This could have serious ramifications if HTAFC reach their potential.

Actually - jokes aside - i bet Wigan and Hull are papping it right now

think we may be safe though.

Nah, the Premier League have no legal right whatsoever to tell Dave Whelan and Hull Council what they can do with their stadiums. Its just mid table teams trying to come up with reasons for loosing.

Course they can, just like SL can reject a club if the capacity of their stadium isnt big enough.

And the resulting court case would be epic! Then the High court case. Then the EU case. Then the CoA case. Would never happen in football.

we'll be ok coz Fax have been here longer than the football club as Halifax town went bust, so no probs









stands back and waits for the bricks and bottles to start flying

Plus have we not just signed a new 10 yr lease with the council?

Wigan have a 50 year lease anyway. I think it's just a naff article by the Daily Mail. Just thought i'd put it out there - take the heat off the woes nearer to home

Doubt there is much the premiership could do legally as both Hull and Wigan have long running contracts to use the Stadium. And why no mention of Reading who have London Irish playing there as well?

Reading aren't in the Premier League. Also, Rugby Union has little impact on the state of the pitch as they play so little on it. The ball's bouncing around on the terraces for 68% of the game

Daily Wail in talking rubbish. Nothing new. Next

I expected the comments at the bottom of the article to football fans backing the article. Far from it!
