Can we send a FOI request asking how much we are owed from the disgraced Halifax Town AFC that went BUST? Wonder how much they owed to local businesses and directors etc

What does it matter, they do not exist anymore. Anyway, two wrongs do not make a right.

I wouldn't be too quick to try and claim the moral high ground, I am one of the local businessman who is owed money from a previous incarnation of Halifax RLFC. Admittedly it was from some time ago and has long since been "written off" and put down to experience but I'd still caution you from thinking the rugby club is squeeky club.

I do agree with a previous poster however, that the outstanding debt is "manageable" considering the club's & Mr Abbott's apparent wealth. That said it is all the more reason that vigorous and transparent steps should be taken to clear it asap.

apparent wealth? Last we knew he was not worth much.

Maybe we should just call take out a massive loan, not pay it back and reform debt free as RLFC of Halifax then

I dont think the club or the people running it are squeeky clean. There will be a valid reason for the debt not being payed. But it doesnt need to be aired in public, as its a matter between Fax and the Council. Bubba and his crew have no room to mention rent after the soccer club owed far more when going bust and will never get payed. I am of the opinion that the debt is not a serious problem and the people running the club will have a valid reason for things and dont see the need for any statement being made.

The lies and determination to paint Fax and the people running it as evil nasty people is pathetic. But what do you expect from a two faced muppet like Bubba and his scumbag friends? It doesnt bother me whether Halifax Pubteam owe money or not. I could give two figs if they owed 65,000 or whatever in rent. It doesnt affect Fax or me so I seriously have no idea why all this hate and lies have to be expressed from the alleged fans who follow them. I do however have a problem with Bubba and his scumbags for causing problems for Fax and others, when they do not know the facts or have even reason to know whats going on. The lies, slander and attitude is simply not on. The way they rallied against Tony Abbott, The Council, Fax etc and making them out to be the worst people in the world was simply a disgrace and uncalled for. Its this reason why I have no respect for them or the football club.

YAWN. I just don't see the point of debating over a public forum the indebtedness of a business that none of us are custodians/shareholders of. We have no control over the purse strings-others, as a Board of Directors, have that responsibility. Let them get on with it.
Move along, there is nothing to see here.

They only mention the rent which happens to be true, the council have revealed the fact with a FOI request.

This is not a lie nor slander.

THIS!!!

I love this place and the fantasy land some live in

Ah, Bubba the "rugby fan" posts on here for the first time in yonks. Massive lol.

Do you know where yonks comes from?

Welcome two faced prick.

I wont be buying a season ticket until an official statement is made regarding the situation.

What a ridiculous statement.

Quite a few Town tools now registering on here.

Get a life. Jesus.

I'm always intruiged about this two faced accusation. Anyone who knows me knows I'm as blunt as they come.

But keep up the humour.

I would not bother if I was you pal, stick to the wendyball.

Why is it ridiculous?

I pay good money expecting to see games throughout the season. Unless I know what is going on, what is going to happen, none of my hard earned brass is been given to anyone. Why do you think everyone is a Town Fan? Many Fax fans feel the same as me, we want answers.

I can understand your concern as the wendyball team could not survive on its own down the shay... I'm sure it will all come out in the wash but you won't be getting the answers you so call need on a forum!

Slander-in which someone tells one or more persons an untruth about another which untruth will harm the reputation of the person defamed. Slander is a civil wrong (tort) and can be the basis for a lawsuit.

Comparing Mr Abbott to a Child Abuser is in order (It was later deleted) ? Claiming people like "Cllr Swift is corrupt" is not slander? Claiming "Councillors are in bed with Mr Abbott and the Rugby club" is not a lie? Calling into question The HEartbeat of Sports work is not slander? One poster/fan even threatened to run Abbott out of Town! You and your friends may think its OK but the manner and actions are way out of order.



Thats ridiculous. So you give your money to a Charity, FC Pubteam or The Church do you really know the money goes to the right people/place all the time? Nobody knows whats going to happen to anything even within a short period of time. Who would have expected Manchester Utd to be so bad and so off the pace this time last year? Who would have expected the Bulls to be in such a mess just 3 years ago?

I am a concerned Fax Fan of many years, you really do talk twaddle. This is about a genuine subject which needs to be addressed. All this stuff about slander etc is clouding the issue. The Club must save face and deal with it. Stop wrongly assuming I am not a Fax Fan.

It is being adressed as the Council and the Club are sorting, out as confirmed by the Council. Nothing needs to be announced by anybody as there is no serious issues. If there was a problem dont you think that the Club would be facing court action by people wanting money? If you want to go into believing the mad hysteria from a set of idiots who have made various over the top claims and know nothing about things, then fair enough. For me, there is no major problem and am happy with the way things are being handled

Now you are back to gloat tell me as I asked you several times, how many members does the Halifax Town Supporters Trust have???
Or do I have to do an FOI?
Sadly we can't are you registered with the FCA by the way?

I don't believe you come on be brave and tell us who you are then?

Nope. The second people started the insults this thread ended. I want to discuss the rent issue in a grown up manner, but we are clearly unable to do that and I cant spend hours deleting/editing the crap. Thread locked.
