Halifax RLFC are pleased to announce an increased three-year sponsorship deal, with MBi Consulting.

Based in Sowerby Bridge, MBi Consulting was initially born out of a passion to provide developers with alternative funding structures to traditional bank lending, enabling them to fulfil their development concepts. MBi has since evolved into an umbrella of companies – MBi Group – that now fully construct and operate their own developments across the UK. From conception through to delivery, MBi’s marketing, sales, construction and care industry, hotel and student accommodation companies use their extensive experience in the alternative market to deliver solid, sustainable property purchases for their clients.

MBi will have a significant profile around The Shay and their logo will feature on the club's home and away shirts this season along with involvement in community projects.

Halifax RLFC Commercial Director, Craig Poskitt, said: “We are thrilled MBi have increased their sponsorship not only for 2015 but for a further three years. I have met with both Gavin and Robin and it is clear that they share our vision of engaging with the community and will undoubtedly play a part in introducing the next generation to our club. MBi will also invest into our new Matchday Experience next season, which will include many projects including local bands playing at the stadium, The Crossbar Challenge and many more initiatives. Once again, we highlight the fact that corporate partners are now realising the club means business; this is supported by multi-year partnerships to enable all parties to benefit over a significant period of time.

MBi Managing Director, Robin Forster, added: “We are delighted to be renewing our partnership with Halifax RLFC this season and into the years ahead. As one of the main sponsors of both the away and home shirts, we are proud to be represented by a club who gives so much back to the local community through its community sports schemes. We look forward to a long-lasting partnership with the club.”

Its all good.

Can't they just get to finish off the Shay if they are involved in construction?

They have contacted CMBC to express an interest in working with them on the Shay in some capacity.

....and would you be happy with one of our sponsors getting involved in the development of The Shay? I t gives me a distinct feeling of Deja Vu.

Don't give them ideas fax Machine. They will start proceedings to stop work being completed . Can't have anyone but council owning any party of shay can we. Would be different If it was anyone to do with FC Halifax town though wouldn't it despite what they say.

As I said on the other thread, as long as the stands and pitch are owned by CMBC then I'm happy. Also, they didn't state they wanted to buy it in the approach, but work with CMBC.

MBI also sponsor Town, but as my issue is with the sell off of the ground to ANYONE I did put an FOI in for more details 2 weeks ago.

Also, Lucid Sports (I think they were called) made an approach to buy the ground. They recently made an attempt to buy the Bulls. Any idea why a Rugby fan who lives in Surrey and supports and wants to own the Bulls (who don't own their ground) would want to buy the ground of their close geographic rival?

Jee whizz, my comment was half tongue in cheek. Must remember to check with all the fun police before I post again, BUT saying that it would be nice to have the empty corner filled in one way or another.

No!

Yes it would

Well done to all concerned, the longer term commitment of any one party apart from that on it's own will only encourage more to come on board with the added confidence.

A thought to ponder. In the First World War the British and German soldiers came out of their trenches at Christmas and shared pleasanteries and had a game of football. Wouldn't it be great if the Fax and Town fans had a similar truce and those keyboard warriors took time off and all went to the 3 P's and a social drinking competition broke out! Come on folks, it's paramount we get that eyesore in the corner finished and I wouldn't give a monkeys who did it as long as it got done. Positive things off the field are brewing-hopefully for both clubs and I for one would be happy to see success for both clubs both off and on it. Happy Faxmas.
