Not happy with Asda taking down the Hall of fame. not sure if it's going back up.

I could be wrong but the way I read it ,it was Mcdonalds who want it moving from their cafe part as they are redecorating and will not go with new decor. So that must mean they are fed up of it and it may go into the supermarket part when they decide if it`s apropriate.I never did get why it was in a Mcdonalds anyway but given it was built on our old ground I suppose it`s as good a place as any .
So right then guys if they don`t want it at Asda where would you think is an apropriate place for the Hall Of Fame ? As I notice the one at the Shay get`s covered up with a curtain when we are not playing.
Also is there a plaque on the building inside or out that mentions that it`s built on our old ground?You know something like the Blue Plaques for famous people . If not isn`t that something we could try to arrange?
You can tell I don`t shop there ,I`ve only been a few times since it became a Supermarket it upset me to lose Thrum Hall.

In the car park outside B&Q in Huddersfield is this plaque



Something similar up at the Thrum Hall site would be nice, I'm not sure of the orientation of the site, or if it would even be possible to locate where the centre spot was, but would be a nice touch if it could be done.

ASDA do tend to work well with the communities they are in, so I'm sure if a decent proposal was put to them then it would be considered.

If they can't find a suitable position at Asda, what about The Ivy House?

It says on the club website the will be moved to somewhere else within asda.

I am prepared to have the hall of fame in my house.

I am prepared to have the European Halifax RLFC hall of fame at mine- any free items will be welcome

Put it inThe George Hotel.

Oh, wait........

Yes it`s all right saying you will have the Hall Of Fame but there is more to it than that , are you willing to serve up burgers for everyone when they come to view ? Mine will be a cheeseburger please and I don`t want horse meat either .

Isn't Asda actually built on the Pavilion & Cricket Ground. Though the Bowling club are positioned where the ground actually used to be.

Anyway, its been 12 years. Things have moved on. Get the display in the East Stand somewhere IMO.

Beefburgers? Cheeseburgers? Horseburgers? In Mrs Halifaxjohn's kitchen? take a look at me, do you think we eat burgers?
Cucumber sandwiches, crusts removed, lettuce and celery is the order of the day, yum yum.

It would be nice to have both clubs working together on something at the Shay. OK, not a big trophy cabinet would be needed for the Shaymen. But this is something which it would be good to see the two clubs work together on.

The Hall of Fame IS on show in the East Stand (for rugby matches anyway; when Halifax Town play it is covered up). The display at Asda is only a replica. It is also at The Ivy House.

We have tried to get Halifax Town involved in the East Stand, and have left room for them to have a Hall of Fame too, but at the moment they do not want to. We would love to see both clubs able to celebrate their histories at The Shay.

When Malcolm was running the Fax club shop he offered them room and offered to sell their products.
They refused quite ungratiously. Why?
Why cover up the Hall of fame and the trophey cabinet, I appreciate Town don't have a hall of fame so why not start with some photo's of their own past stars.
Alex South, Willie Carling, Peter Downsborough, the lad who went on to play for Spurs, (sorry forget his name) even Nigel Jemson, etc. put them up along side a trophey cabinet of their own.
It appears that rather than show off their achievments they would rather hide ours.
One stadium, one town, two teams.

Sad to hear but it doesnt really surprise me. I am not the biggest fan of the Halifax Town owners.

i agree. to cover them up is very petty really. both should have their history on show there.

I hear from some Town fans your old friend Mr. B is getting blamed for the poor drainage system on the pitch.

Mr Brown?

With the attitude of the Soccer club and a number of its alleged followers towards Fax, its not surprising a number of Rugby fans like myself have no time for them.

And vice versa!

Bubba, if you look on the courier website you will see that after every game, be it Fax or Town the vitreol comes from the Town supporters, Hellfire, seems to have disapeared, but replaced by some idiot called FCHalifaxtownmassive, a clown called more prooftelling etc, they blame Fax for the state of the pitch, they tell untruths about the ground rent, etc etc.
Personaly I despise football and most of the people associated with it, but, like most Fax supporters realise that without each other the council would "probably" not maintain the Shay.
These people envy Fax's past, mock our future, without adding anything to the debate.
I wish Town no bad ill, good luck to them
One town two teams but hey, Town supporters get over it.

But at least he has a lovely daughter.

Take the blinkers off. The trash written on there isnt all one way.

Give me a name.
