The only way i can see the club surviving is to have its own clubhouse and bar income . They have the shop back in the clubs control so it would certainly be a gamble but maybe one worth the effort. The current business model just doesnt really work for either club they survive but dont thrive.
Holiday Inn have supposedly been moving into the derelict Theatre Royal in town since the Piece Hall reopened! Obviously not in a rush.
You'd think there would be a market for a large, budget hotel in Halifax now, especially with all the Piece Hall Events.
Council's survey on the budget proposals suggests 3 outcomes for the "disposal" of The Shay,
- Transfer to 1 club with other as tenant
- Transfer to Stadium Co with both clubs involved
- Dispose of on open market
I don't know what they're going to do, I think most options will get blocked by various means
