Re: Shay rent : Sat May 18, 2024 1:11 pm  
Maybe we should merge with Bradford, name the club “West’s” based on the geography and look for a site for a nice new ground somewhere in the Shelf / Brighouse area to mitigate any border issues, pool fan base / resources etc etc.

All stadia problems solved, all IMG boxes ticked for both clubs. Super League here we come for us all.

Re: Shay rent : Sun May 19, 2024 9:37 am  
I've said this before, but for one reason or another the Shay simply hasn't worked for Fax. Regardless of what the "official" capacity is, it's a 20k stadium, far too big with 2 stands permanently empty. It'll probably be cheaper starting a new 10k stadium from scratch somewhere on the outskirts, far cheaper to run and more suited to RL.

I'd be open to this merger. We could try a club name that would be recognisable but that isn't currently in use. As Bulls and Panthers are both in use and there's already a Wests Warriors...maybe something like "Halifax RLFC" for the new merged club name might work?

The Bradford contingency could well have a issue with the name proposal with only Halifax in it although if keep heading in the current direction we might be merging with Siddal and in that scenario the name Halifax won’t be in use so could be available.

W*nky West’s then when we were away at Fev they wouldn’t know what to sing without seeming to be supporting us.

At least so far I haven’’t been banned or received any death threats for suggesting it, as of 2024 and beyond with the RFL & IMG it’s the only way to be as sure as you can be to make progress into the 12.

Re: Shay rent : Sat May 25, 2024 9:20 pm  
I still think developing ovenden park could be an answer. the rent at the shay is just too high with no bar income . The dining package is just becoming a joke . it might be a case of start again on a low stadium and build to needs . We have ended up in a place that just doesnt give a business chance to thrive . You cant exist without income from your own bar .

Totally agree. Like I said in an earlier post, the Shay is far too big for Fax and Town. I can't see the Skircoat stand ever being used again and we don't even open the North Stand for the Bulls anymore.

The Council could raise a few million selling the Shay and split it 3 ways between themselves, Fax and Town. We could then move on to develop our own self contained smaller stadium and start a new era.

Im not sure how I would feel about moving to a new home. Let us not forget however, the Shay was redeveloped to such a size at the request of the rugby club, who then went on to not pay a penny towards it.

The biggest problem though would be finding the right location for a new stadium. Ovenden Park is a no go...even if the facilities were upgraded, it wouldnt pass planning due to a) a lack of parking and b) the traffic created on a matchday. Lowfields would have been ideal, but thats pretty much full up.

Calderdale has a very uneven landscape, with limited flat spaces empty. Youd also need good public transport links.

I think we are both stuck with the Shay and its a case of finding a way to work together
