Interesting

Well its eitherbrave or bonkers to buy in currently.

Heard they want to buy the stadium and kick Town out.....

Really ? Seems harsh , I know they don’t like us but I’d prefer a way to work together.

Here we go again



What I can gather, its the MD and non exec director of Eclipse Energy, plus two others behind it.

Dave Grayson is the non exec director, who has previously served on the Fax board. Always heard decent things about him.

Well what i posted may have not been 100 percent right but i will take that and hopefully this takeover will mean some exciting times ahead for the panthers.

Now, now Greg! Get thissen on't Shaymen.net. I'm looking forward to this one!

I thought I would make a rumor up before they get chance to do it and everyone takes it as gospel.

Ithis feels like the york result hit harder than we thought. I think expectations need to be lowered considerably .

WOW.! A statement about a take over that doesn’t say much. Let’s hope it is all for the beats and development of the Panthers

This has been rumoured for a while. I doubt very much if it's owt to do with the York result. BTW, does anyone know how much losing to York cost the club financially?

Seemed to me like they wanted to wait until it was properly finalised as the headline seemed rushed , but Ian leybourne reported it at 2:30 pm and lots of rumours probably forced there hand ,also the owner of Deliveree looks like he wasn’t informed which is strange has he has 20% shares in the company. He wasn’t happy on Facebook yesterday and has since deleted his comments, but it looks like the other sponsers stagefreight and eclipse energy amongst others have pulled a fast one on him . Really don’t understand the whys and wherefores but let’s look forward to a new chapter .

Just have to wait and see for what further information that must inevitably follow regarding the new BoD.

One thing I'm pretty sure about is that the former biggest share holders / board would not have sold their part to just anybody who came along, they must have had enough confidence in them to let the club change ownership.

Well its nil points so far on planning for the communication of the change to its loyal remaining customer fan base . An opportunity badly missed .

Give them a chance.

I would have thought that w ell planned takeover would include a well planned comms strategy. Hopefully something will hit shortly

Good luck to the takeover, and massive thanks to the outgoing, however
New Zealand Warriors it isn’t.

To be fair, I think the club just released a brief statement before the news leaked out and the rumour mill kicked in. Rick and Mike (the media team) are both away on holiday at the moment so hopefully a more detailed version will follow when they get back.

Jk.

The pure hatred vented against Fax fans on there is always alarming.

I’d wouldn’t worry about them. I cant see a group of local business people wanting to kick the football out of the Shay. That’s not supporting your community is it. It is all wind, nonsense and low IQ from the town fans who write stuff like that.

Absolutely crackers , there’s no reasoning with them , marching with placards and dropping putins bombs , grown men behaving like idiots .

In fairness, those with a low IQ were not the ones who believed hook, line and sinker Tony Abbott's plans for the Shay.

7 pages on a baseless rumor spouting venom against a group that have not even inroduced themselves to the Fax fans let alone announced a wish to buy the Shay and kick Town out. You really could not make this up.



Another thing I always chuckle at is something that is often repeated on their board(and if its on there it must be true like every other Fax rumor) is that all Fax fans were happy with Tony Abbott's attempts to buy the Shay which is not true in the slightest.

What makes me smile is that if we hadn’t sold Thrum Hall and moved to the Shay the council would never have put the amount of money into to make what is great little stadium. Both Town and Fax would be playing in rundown old and dilapidated grounds. Just like Cas, Wakefield and the Bulls.

Council money came years later. The money for the North & South stands, and making a start on the East Stand came from the Football Stadia Improvement Fund and Halifax Town.
