Bet your bosses are delighted with that last paragraph, knock off knobjockey

Jeez some people will turn over every single stone in the land to unearth something that justifies their position which is abundantly clear - we do not like the rugby club and anybody associated with it.
Reactiv are on the whole a data cleanse, marketing and media company mostly and not a pay day loan company, you seen any adverts about that at all anywhere???
Town are doing pretty well and as a football and rugby fan I am chuffed, but face the facts Town are in the 5th level of football and at best would do okay in League 2 but that's as far as they will go.

Hey guys, don't waste your time upsetting yourselves on other forums. At last nights meeting it was nice to hear sensible and genuine questions all round and it was important that true town fans and followers of both clubs had a voice. Both clubs unfortunately have an element that we should not be proud of but that's apparent everywhere, not just exclusive to Halifax. The greater good will come to the fore and Tony Abbott will purchase the Shay in my view. At the end of the day we both will benefit from a superb complete sporting facility that the town can be proud of as well as receiving a substantial reduction in rent. Cant see the problem myself! Some people out there need to grow up.

Good luck to both clubs, this is what we need in my view.

Go away.

Most town fans do not want the registered director of "want a payday loan Ltd" in charge of the Shay for a number of reasons and this won't change right up until a decision is made.

The coming days/weeks will be interesting but one things for sure; a successful bid would look to be a huge gamble and risk for both clubs (upside or down) and it's obvious that the rugby fans are more willing to take this due to their clubs forced stagnation.

Town bellend.

The only problems you Neanderthals have is that he's connected to the rugby. It's in every retarded comment and every daft accusation. You're a sad bunch of losers with a history of loser mentality. In your previous posting history on here you come across as being a Halifax RLFC fan and then a Town Clown. You are one sad individual - along with Eliot Walsh and his cretinous band of twitter degenerates.

Reading your drivel and the rubbish spouted by the rest of your Wendyball gang has made me wish it even more that Abbott gets his hands on the Shay. What will happen to FC Halifax then? Sweet fack all - you'll just carry on as before and you'll be so surprised when the sky doesn't fall in.

Why don't you spend more time making sporting Halifax clubs a success instead of littering the social media with pathetic poisonous rantings. Go and make your existence worthwhile.

Who's doing the name slinging now?

To reiterate what was said, the sale would be a risk (upside or down) for both clubs whether you like it or not. Given the football clubs recent history this is not wanted, contrasting with the rugby which is in need of a shot to the arm. You shouldn't be so sensitive.

But it is`nt just about the football and rugby the stadium is supposed to be a Community facility and there should be facilities for other groups to use it . Why doesn`t our Town deserve decent facilities like other Towns have?

It seems to me Nigel that you are clearly looking at trying to antagonise people. Believe it or not but some of us want both clubs to be successful, yes! even rugby fans. Its my belief that this whole anti Abbott witch hunt has absolutely nothing to do with the man as an individual or even his personal business dealings which you seem to be an expert in. This has everything to do with his connection as joint Chief Executive of Halifax Rugby League. Honestly! Its a really sad situation. Had Tony done this independently of any connection with Rugby League then may I suggest that he would have been embraced with open arms by all.

You sound like a friendless guy who will be in care soon. Go away and I will donate a shilling to that care via paypal.

You know what it is people like this guy who make me think that whilst I am hugely proud of my town it is held back by negative people who cannot see anything good in change and want to have their two penneth worth in everything cos they are always right in their eyes when they are actually often wrong. Small minded small town people.
AMBITION is not a word I associate with Halifax sadly, yet things do happen despite these dinosaurs and when it does they all go 'how good is that', it will be the same when the new library is built and opened, people will love it and wonder why all the fuss?
I hope I can come on here in a couple of years time and say the same about the Shay.

You are wrong. There is an element of cognitive dissonance in both sets of fans beliefs I would admit, bur I would honestly like both clubs to perform (admittedly more so the football) but there is too much open-endedness in this guys plans for me.

Please note that I have not once abused Mr Abbott.

But you don't trust him because you think he runs a payday loan company? You don't even know the man. You can't disguise your Town Clown suit pal. Jog on.

Well, that's me out of the argument

No one is forced to use a pay day loan company, there's other options availible such as credit unions, but it's a booming market and whilst Wonga take all the bad press, plenty more are just getting on with it.

Entrepreneurial type people will dip into these boom markets when they appear, then close down when the market changes. It isn't hard to set up your own personal injury or PPI claims company, as you're effectively a front end face selling a legal firms product and earn your money from referral fees. I don't know about the payday loan market but that could work in a similar way.

Everything that comes from the town fans is an attack on Tony Abbott, allegations about his finances, businesses, charity, ect. Asking why he's wearing a poppy? It's a catalogue of hate which partly will boil down to jealousy that someone is doing ok for themselves.

As someone said, the lack of ambition in Halifax is astounding, so many people never wanting to do better. Opens the door for someone who does to come in and make money.

Will these town fans still attend a Tony Abbott owned Shay?
