[quote="Bubba":o3f8lr15]If you are a regular visitor to theshaymen.net forum, you will know that over the years I have stuck up for Fax in relation to the pitch use. It is fair to say the pitch isnt fit for use, but thats not the fault of Fax or FCHT. Its the nature of dual use and a lack of investment in the pitch over many years.[/quote:o3f8lr15] I've noticed in the recent few discussions on there that you have remained quiet , unfortunately you have been party to the ongoing vitriol against the rugby club , I would probably say that that forum is an example of how to stir up hatred against an organisation , a mix of uneducated unchallenged nonsense where every fault of the rugby club is examined with a microscope and filled out with false narrative bs , yet all the sins of the footy club are conveniently overlooked .There's a reason why that forum is a closed forum , because if was public it would be shut down imminently. Anyone connected to that forum should have no involvement in the running of the shay, I would advise you to fall on your sword before you even consider unsheathing it for battle.

[quote="faxcar":6vp0u9un] You mentioned Ken Davy and history that upset some Huddersfield Town fans. Do you know the full circumstances and details of what the issue was, do you know his side of the argument? It’s just that looking at our own history as a rugby club just taking FC Town Shaymen fans assessment would hardly be the place to get a fair and accurate view. On the other hand what we actually do know the last time I looked Huddersfield Town were still in their stadium as majority share holders with the opportunity to become full owners and when Davy sold his shares they didn’t pay over the odds or get ripped of in anyway.[/quote:6vp0u9un] He moved the shares in the stadium company owned by Huddersfield Town to one of his companies (Huddersfield Sporting Pride Ltd) for a nominal fee of £1. His reasoning was to "safeguard" them for the future and would sell them back once the football club was stabilised. He kept them within his ownership, and after selling HTAFC to Dean Hoyle, then tried to sell the shares back for a lot more than the £1 he paid for them, presumably to recoup some of the money he'd spent on HTAFC. There was a lot of uproar in the town and he eventually transferred them back for the same rate I believe, But his reputation had gone from saviour to villain and while the current ownership at Huddersfield Town have no beef with him, many of the fans do.

He might not even go through with it but if he doesn’t no one else with the resources to make a difference has or is coming forward so then what happens then because the council are desperate to get shut one way or another.
