[quote="Listenup94":1xsvv2bv]Apologies, I did .I dont need to bullet point every statement you made , I'll be candid , I sped read it , you hoddie , and the majority of that forum are anti rugby , which is why you refer to us in the negative way you do . I've been on and off the shaymen forum for years and the message is and always will be squatters out. Might come to bite you in the booty that saying.[/quote:1xsvv2bv] Hey, it's no skin off my nose if our proposal has no legs. I'm a volunteer trying to do something positive as opposed to the risk of the council selling it to someone who may not necessarily have the best interests of our clubs as priority. What I would say is that I've been a vociferous critic of the football club owner over his ownership of the football club. And similarly over the years with those running fax. They are two separate entities...owners and clubs. At least I'm consistent, regardless of which club it is which should count for something. I want two successful club in a stable and thriving setting, and that's what this boils down to for me. You have an agenda. The working group has been nothing but positive and ambitious in relation to the two clubs. There is no agenda other than wanting what's best for both clubs so they can focus on on field matters. But I'll leave it there. Some people won't be won over...some people don't want to be won over. I'm fully committed to what we want to achieve, and as a group it's nothing but the best intentions. But I certainly won't be concerned about people chucking mud.

[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.
