Don't get me going again - watch out for Bubba to defend the stadium staff.
This is a big worry for me too, unless they get a proper stadium manager in - PLEASE!

I agree that when the East Stand is complete it will need an experienced stadium / facility manager. I never have disagreed on that. Hopefully the Council will be willing to pay the going rate and significant increase in salary. Hopefully they will be getting the rent paid as well.

Not that old chestnut again.
If the club are not paying then they are out of order and I have to ask why??
But I also have to ask how you know this privileged information as employees of the Council should NOT be sharing this with anybody, its out of order and can be used by the some people the wrong way, like you just have.
I may ask through the Fax Trust to dig more on this, its wrong both if true and you knowing Bubba.

Half of Calderdale seem to know. Was on a Stag Do last Thursday and half of them knew. Also, I was told by someone at a recent Fax Trust meeting that it was discussed there. So Fax Trust may have already done the digging?



Love that comment. You are very selective with your opinions. Love it.

You THINK you know me but you plainly don't, I would never betray my employer unlike some folk. Please do not even try Bubba okay?
You have to ask how do those you mention actually know then???
SOMEBODY has a big mouth and like I said betrayed their position of trust.
As for the fax Trust I am not involved with them anymore.

No doubt when the stand's built Town will be moaning that's somehow wrecked the pitch too and ruining their free flowing passing game!

More selective opinions. Love it



You are worse than Michael Martin MP. More bothered about how it has been leaked than the actual issue in question.

bubba. Stop being so cringey. You are merely trying to upset a happy applecart with your inside knowledge vitriol. If its true, its true. But i won't hold my breath for the pontification of a sad axe grinder.

Bubba,
If true perhaps we should just fold and reform as Rugby Club Halifax. Then we can get away with not paying as many bills as we like.
When Halifax Town or whatever you are called these days goes a few years without failing to pay a bill then you can come on here and moan about HRLFC.

I think a similar topic was going around at the same time last year and the year before. Last year the rent was paid when we got our first instalment from our main sponsor and i would have thought a similar agreement would be in place this year. So yes we may or may not have paid our rent, but it will get paid. I think it is wrong of people to band around rumour, when the full details are not known.

Anyway back on topic, i do hope when the stadium is completed we get a man in charge that can maintain the ground. At present the up keep of the ground is none existant to say the least, it doesnt cost alot to clear the guttering out on the stand so that you dont have to walk through a curtain of water getting into the skircoat, these are just small things that seem to be over looked, do the people down at the shay walk round with their eyes closed? I like many hope when the ground gets finished it remain a ground to be proud of and not left to crumble as is currently the situation

Nat, I am the biggest critic of what happened with Halifax Town AFC, hence why I am such a big supporter of the supporters' trust movement, so you wont be getting a bite from me.

Spot on mate, I think we the fans of both clubs should start probing to see why things are not getting done as surely there is a Health & Safety check and a stadium standard that has to be done - I am certain it comes under the ground certificate so why is the Shay been allowed to get away with it??
This was the reason we had all that cr&p when we were still up at Thrum Hall.

And you ignore things watch my lips I said IF Halifax RLFC have not paid then its not on, okay with you???

Or better still if these things are potentially a problem to your relationship with the controlling organisation a ' volunteer ' day were fans of both clubs turn up once a month to do basic maintenance / cleaning work on the ground

Many hands make light work is the saying is it not

As some of you might or might not know I have made the ' odd ' decision on ground ' issues ' at Leigh

I'm game for a volunteer day but only if I can borrow your hose pipe to jet the gutters

Indeed - who could ever forget Ground Zero - or should that be Ground Nemo?

Good idea I also think there needs to be some kind of 'steering group' that keeps an eye on things and is the link between the fans of both clubs and the stadium staff/Council.
That way the fans will feel more 'involved' and real problems will hopefully get solved!
But again we will need a decent stadium manager to make the Shay be what we all want it to be and not deteriorate into a tip!

boringggg

What do you think the Council's Safety Team do, or arent they doing their job properly either?

Everyone should resign and put you in charge given your experience and knowledge in everything. I bet Matt Calland is looking over his shoulder with fear.

Why do you make this so personal?
Take off your blinkers mate, this is a fans forum and I am expressing my view as a fan of both clubs and a local who wants the best for us all at the Shay.
Did I say I was an expert? No I made a suggestion thyats all, please stop this stupidity.

Isnt it time Bubba, whoever you are (we have not met, thankfully) stopped s-it stirring on here and concentrated on his beloved FCHT who have just announced their opening fixture ( on the 11th July if they can raise a team for Halifax) against a top team, Brighouse Town!!! I`m sure that will pack e`m in and they may well lose to a team of amateurs.
There are certain people who "work" down at the Shay and get paid very good money for not a lot of effort.We can all see the place is not being well maintained and perhaps Mr B Snr could spend some time picking up litter an doing a bit of painting rather than sitting round drinking cups of tea and passing information on to all and sundry via his sad relatives.
I presume he is still on the scene, or is he taking part of his 8 week annual leave? Paid for by us the ratepayers of Calderdale

Not boring,a valid point i think. Why are some people always negative

Blimey, how many inaccuracies do you want to make in one post?

Such an aloof demeanour is not becoming of someone with so much bile to spout.

But that`s not entirely his fault he`s used to the Wendyball board where it apears anything goes.

Also as far as I remember the fans have been down there before doing all the fencing etc and with much ceremony (including picture in local paper)all the work was handed over to the Stadium Trust to keep up to.
Unfortunatly they let it go to rack and ruin again.

Mal keeps reminding me of the day that me and my young 'un came over to help paint the fencing all that time ago.
