| Quote: HXSparky "Historical ownership of the Shay seems to be shrouded in a little bit of mystery (the Wiki makes interesting reading, but is unproven in it's facts), but it's council owned now, and sadly they don't seem to have the funding/will/desire to keep it in pristine condition. Remedial work will cost far more than ongoing maintenance, but that seems to be the way of the world now.
A bit of a weird debate here, with a lot of "selective" arguments and points being made.
I do follow FC Halifax Town's results and genuinely wish them well, but do find it strange that their supporters call HRLFC the "squatters" at the Shay. FCHT came into being in 2008, at which point HRLFC had been in residence for 10 years at the ground.
HTAFC ceased to exist in 2008, and although there's a strong geographical link to FCHT, the fact of the matter is that the latter has only been in existence for 8 years.
These spats between supporters apart, the respective boards need to bury their ego's and get their heads together for the better future of both clubs.'"
Spot on.

| I agree with Gav on A few things regarding The Shay and Town, the challenges and the opportunities, and the rights and wrongs of Fax's stance, but having said that he is not impartial or unbiased, his leaning is definitely more towards The Shaymens plight, and there is some scarring from Geoffs involvement in Prior attempts at stadium management ventures.
The arguments about who uses which offices, portacabins, players on the pitch, training sessions to me is nothing short of pathetic, there should be a flat rate or simplified pricing/costing for using The Shay facilities, whether you book it for a Wedding reception, end of season do or semi professional sport, never mind pieces of the East Stand or offices in the corner, or shops, maybe the council should shoulder some responsibility for not making the package clearer or more defined. From the outside, the very fact that fax questioned it, leaves me thinking its been like buying rug from a Tunisian. Maybe the cost breakdown is on paper, and follows some logic.
It still feels like Fax are the unwanted tennant down there, and i get incredibly bored talking to Town fans who don't care for RL, because i care for both. God i miss Speedway, life was simpler then, and we were a bloody good side, kick em both out and get a banked track installed and have done with this shenanigans at least we would all have a chance of seeing world class sportsmen and we'd get some global exposure.

| Isn't Bubba related to the person who ran the Shay for years and screwed the East stand project up completely. Can remember at the time there were all sorts of rumours going around. Now paints a fascinating version of history.

Can the honourable poster please consider the use of paragraphs next time as this hurts ones' eyes.
Much love.

| Mick Steele's programme notes today don't make for good reading. You can read all sorts between the lines. None of it good.....
I doubt that putting "Rent" in speech marks and trying to force the council's arm will help - they've already locked us out once! They're not going to buy the veiled threats.
I have the feeling reading it, the arbitration case was nowhere near the success the club wanted it to be, we are stuck behind the eight all and no escape.
Can't see us at The Shay next year and can see this being the start of the end for the club - how can the people of Halifax support a team no longer playing in their town.
It's time for some humble pie to be eaten and our situation to be sorted out. The fans deserve far better then the c*** they've had served up this year. Who would blame the fans if they walked?

| The council won't get rid of us because they are struggling to keep the shay going with two sports using it. Imagine if just FC used it. The shay would be a housing estate in 5 years. Perhaps that's their plan

| Quote: Fax4Life "So IF the Shay was never owned by HTAFC firstly who owned it before the speedway moved in and before CMBC took it over in the eighties???
Oh and if Town never owned it how can Town fans call the rugby club squatters as according to you they don't own the stadium and never did???'"
HTAFC NEVER owned the Shay.

Deluded. The atmosphere was one of the best in Rugby League and I loved going up there but it was a dump. You really think Fax would have upped sticks had it been in good shape?
