Will be open for every home match next season..great news.

Indeed Mr T even though I am an East Stand geriatric I do understand that those more nimble than myself can stand up for 80 minutes.


It does also confirm that before we

our board we should wait and see the end result.
Things can only get better.

I would suggest the only reason the initial decision has been reversed is that the BOD have received so much stick from fans. The press release says “We have now looked at the numbers, looked at the savings and listened to the supporters, and concluded that the amount of money saved would be less than the lost income from stay away supporters." so perhaps a very big slump in season ticket sales?

Delighted they have done so, but ludicrous decision to start with, and shows how out of touch the present BOD are given the first decision.

I'm prepared to cut them some slack on this issue.They are obviously trying to make savings in all areas but have realised how counter-productive this action would have been.

do you say anything positive.

Not on this forum but perhaps on the Wendyball.net?
I asked the same question last night with a suggestion that if he is so unhappy with the board and the signings they have made he tells us who he would sign, whether they are available and whether they would accept the wages on offer.

I will agree I am at present very negative. I don't watch Halifax Football club or use their message boards, although I do watch soccer on TV I don't often watch live games unless it's on free TV - with kids and almost minimum wage I can't afford an early bird season, or much else apart from my rent, and I therefore pay each week, when I go. So I need to have a reason to spend all my spare money on a Fax game. I will always support Fax, but I need to Really want to walk to the game and back and pay my entry fee.

My big concern, and if you read my posts it is a theme I do (I admit) keep on about, is simply the silence of our BOD on matters related to Finance, unless they want something from us there is never much said at all. There may be no "financial crisis" we may simply be planning in case there is one...fans don't really know.

I agree they should budget to fit known income, and player recruitment will depend on availability of players and funds. However, as we saw last season, when the team starts to perform badly attendance falls and I simply don't see the present squad performing well and they don't make me want to go to the games.

With all due respect John his concerns are echoed by many fans i know,lady i work with for example season ticket holder since TH days is not renewing,doesn't make then Town fans.

I take your point T however I still say with some of the friends our club has we don't need enemies.
The problem is that reading some of the comments you would think we had no hope, a poor board, poor players, and second rate sponsors,
The lovely mrshj has hidden all the sharp kitchen instruments and paracetamol.

Cheer up John, it might never happen

Reading these comments just makes me think the BOD are in the world of 'damned if you do and damned if you don't'
The reality check for us is that we haven't a 'money man' and are having to cut our cloth according as a result of missing out on the top 4 last season.
We have no revenue from the stadium via bar takings and no 'clubhouse' of our own.
The Supporters Trust do a fantastic job in supplying £20k plus annually through hard graft and love of the club.
The Director's have no doubt put £000's of their money in with no realistic chance of getting it back.
We as supporters/sponsors on varying incomes no doubt make our own sacrifices to support the club.
That's the reality of where we are at and it looks like we will be building slowly to get further up the league structure and attract better players and more supporters.
Success breeds success but you have to graft as a whole club set up and be patient in sport.
Our time will come again.

L T D I posted this on another thread but it seems pertinent to repost here. People may not agree with your views,however I think most with a balanced view will.

"Being '000 s of miles away, I only get information from a few sources, some of it balanced some prejudiced.
It reads to me that RM had too many similar players vieing for 3 places last term and he spent most of the season experimenting with differing permutations, not very successfully, along with some unfortunate injuries to the squad.
Next term with it being a smaller playing squad it should be more settled.
Many people more eminently qualified than me have told players that they will have an extended run in the team to show what they can do, not just one game! Playing breeds confidence, that should allow players to concentrate on the game and not worry if they will play next week or again be bench warming.
With a smaller coaching team there is also less chance of mixed messages and all looking at the same game plan, along with senior players on the park to guide the younger guys without fear of reprisal from the dugout.

As for the BOD, yes more information would be welcome as fans have a right to know certain things, however some things are not pertinent for the masses and we have to accept that ( in your work place do you know everything). Let them get on with doing a good job in difficult circumstances.
If you feel you can do better go and see them and apply for a seat on there. put up or shut up!

As for the on field activities the Championship will not be easy and every one will need to be at their best all of the time. Get behind them support that's your job within HRLFC.

This is only my humble opinion, I suspect several will not agree, but please be constructive not destructive with your rebuttle".

Maybe the decision was not taken by the Board of Directors, but by one of the so called 'Executive Committee' behaving like a loose cannon and keeping the BOD in the dark over whole affair, if the rumours are to be believed!!

Some good points Fax in Asia.
I agree that every poster has aright to their opinion, which I respect, just need to be realistic.
Hope we do have a settled side next season as that was a key factor in our success two seasons ago.

What this man said. Although I do hear there will be no such shenanigans this season.

Good news and glad the Board have listened to the fans this was never going to work and this decision is in the best interests of the club, thanks.
Also well done on extending the Early bird offer I should be able to get one now even though I have still never had a reminder!
