Shall we build a warehouse on Stone Henge whilst we are at it? Historical landmarks, buildings and monuments are part of our nation's unique and wonderful heritage. The George Hotel represents a key moment in British sports history. Perplexed as to why any sports fan would have such feelings.

But it makes little sense for the RFL to throw money at what, given the evidence from two business recovery agencies, seems to be a lost cause. Quite frankly, I'm not that surprised that they haven't been able to find too many people willing to spend £100+ a night to kip next to Huddersfield station.

For sure, it is a huge shame given the role it played in the sport that I know and love, but mourning it's closure isn't going to do anybody any good.

Its a shame the RFL have already used cash to save one 'iconic RL building' in the past 12 months cos this is one we COULD do with saving. the moving from Red Hall is a brilliant idea, but i dont think it will happen somehow......

Sad as it is for the people who will lose their jobs, it would be bonkers for the RFL to throw central funds at a failing business wouldn't it - even one that could claim genuine 'iconic' status?

They could look to help with re-housing the collection though - I imagine the Giants would be happy to host it at the Galpharm, which seems appropriate given the geography.

Don't think the Terriers would be happy with that somehow. With it being a Soccer Stadium.

Thought the RFL were supposed to be moving to Media City?

The World Cup organisers are based in Media City, I think they have about 20 employees there. I imagine that post World Cup the media/marketing team will move into the office. Pretty sure they also have a location in London for the staff based down there.

Given that the Giants also play there, doesn't that make it both a football and a RL stadium?

Either way - there's an ambitious RL stadium project about to get underway in Wakefield; I'm sure they could find room for it there.

Lets just say the RFl were to buy it they could use it for:
1. RFL office space
2. Expand the museum
3. Have a rugby league shop ( mainly for England merchandise)
4. Room hire for all events
5. Still keep a small number of rooms for Hotel use.
6. Hold rugby league events such as forums and award ceremony's

The possibilities are endless

Its a listed building. Its going nowhere.

Not according to the HTAFC fans it isn.t.

I wouldn't know anything about that; football is dead to me.
