Tow set the trestle table up in the space left for a shop which imo is taking the p!ss, as it looks like a building site. effectively squatting

lol...don't know how Town get away with this but it was shut during arbitration but has now reopened so it must be ok.arbitration obviously went against the rugby and to be fair
both clubs have contracts and the fact that the football now play twice as many games does not warrant a 50k withhold,just a request to re-evaluate.

Don't forget the repair bill to pitch that Town add to the maintenance costs every year after a full winter season of using it and then try and blame the rugby club despite the fact that it is in perfect condition when we have finished playing on it.

certainly true this season but a friendly v Shudds knackered the pitch for the final 3 months of football season a couple of years ago.

You are presuming that moving 13 miles down the road is the only option. It isnt.

Fev make every penny of anything that is sold in their ground, what do Fax and Town make?

I thought Town were refusing to move out of their condemned offices? Maybe health and safety should have a nosey in there eh?

As for the shop, the town fans have a go at Fax for taking the pee but come on, that is one big joke.

Erm yeah............

what about fcht under 19s playing there now, add them to the list of town games

Thanks for the offer, I will bear it in mind.

From Bubba's figures, the number of players on the pitch for Fax maybe greater but they are spread out more, proof of this is the pile of a goal area which in my opinion was massively to blame for Miles Greenwood's broken leg. The middle of each penalty area are a constant mess, the same with most lower league football pitches.

Why? What extra facilities? Also Town play well over 30 games when Fax play around 20 tops including reserves

Old news and now inaccurate ask yourself how many games did Town play at home last season compared to Fax? Plus do Fax still use that gym under the south stand?

Also do Town have to play away from the Shay mid season every year for pitch improvements without any compensation? No but Fax do and they lose out as no income for 6 weeks then several home games on the bounce with lower crowds as fans get out of the habit of going and cannot afford 3 or 4 games back to back but you never mention that do you?

And Fev have no stadium running costs (rates, utilities, telephones, pitch maintenance, stadium maintenance, stadium manager, etc)? So please, let me know what the gross profit of stadium income against stadium costs Fev make?

I agree that it is a very difficult situation for Fax and some blame should be apportioned to those who owned/ran the club when they failed to invest in Thrum Hall, allowed it to become a dump leaving you with no option but to move to a football stadium.

How many games did FCHT play, how many games did HRLFC play, how many non 1st team games did either club play, how many training sessions did each club have?

I take it the gym is now empty of anything to do with HRLFC?

It's not a football stadium though is it!!!!! It's a community sports stadium where rugby and football is played and should be fit for purpose.Fax have been at the Shay for 18 years. What long gone previous owners of the club allegedly did or didn't do prior to that is irrelevant.

Its a community sports stadium when it suits you.

Incorrect. It's a community sports stadium regardless of who it suits.
The truth is if you would admit it you would love it if it was just a football stadium. After 18 years you can't get past Fax are there and it's the objection to that at the root of every post no matter how it's dressed up to look.
Who was to blame for allowing the Shay to become a dump and eyesore of the Town when only football and speedway was there?

Jeez!

My dad's bigger than yours boll***s again!!!!

Why don't you all get over it? Both clubs have to share the facilities, end of. And one club, or the other, will always be perceived to be getting something more than the other. Why don't we just agree to disagree on who is the council's favourite, because it seems to me that it's them that are screwing the clubs over one way or another.

Well, to say I spent at least the first ten years of HRLFC playing at the Shay as a regular (home and away) I dont think you have a valid point.

As for the Shay becoming a dump - it was never owned by HTAFC so again you are just clutching at straws.

Could everyone please check with Bubba before posting to ensure that the he agrees or the post won't be valid.
Town have been lucky to been able to have a stadium provided by the council and payed for by the community all these years because without it they would have had nothing of their own making.
That being they case how can a few supporters of a club that have taken so much from the communities finances still not be satisfied and think that they can dictate to everyone else.
Fact is although the Shay is far from being ideal, since the rugby club moved there it initially improved more in those few years than all the years previous put together.

Yes, which was in no way down to HRLFC.

Must all be down to Town then.
Take the credit when the Shay is improved.

"As for the Shay becoming a dump - it was never owned by HTAFC".

Abdicate any responsibility for improvements.
There's no contradiction, really there isn't.

Bubba. The simple fact is Halifax RLFC have been tenants down The Shay far longer than FC Halifax Town.
