Halifax council has agreed to the sale of The Shay sports stadium to Huddersfield Giants owner Ken Davy. The Super League side will play their games at The Shay from 2026 until their new stadium is built and opened around 2028/2029.

The sale of The Shay comes with strict conditions which must be met including the covenant that the ground can only be used for sports.

This will protect the long-term future of both the Halifax Panthers and Halifax Town.

I don’t mean this in a bad way but if I was a Giants fan the first thing I’d be hoping is Ken lives long enough to see this whole masterplan through. Yesterday they had about 1500 at best watching them against Trinity, that’s the hardcore and most of them will probably watch them at the Shay, but Ken is bailing them out weekly and it isn’t going to financially get better anytime soon.
