So lets turn this one around, what if this was FCHT and it was HRLFC fans doing FOIs to find out every month if FCHT were up to date with their rent, what would FCHT fans think of that Gavin???
You know what they would say FCUK off wouldn't they?
Also what if it was FCHT paying more rent than HRLFC, you know the answer to that one as well they would be marching on the Town Hall!
This vendetta is purely about some (quite a few) Town fans HATRED of HRLFC and is pathetic, as a Town fan as well as a Fax fan I can recall over the fifty plus years that I have supported both teams numerous times when Halifax Town (as was) were in the sh*t and had financial trouble yet this all seems to have been forgotten, even the fact that HTFC went bust owing a small fortune!
Thankfully Town are not in any financial trouble and things are all hunky dory, but if they had carried on like the start of the season and been bottom of the league who knows what would have happened? The point is sports clubs fortunes go up and down and Town could one day be in trouble and it would be interesting to see if some of these so called fans would still be around and also what FCHT fans would think if Fax fans started offering their opinion on the state of FCHT say one day they could not pay their rent?
Hopefully this won't happen but some Town fans have short memories, personally I am sick of this cr7p and whilst I do not agree with fax not paying their rent I do agree paying more for nearly half the number of games is wrong and again how would Town fans feel if it was the other way around??

Do the FC Town fans stick their noses into other council tennants rent arrears??? Or just the rugby clubs??

They don't represent FC Town fans as a whole but claim to and think they do.

They don't represent the Halifax community as a whole but claim to and think they do.

They do represent only themselves, a small obsessed number who share their hatred based views against Fax feeding off one another just like any other extremist faction.

Over time apart from Fax they have lyingly attacked individuals and their family members, other life long fellow FC Town fans who support both Town and Fax and charities etc, etc.

It's all on record on the public forums without the need for an FOI.

Thankfully talking and typing is all they have done so far and anyone who isn't as biased as they are on reading it and hearing it see's it for what it is.

Lets not forget the courier in all of this by Sensationalist headlining I didn`t see a big headline ( or missed it if they have )when they did pay the rent . Wind up merchants.
