Past, present and regarding the future they’ve always been the same but let’s take a look.
They like to talk about subjects such as History and keep banging on about Tony Abbott and currently about the tax man or unpaid rent and damaging the pitch.
Conveniently forgetting about their own history under JB when over a million never got paid to HMRC and that season’s rent likewise never got paid as did many of their own staff and several local businesses who got screwed over.
They have the history of being the biggest sporting club debtors in the local community ever, indisputable fact.
On the pitch it’s Calderdale Council who are responsible for providing one that’s fit for purpose, on the one hand they publicly state what the Shay must be used for ( in part at least football and rugby ) and yet at the same time fail to do so making several half arsed half funded failed attempts instead of fixing it, many other teams share the same stadiums and don’t have this problem every year.
It’s the Council who can’t run the stadium at a profit and are desperate to get rid not the rugby club who are desperate to buy it but like everyone else with knowing CMBC’s intent because they don’t want to leave are being forced to try and do so on their own with no support from the football club.
On the pitch that’s not fit for purpose.
The rugby club don’t decide when the season starts, if and when they are drawn at home during the wettest months or how bad the weather will be during winter or after a bad spell of weather if a game should go ahead or not.
It’s also worth noting that before the rugby club have even gone anywhere near the pitch the football team have been running around on it all throughout October, November, December and parts of January during that same wet winter period knocking hell out of it in the process and during a full season who plays on it the most, yes we should pay our rent but why is it the same for the team that uses it less?
As said it’s CMBC who are desperate to offload the Shay and it’s imminently coming to a head with only the rugby club showing any initiatives.
