The Shay is a multi-purpose sports stadium in Halifax, West Yorkshire, England. It is home to the F.C. Halifax Town football club and the Halifax Panthers rugby league team.
The stadium is owned by the Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council[1] and leased by the Shay Stadium Trust, a not-for-profit company set up to preserve the ground as a sports stadium.
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.
