Why was the other thread locked?

I read why it was locked but reading through the thread a lot of what was stated ie. the letter from the council, the accounts, are all things that are available for anyone to see.

It is a legitimate debate and if the thread needs moderating then any posts that break the AUP should be edited and with a reason why they have been edited. Locking the thread is just downright daft.

It should be remembered that this is not an official Halifax RLFC message board.

my initial thread on this topic was removed yesterday.It was
a genuine rugby fan asking if other fax fans had concerns about this
debt.instead the mods allowed town fans to hi-jack other threads
to get there point across.makes no sense to me.

I completely agree.

What were the libelous posts?

I must add Im in no way supporting the Town fans on this and gave what I thought was a valid explanation of why we would be in rent arrears. I just think rather than just going the whole hog and locking the thread it should be read through and any posts edited that are way out of line.

I have had another browse through and cant say there is that much that would need that doing. By locking that thread it gives the Town trolls ammunition to make the actions of one person speak for the club.

Presumably the libelous posts have been deleted. If not, locking the thread doesn't make them any less libelous.

Head in sand time!

Ive just had a read of the Town forum and all I can say is I hope not a lot of them work because the damage that they would be doing to the economy by been employed by someone could be a disaster.

To be fair it would be a lot to expect of some of them to have any idea how an actual business works.

I cant wait to see their little faces when the deal for the Shay goes through.

The mods act with RLFans best interests not the clubs. This site cant be held responsible just in case something is taken as libellous. You would be surprised what happens about forums and libel comments.

So would it make more sense to simply delete those comments and warn the users rather than lock an entire thread? Although im still not sure which parts of that thread are libellous as the accounts and letter are genuine and anybody could have got that information.

So have you deleted any posts or just locked the thread ?

You may notice this forum has more than 1 mod.

OK - so have any posts been deleted or has the thread just been locked ?

I've just had a look on their forum. I LOVE the backslapping when the rent thing was put up. "Well done Steve"! is the common post. I have to say - it's an unhealthy obsession they have. They need to get out more. How are they going to react when the council sell the Shay? That said - putting these mongrels and intellectually challenged eejits to one side - I think both clubs would do well to join together and go forward together in a shared stadium. It's in both parties interests despite what the forum knuckle draggers think. Step back - take the emotion out of it and bring some common sense to the situation.

By the way - to the lamebrain Town fan - the head in the sand photo? - we get it. You may have to post something like that 20 times on your own forum to get the message across but on here, we get it. This isn't just any old Shay Forum; this is Halifax Fans RL forum - a class above.

You're welcome.

Its fun being a fan of both clubs--its just like
watching my kids arguing.

But, whether you care to admit it or not, any comments on here aimed at FCHT are in retaliation to the continuous bile aimed at Halifax RLFC. There is never a time, even prior to the Shay purchase business, when there aren't several strings on their forum about the rugby club. They are obsessed with us whereas FCHT is a matter of supreme indifference to most Fax fans. The last time I remember there being a thread on here about FCHT was last year when we were wishing them good luck in their quest for promotion.

That's what years and years of inferiority does to you.

It's why we talk a lot about SL clubs on here

The reason soccer fans have an inferiority complex is that they are genuinely inferior.

Hillarious--sure the tens of thousands blades/wedneday fans in Sheffield
feel inferior to 50 lame seagulls.

I agree with you over this debacle about the two clubs joining together and for the life in me I cannot understand the Town fans .But saying all that, the ones I blame are the Towns Board their silence over all this is deafening ,except to do a bit of grumbleing re` not knowing anything about it.Why don`t they come out and say they are either for it and they are prepared to work with TA .Or they are against it and don`t want anything to do with cheaper rents etc.At the end of the day the Town fans appear to want the stadium to be council owned and the Council will not tolerate the Shay being run at a loss any more especialy as a fraction of ratepayers use the place, so they will sell it to someone . So all the ones who have been crowing about Bubba & co having a "community facility 6 month stay "on the place so they have chance to get some money together better have deep pockets `cos someone will be buying it .

With all the evidence before you, you still cannot see the obvious, all you can do is shoot the messenger.

You are doomed. The fight is so you do not take The Shaymen down with you.

Your sport, your club is finished,

And yet you still keep posting about it. I find it strange for a bunch of numpties that dont have any interest in a sport, keep posting on their own forum about it.

Obsessed arent you? Its ok you can admit it, its the first step to recovery.

Maybe you would care to explain........

I get we likely owe rent, I also get where that amount comes from, thats not rocket science and has been widely reported.

The money we owe in the accounts is directors loans from what can be made out. That will not be unusual for any sporting club I would think. By the looks of it we traded at a small profit as well last year which is obviously a break from the norm for the majority of RL clubs.

If there is something Im missing please explain though because the demise of Halifax RLFC is probably not happening anytime soon with the people that are currently involved. Sorry to burst your bubble though.

Doomed I tell you, Dooooomed!

Well we could always reform and become, debt free, reduced rent, and then become obsessed with the longest remaining tennants of the Shay. Oh hang on...thats what FC Halifax Town have done...sorry im getting my wires crossed.

You may want to save all your efforts for rounding up money when you dont hit the break even figure this year.
