From the Wikipedia article
The Shay is a multi-purpose sports stadium in Halifax, West Yorkshire, England. It is home to the FC Halifax Town association football club and the Halifax Panthers rugby league team. The stadium is owned by the Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council, who formerly leased the stadium to the Shay Stadium Trust, a nonprofit organisation set up to preserve the ground as a sports stadium. The council agreed to sell the stadium to Huddersfield Giants owner and local businessman Ken Davy in March 2025, however the sale is yet to be completed. The Shay lies on the south side of Halifax, about a quarter of a mile from the town centre. The four stands at the stadium include the North Stand, the East Stand, the South Stand and the Skircoat Stand. The North and South stands were built in the mid-1990s. The Skircoat Stand is the oldest stand in the stadium.
