Halifax Town: Give us the figures
St Ives Court, Furzehill Road, Torquay
WHILE one appreciates the concern of various writers about Halifax Town it appears that these writers are just as sloppily minded as the people who got the club into its present state.
A prime example is Johnny Meynell's attempt to historically apportion blame but his long article ("I'll name the real killers of Halifax Town", Courier, May 14) does not contain one set of figures.
Figures have caused the trouble at the Shay and other clubs.
With the run-of-the-mill ex-footballer who overnight becomes manager you have to "speculate to disintegrate". Questions I wish to ask:
How much debt was left by Jim Brown? How much debt was left by Bob Walker and Paul Bracewell?
How much debt was there when Chris Wilder became manager and how much is there now? What was the season's total attendance when Wilder took over and what is it now?
Figures, figures and more figures are what one needed to apportion blame for the past and certainly figures are needed to stabilise the future, not airy-fairy, undisciplined opinions.
