[quote="Greg Florimos Boots":3jlmhnl1]IMG wise if all the upgrades that are talked about are done we would increase our score by 1.0 for the facilities, 0.125 for the LED boards, and 0.125 for the big screen (I can't recall seeing mention of this), which takes us over 10 points. We have a ton of scope to improve on the finances section which if we could do would have us battling for around 13th/14th spot. I guess the down side in this is that Huddersfield would move to a Grade A ranking only leaving Hull and Salford as targets.[/quote:3jlmhnl1] Raises another couple of questions for the powers that be to decide, would the Giants be classed as being based in Calderdale as long as they were here or be given some dispensation as a temporary move. On the minus side would we not lose some percentage of points for sharing a catchment area if they were classed as being based in Calderdale? All if it happens of course.

[/quote:2tmsioy2] It does look that way but hard to find the official data. What I can find is that the population looks to be around 208k which will be split in 2 to drop us from 1 point to 0.5 points until the Giants leave. I saw a Giants fan claiming their score would go up which seems to be impossible if that population is correct.

Interesting chart below from there that you will have seen but maybe not everyone on how the population numbers dictate the points. https://www.totalrl.com/forums/uploads/ ... 936f83.png In general there doesn’t seem to be any excessive resistance to the proposal though.

If we had an owner who wants to take the club away from a shared stadium and build their own stadium and facilities, who would complain about that. Many FC supports would cheer about such a proposal and so would I.

If we did it I would be concerned about us ever going back to our home town, loss of identity and or being swallowed up in some sort of a merger with the home ground being out side of Halifax with a different name and ceasing to exist as a club or in the Giants case that applying to them. The days of the Shay ever just being the home of FC Town are over with and everyone needs to move on to the reality of 2025. The council are losing too much money and they have to get rid and if Fax left it would only hasten the departure of FC Town as well. If that's a reason for anyone to cheer bearing in mind it's the ones fuelled by hatred that would be the cheering the loudest, well enough said and they need to careful what they wish for or are their dream would soon become a nightmare.
