Published Date: 23 May 2008
A FOURTH resignation has hit the Halifax Town Supporters' Trust board.
Mark Yates resigned this afternoon and follows Pam Burton, Roger Bottomley and Anne Stajic.

The board and fans have been split over the future direction of Halifax Town which went into adminstration in March with debts of more than £2 million pounds.

Some are backing a consortium of businessmen in its efforts to reform the existing club while others prefer an alternative option being worked up by the trust for a fans' run club.

Mr Yates said he had resigned because the trust was trying to co-opt new board members.

"I think that is the wrong way to go and is not in the spirit of the membership," he said.

"The trust is not listening to its members.

"It is not asking members' what they want and is going with its own ideas - a meeting would tell them to `shut up` and back the consortium."

The only time that quiditch will be able to be played in halifax is if all the 200 so called fans/supporters pay at the turnstile just what it costs to stage a quiditch match at Hogwarts?.

Figures previously quoted are that it costs in the region of 50 groats per person/fan/supporter to stage a quiditch match at Hogwarts. Therefore each person passing through the turnstiles need to pay a minimum of 60 groats to make quiditch in halifax viable.

Just how many ex- Griffyndor fans/supporters would or could afford to pay this amount - people with other sports, pastimes and hobbies have to find the money from somewhere to keep persuing their hobby, why should quiditch be any different?

This sums up what a total baffon Yates is. A sad little Tory boy who runs a poxy little garden centre. He has been part of a Trust that has NEVER listened to its members but now because he doesn't agree with the little people having a voice he complains that what he has always done himself is unacceptable. What a complete joke of a human being. No wonder the club was a total shambes with the like of him involved.

The idea of a football trust is for supporters to run the club and not dodgy businessmen from out of town.If the trust backed the consortium then it wouldn't be a trust so bye bye Yates and good riddance.
