hang on a minute NO there NOT, calderdale council have blocked it because they dont want paint on the grass and dont want it ruining,total rubbish it would not ruin the pitch it would be on there for a while tbh but ruining it never,90 mins of wendy ball will do more damage, the club are working there nats off to make money and the idiots at the council stop it,

Surprised? I think not!!

Absolutely disgraceful. I bet if it was Town who wanted it there would be no problem.
There seems a total bias against Fax.
Enter, Bubba and his sycophantic acolytes.

Only in Halifax! Half hearted Halifax. Calderfail council. Pathetic.!

Pitch decisions would be taken by council/groundsman not either club,surely ?

Yes Mr T as Sean stated it was the council who blocked it.

Council could have taken the money and put it towards an electronic scoreboard, doubt we'd have have seen any of the money so who really cares.

Precisely. £2,500 towards a scoreboard.

Just to put this in context, the scoreboard at DVS would've cost close to a quarter of a million.

To repair.

What you'll get for £2,500 is a wooden board, some paint and a few "tins".

Most new scoreboards look more like glorified bus destination display units.

£2500 excluding fixtures and fittings seems about right.

WHAT?

Griff, please pay attention, we aren't allowed to use paint.

That's why we were using a wooden board, some paint and a few "tins".

This thread was about the pitch and now it's gone off thread about the scoreboard, so no one can blame me for continuing.
Our scoreboard is superb, at least it stops Brew getting into trouble.
Think about it?

Typical of some people at Calderdale Council no ambition I am afraid, other grounds do painted pitches all the time is our ground special? The ground staff have too much say on what happens at the Shay imo

Speaking about paint, did you here the one about the guy who has just used his 1 millionth tin and roll of wall paper?

He's due to be decorated in the new years honours list.

Superb,

I thought championship clubs didn't get ANY SKY TV money, and if they did, it's 5K for advertising on the actual pitch.

Where does Sky come into this?

That's whence the pitch painting money comes.

They televised the game. My favourite film is 'Tarka The Otter.....what's yours [size=20050[/size shades of grey ?

Mine is the Godfather, you surprise me about yours tho, thought it would be Willie Wank:r and the Chocolate Factory.

Helpful:r should read wa"""r

The visiting Salford Hordes will have made up for that £2.5k surely
