Quote ="faxcar"As I stated before the fact is whatever was said months or over a year ago there is an on going dispute concerning rent at the Shay between HRLFC and CMBC now.
The real reason for this is unknown to outsiders and is not being revealed by insiders.
The positions of both have been declared by both with on going discussions taking place.
That being the case what has this got to do with you either as a tax payer or follower of Town or in any other context it is none of your business especially when your motive is to cling to and publicise anything negative about the rugby club.
Another fact at the risk of repeating myself again is the whole rent issue must be resolved with the agreement of both parties for the rugby club to play out of the Shay as the recent alleged lock out proved
Haven't you been patted on the back for your "good" work by the same ones who have resorted to any means possible in their attack against HRLFC.
Your actions are bordering on obsession.'"
Faxcar, I'm sorry that it has taken me so long to post this but it came up in a discussion with Nat where he said I'd "filled in the blanks with pure speculation and conjecture", therefore I considered it important. Unfortunately for us CMBC have 20 working days to respond, meaning there has been this delay. You'll be pleased to hear I've not submitted any FOIs since the arrears have been paid; I'm just tidying up loose ends as I feel that is the decent thing to do.
Just for clarity though, CMBC can't lie in an FOI response, so the whole rent dispute issue only appeared after 19th November, so if it is long running no-one at the club bothered to tell the council in an official capacity. Indeed, as the council have a written promise to pay the entire amount, with no amount disputed, suggests they may be on quite strong legal grounds when it comes to collecting the arrears.
Again, this is why Town fans were sceptical of Reactiv's purchase of the ground when all we had to go on was a promise of 'trust me'. Your directors broke a written and verbal promise to pay and didn't have the decency to contact CMBC to say they'd miss the deadline. Replace CMBC witha mortgage company and both clubs would have been out on their ears.
