Halifax's problem is mainly with the fact the council renaigned on an offer of a loan to the SST to finish the ground, supposedly a million quid! Then also said you gonna have a new (private) landlord! The lease they currently have would have to be given up when a new freeholder was found but the club would be invloved with the negoatiations so there's no real worry there IMO

There is a worry in the fact, for Fax, that the Shay will stay unfinished for a good 5 years at least then they need to find private investment

A kick in the teeth but still similar ownership details to the IES
