@ShaymenStats Have you seen this tptvencore.co.uk/product/tpmov0… with a short segment at the Shay in May 1945 for a "Northern Cup" tie v Chesterfield?

The MP has agreed to raise these points with the council and at the same time offered the opportunity for us to meet with her. We hope that the meeting will take place in early April and we will provide a summary in due course. - Friends of The Shay: friendsoftheshay.substack.com/p/local-mp-off…

@ShaymenStats Given that the Council’s own FOI response of 30 January 2026 confirmed that the contractual framework remains unfinished and that no agreed liability exists, at what point does the Council consider that a legally operative disposal decision will have been made?

@ShaymenStats Why were Cabinet members not informed of the Football Foundation grant conditions, including the 21-year legal charge, the mandatory lease, and the clawback liability, when they approved the disposal in March 2025?

@ShaymenStats & does the Council consider that this omission was consistent with standards of financial governance & due diligence expected in the disposal of a significant public asset?

@ShaymenStats Why were no options appraisal, Value for Money assessment, or independent valuation produced before the disposal decision was made?...

On what evidential basis did the Council conclude that disposal would have no adverse equality impact, given that its own Equality Impact Assessment contains blank assessment matrices and acknowledges that the Council holds no data on stadium users?

@ShaymenStats @hxfoyboy1988 ...to pose several key questions to the Council. In summary these are; How does the Council reconcile its public claim of 55% support for disposal with FOI reference 53604, which shows that only 3 out of 1,545 respondents explicitly supported an open market sale?

@hxfoyboy1988 @ShaymenStats While I appreciate the detailed work you have done into this process, it would not be appropriate under the circumstances for me to claim that the council’s legal advice is wrong’. Not satisfied with this initial response, we sent a follow up asking Ms Dearden...

@ShaymenStats FotS initially contacted the MP in Feb & she responded last week stating that; ‘You will appreciate that I am not qualified to assess or comment on detailed legal arguments, and it was right for these to be addressed by those directly involved in the process and their legal team.

Halifax MP Kate Dearden has offered to meet with directors of the company behind the Friends of the Shay to discuss further the concerns that we have raised regarding the disposal of the stadium. She has also confirmed that she will raise specific questions with the council.
