| Tbf the football fans aren't against it in the main , the main instigator of negativity is a few on the shaymen forum, I think they've managed a couple of hundred signatures on their petition. It's a strange echo chamber forum where there's multiple threads on rugby league, they've just spent 5 pages arguing about michael steeles involvement ( there isn't BTW) but it fits in with the low iq false narrative bs . Apparently damien clayton was sneering at the football club lol. The only thing that clayton got wrong was the term ' moral high ground ' when he should have just used the term high ground when referring to who needs the deal the most . The problem with that forum is weak leadership, if you had that conversation in public it'd be shutdown within minutes such is the level of nonsense on there. | | |

| My concern is the debt that is going to be loaded onto both clubs for the works that will take place. We struggle at the best of times to pay the rent by the sounds of it. | | | |

Latest Courier Update. 7th of March.
Quote. What is happening to the Shay. Council officers recommend what should happen to Halifax stadium as drop-in session announced. A council cabinet meeting on March 17 will see two options on the table for the future of the stadium, which is home to Halifax Panters and FC Halifax Town.They are a proposal from a working party of Halifax-based supporters that an independent, not-for-profit trust takes over ownership of the stadium, or a bid from Huddersfield Giants owner Ken Davy to buy the ground so the Giants can play there while a new stadium for his side was being built, before ownership of The Shay is offered back to FC Halifax Town and the Panthers. Today it has been revealed that council officers are recommending the cabinet proceed with the proposals put forward by Ken Davy. Calderdale Council says its officers have considered both proposals in the context of the council’s budget, current and future costs for the stadium and “securing best value for Calderdale residents”. This option would require the council and the two professional clubs to commit towards initial investment for a Football Foundation grant that will provide for the replacement of the current pitch with a new hybrid pitch. The council contribution towards the pitch replacement is likely to be in the region of £130,000. The council says it already invests between £30,000 and £50,000 every year in pitch works.The proposal makes provision for interest free loans to be made by Mr Davy to the two professional clubs to help meet the costs of the pitch replacement. The proposal makes provision for interest free loans to be made by Mr Davy to the two professional clubs to help meet the costs of the pitch replacement.If Mr Davy’s proposals go ahead, the new hybrid pitch at the Shay would be constructed from summer 2025, to minimise the disruption to FC Halifax Town during the 2025/26 playing season and to prepare the ground for the relocation of the Huddersfield Giants in 2026. Cabinet members will decide if either of the proposals should proceed. Several Calderdale councillors say they have met with both parties but also want to hear what residents and the teams’ supporters think. So they have arranged a drop-in session for Tuesday, March 11 so that people can have their say. It will take place at The Old Library at Skircoat Green between 6pm and 8pm. Councillor Mike Barnes, one of the Skircoat ward councillors, said: “Local councillors have met with both parties but we feel that it is important that local residents/individual supporters have the chance to have their say. He said representatives from the interested parties will not be at the drop-in session but ward councillors will be there so that they can pass people’s views onto cabinet members ahead of the March 17 meeting. Calderdale Council’s cabinet member for Public Services and Communities, Coun Danielle Durrans, said: “Although major financial pressures mean that it’s no longer possible for the council to continue the running of the Shay Stadium, we understand how important this facility is for people in the borough. “We’re committed to securing a bright future for the stadium, with the many benefits that local sports teams bring to the borough. "In discussing proposals for the Shay’s future, we want to ensure that we can provide a long-term solution that will inspire the proud clubs of FC Halifax Town and Halifax Panthers and support their on-field success.

Courier / Ken Davy latest comments. 13 March. Ken Davy issues statement after council officers support his proposals for future of The Shay.In a statement to the Halifax Courier, My Davy has also adressed the working party group’s reponse to the council officers’ decision, which said they believed that risks associated with Mr Davy’s plans for The Shay have been “insufficiently addressed”. A council cabinet meeting on March 17 will see two options on the table for the future of the stadium. They are a proposal from a working party of Halifax-based supporters that an independent, not-for-profit trust takes over ownership of the stadium, or a bid from Huddersfield Giants owner Mr Davy to buy the ground so the Giants can play there while a new stadium for his side was being built, before ownership of The Shay is offered back to FC Halifax Town and the Panthers. Council officers are recommending the cabinet proceed with the proposals put forward by Mr Davy. If Mr Davy’s proposals go ahead, a new hybrid pitch at the Shay would be constructed from summer 2025, to minimise the disruption to FC Halifax Town during the 2025/26 playing season and to prepare the ground for the relocation of the Huddersfield Giants in 2026. In a statement to the Courier, Mr Davy said: “Having had a very constructive meeting with representatives of the working group as well as having had conversations with other supporters, and with a further meeting already arranged, I am obviously a bit disappointed to see their article. "Nonetheless, if I am able to take the Shay forward into a positive and risk-free future for Calderdale Council, the wider community and of course, the two professional clubs, I will look forward to liaising with them as we share many similar goals. "My objective is for The Shay to become a beacon for local sport for Halifax and the wider community of Calderdale. "To clarify the position regarding the much-needed new hybrid pitch, both clubs have told me they cannot afford a new pitch, and I am assured it would not be happening if I wasn’t providing interest free loans of circa £400,000 to fund it. "I will also be amazed if both clubs don’t benefit significantly from greater support, along with increased sponsorship and advertising income as a direct result of the investments in improved facilities for fans and players. "It is no secret that I fund the Giants, therefore the very significant investments I plan for The Shay will be the same as if they were coming directly through the Giants. "I believe this is a unique opportunity for The Shay to truly become the ‘Calderdale Community Stadium’ with substantial benefits for everyone throughout the area. "I therefore hope my proposal will be strongly supported.”
