| Quote: faxcar "Don't forget the repair bill to pitch that Town add to the maintenance costs every year after a full winter season of using it and then try and blame the rugby club despite the fact that it is in perfect condition when we have finished playing on it.'"
certainly true this season but a friendly v Shudds knackered the pitch for the final 3 months of football season a couple of years ago.

| Quote: Bubba "You really dont think moving the club 13 miles down the road would make a difference? People support HRLFC because of the 'H' bit...Halifax. It is a club representing our town. The more casual supporter, who wakes up on a Sunday morning and decides to go to a match, may well not be bothered if they have to make more of an effort (and greater expense) to get there? It could well affect sponsorship too along with commercial income.
I am sure as well that 'with the ground in its current state' the Shay is still superior to Post Office Road. I would be interested to know what gross profit Fev make from their stadium, if anything. On the whole the Shay deal for the clubs isnt bad for what is included in the monthly rent.'"
You are presuming that moving 13 miles down the road is the only option. It isnt.
Fev make every penny of anything that is sold in their ground, what do Fax and Town make?

| Quote: Bubba "I wasnt on about pitch usage although it is comparable. I was talking about actual usage of facilities - office space, shop space, laundry, etc.'"
I thought Town were refusing to move out of their condemned offices? Maybe health and safety should have a nosey in there eh?
As for the shop, the town fans have a go at Fax for taking the pee but come on, that is one big joke.

| Quote: Bubba "I think you will find those guessed figures incorrect.
Do you know how rent is worked out? Its not based on what is 'the most important thing'. Does a shop in the town centre pay more rent for the shop area than its store room or office space?
Erm yeah............

| From Bubba's figures, the number of players on the pitch for Fax maybe greater but they are spread out more, proof of this is the pile of a goal area which in my opinion was massively to blame for Miles Greenwood's broken leg. The middle of each penalty area are a constant mess, the same with most lower league football pitches.

Why? What extra facilities? Also Town play well over 30 games when Fax play around 20 tops including reserves

| Quote: Bubba "Fax have complained for a long time about pitch usage and have been proven wrong. Though I am happy for them to prove me wrong.
Going back to the 2013/14 season (when Fax first bleated to the local press about pitch usage and unfair rent charges) the Shaymen used the pitch 25 times.
(Games x players on pitch x length of match
Old news and now inaccurate ask yourself how many games did Town play at home last season compared to Fax? Plus do Fax still use that gym under the south stand?

| Also do Town have to play away from the Shay mid season every year for pitch improvements without any compensation? No but Fax do and they lose out as no income for 6 weeks then several home games on the bounce with lower crowds as fans get out of the habit of going and cannot afford 3 or 4 games back to back but you never mention that do you?

And Fev have no stadium running costs (rates, utilities, telephones, pitch maintenance, stadium maintenance, stadium manager, etc)? So please, let me know what the gross profit of stadium income against stadium costs Fev make?

I agree that it is a very difficult situation for Fax and some blame should be apportioned to those who owned/ran the club when they failed to invest in Thrum Hall, allowed it to become a dump leaving you with no option but to move to a football stadium.

How many games did FCHT play, how many games did HRLFC play, how many non 1st team games did either club play, how many training sessions did each club have?
I take it the gym is now empty of anything to do with HRLFC?

| It's not a football stadium though is it!!!!! It's a community sports stadium where rugby and football is played and should be fit for purpose.Fax have been at the Shay for 18 years. What long gone previous owners of the club allegedly did or didn't do prior to that is irrelevant.
