If we either found somewhere else to play OR we ended up folding I think it would also be the end of a stadium in Halifax as it could neither be propped up by the council with one tenant, or be purchased to run with one owner.

I do wonder if other shared grounds are subject to the same absolute hatred from joint tenants.

Despite what those silly clowns are cackling about over on their messageboard there is no chance of us being booted out of the shay. The end.

Hear hear...

I'm waiting to see who's playing Widow Ty or Captain Hook in this Pantomime. I'm disappointed in myself for even responding to this thread
Anyway, don't worry, it aint happening.
People can bid, people can speak to legal representatives, its a completely different matter to actually do it.

I shall be putting together a Space Programme during a coffee break tomorrow, anyone interested in any mining work opportunities on Jupiters Moon Europa?

There are two issues here.

One is the two faced double standards of a small group of individuals.

The other is the rent issue which the last statement I heard from the Council was that Fax were up to date and the reasons they delayed in the first place was over a perceived discrepancy over the amount being payed by the two siting tenants.

Apart from that historical context how could this new deal be so arranged as to single out one sitting tenant with one set of rules over the other.

Namely that if Fax failed just once to pay up for whatever reason they would be ejected from the ground permanently.

Furthermore with this in place the Council would be free to set the rent amount to whatever they felt like whilst holding a gun to the head of Fax under the banner of "Pay or Die."

No appeal, no discussion, the last time I looked the Council was democratically elected and not some dictatorship. Again if true.

I've just had my first visit onto their message board and I have to say that there are some bitter twisted folk on there. I accept that this, like our boards, only represent a very small minority of fans, but they are full of bile and hatred.

And lets not forget there are a good number of Town fans on our board who would not support such endeavours, but we live in a democracy, they are entitled to the odd dream, even if its anothers nightmare.

p.s Ships Commander and Mining Operations Manager positions are still available, I want to be CEO though, and its my idea.

Can I be the cook, pie and chips anyone. Best get on thread before the off thread Guardianistas arrive. It's a silly sager not worth discussing, so my only contribution to this subject is to all the Neanderthal's, Bubba and his sycophantic acolytes. As you can see I believe in an adult approach to matter such as this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0e0qYP_PTlY

Wow. Just had a read. I had no idea how rabid they are. I find their diatribe hilarious to be honest.

Just remember, these are just lamebrain Wendyballers who have somehow managed to get past the logon stage of a computer. There's a lot of evolution that needs to occur before they "make it on land".

Personally I never go on their board, it would be like reading the Daily Star, no substance and a lot of t"ts.

None of them seem to understand the long term financial consequence of just having one (them) tenant. If the "pitch buying" consortium simply replace two income streams with theirs the money for the pitch will still have to be stumped up. The council may use these idiots as a foil for getting assured future rent from HXRL but even they are not so stupid as to think that a one tin pot club tenancy is going to be financially viable for the Shay complex.

Non story....forget it!

I've read all this rubbish o. Here and the fundamental question is would Town benefit from an improved playing surface?
I'm probably guessing not so what is the point of the exercise?

Pitch is a mess and the worst part is the footy goalmouth which we don't even play on, so in answer to the tirade about us spoiling the pitch, jog on.

Its a good job Im thick skinned, or a thick *#!$ as they like to put it.

Reading through the pitch thread on the Town forum i sensed a mood of disbelief that the bid could work and that it would be morally wrong anyway.
