The only money our board have put in is 34k to start up the club, that is it. But clearly you're on the wind up and trying to get people to believe your falsities and possibly even you fantasies. I'm not going to pretend we could run the club without them, because I think we need the stability they've given the club, but they have not put any money in apart from starting up the club. We earned £100k from reaching the FA Cup first round and being televised in 2011 and over £400k from the sale of Jamie Vardy including sell on clauses.

1. There never was an idea of selling it. I'm not sure where you've got that idea from? Tony Abbott made a bid that the council aren't proceeding with. I could have a meeting tomorrow about buying the Piece Hall, it doesn't mean that the council are thinking about selling it.

2. He thanked Reactiv Media because they're keeping one club solvent and the discussions are with them perhaps? I'm sure if you applied your brain a little you'd realise just as much without having to be told.

3. Our board, last I heard, were looking into the legalities of the matter, and therefore doing the wise thing of keeping quiet, unlike TA and Reactiv who were telling every man and his dog that they were buying the Shay. Remember the infamous 2-3 weeks away tweet?

4. Because with the ACV in place the council have to inform any trusts if the ground is put on the open market and a bid has been accepted. If the council went over the top of the ACV anyone involved in the sale would be out of a job.

I'm sure the council will be happy to sell the Shay to me when I win euromillions.

1. There never was any idea of selling it well why have you and the self appointed Town group been so active in doing everything you can do to stop it and produce a pack of lies about TA.

Do normal people who want to "debate" something act like that if there was never anything to worry about, clearly if you took on your own advice and applied your brain a little you'd realise that without having to be told.
Or perhaps you do need to be told applying my brain a little.

Why put the ACV in place if as you now say the council were never thinking of selling, can you not see the blatant contradiction in what you say in point 1 and point 4 of the same post!

And you mention brain power.

2. Ah, you accept he thanked Reactiv then but if it is just for what you say why did he not thank the Town BOD for keeping the other club solvent? Unless of course he thought FC Town were not as important.

3. The last you heard from your board!! Well it must have been a whisper because noboddy else heard a single thing, i agree it was very wise to keep quite if you haven't got a clue what to say.

TA was telling every man and his dog about buying the Shay!!!

What happened to the accusations from you and your crew that stated negotiatons were being done in secret, illegally behind closed doors and people would lose there jobs. Another contradiction.

You ask people to enter a debate but you clearly can't even keep track of what you and your mates are saying from one day to the next.

Change your name to just Geoff, the super bit has just fallen off like everything else of poor quality.

Have the Town group appointed you as their spokesman or is this another self appointment, surely there must be someone better to champion the cause, surely your not the best thev'e got.

Oh dear Jon. Each post you make just makes you look more ridiculous.

If Mr Ham and Bosomworth were 'tipping money' into the club, at least it has ensured the club is solvent and up to date with its rent. However, if you check the financial returns for the last few years - in fact since the club was founded - you will see that Directors Loans have not increased. As someone often seen on the terraces at the Shay for the football you should know that the football club sold Jamie Vardy for a decent return which is the main reason why the club shows as having cash in the bank.

It has been proven that FCHT is self sufficient, at least at the moment. This doesnt mean that it wont become dependent on the club owners putting in their own money but so far, so good. Not an ideal situation but I have become to realise that the owners are men of principle and not full of wind!

Yes the negotiations started in private, but the second he came public with it was the beginning of the end for him. Since then Reactiv have tweeted every media company you can think of with this. "@SkyNews hey guys, big story coming in Halifax. Reactiv creating jobs in the local community through buying The Shay. bit.ly/17R8GZY" Obviously cold calling isn't enough for Reactiv, show he's had to resort to cold tweeting. whocallsme.com/Phone-Number.aspx/01422387710/5

Great post, Gavin.

Thanks dad.

Get to bed. Past your bed time! Need your beauty sleep in preparation for MK Donalds.

Have a logged on to shaymen.net by mistake??

I am happy to hear the Town are in the black as having seen them struggle over 40 years especially in the late seventies and eighties but come on you saying that the Town Board don't fund them at all, even this season?
While you are on here Gavin tell me how many does the Halifax Town Supporters Trust represent now and how is it constituted, when are its meetings and what is its purpose?

What a joker me on the wind up says the man with the biggest agenda going by the fact you come on here spouting like you KNOW IT ALL?
You don't seem to realise that I too am a Halifax Town fan probably for longer than you and through some sh*t times like re elections to the football league, three relegations and seeing sub 1K crowds so don't accuse me of anything big gob.

Well you seem to thing the town directors are putting money into the club. Are they really? I've been a town fan since the early eighties and at the time I was going down the Thrum Hall too.

I think its when a rugby fan starts bringing his football affiliations the he knows he's lost.

Come over to the light, the land of profit and success. You know you want to.

Theses have been good times for Town and good, but if they stay where they are for two or three seasons they WILL rely on the Board as Towns support at home is cr^p and they cannot survive on the crowds they are getting alone. Football money is spread out better than RL so Town have benefitted from that and again good.
But remember the old club went bust cos the club has always lived on scraps so as I say these are good times but how long will they last?
