work to be done on the ground with no risk to either club or the tax payer. I'm quite happy for Reactiv to sponsor the Shay, but see no need for them to own it.

And yes, if anyone else tries to buy the ground I'll fight it just as hard - especially if it is the football club's BOD.

You've set yourself up with that comment i'm afraid !!

Some one earlier in the post said Town had been negotiating with the council for this space.
Perhaps during the negotiations Town could have put a curtain up to hide the mess. Come to think of it they could use the blanket they use on match days to cover our very large well stocked trophy cabinet.

With respect it's usually me who has been accused of rose coloured spectacles, head in the ground, etc etc, but I have to say that look out on the ground from the East Stand bar and everything looks as you say. Enter the ground from the South Stand area and as Mr Abbott said it is a disgrace.
Some of the upstairs room are now looking shabby and lets not forget the council promised new drainage an electronic scoreboard and an improvement to the skeleton between the South and East stands. None of this happened and I see no reason why it will in the future. The council will let it fall further into disarray.
As I remember Mr Abbott promised all of this with a reduction in rent for both clubs. How? by utilising the stadium.
But hey, lets not look to a bright future, lets look forward to the days of grass?shale and rust.
The Bubberites/Luddites vitriol was not solely to stop his purchase of the Shay it was also intended to drive him away from HRLFC hence the attack on not only his idea for the Shay but also his integrity over Heartbeat of Sport and worst of all his family.
No disrespect intended to our co tenants.

Was a slight dig at the lack of rent payments by the rugby club over the past 18-24 months, i suspect.
