Heard a rumour today that Huddersfield are considering "merging" with Fax, with the purchase of the Shay being in the mix. Coincidentally I mentioned Huddersfield's huge debts on another thread so I assume they know they can't continue bleeding money.
Maybe playing as "Huddersfield" at the Shay? Daft indeed, but we're talking about Rugby League here. I don't know how it would work. There's some very well connected folk on here, so it'll be interesting if they've heard anything or this rumour is indeed just a rumour.
Not heard anything from Fax but on theme Kirklees Council are wanting shut of the ground as they have reportable loaned out millions to the clubs which they are apparently willing write off and it requires a further 10 million spending on back dated maintenance work.
The ground can only be sold to either both Town and Giants or either one of them subject to negotiations which Ken Davy and Town owner Kevin Nagle have been lately taking part in with Nagle particularly keen.
If true they could be looking for a new ground and with CMBC’s commitment for the Shay to be used by FCT and Fax maybe Davy would by both the Panthers and the stadium.
Alternatively it could be all closer to Hudds assessment of the situation.
