Quote: mark_m "Me neither; the club would have survived but we would be a very different animal now.

I am reading a book written by Ray French written in the late eighties (More Kinds Of Rugby) and it is talking about Huddersfield being in the third division to enable them to build back up the club so it is an amazing turnaround to see them today. Like most clubs, often all you need is the will and deep pockets of one or more individuals in the mould of people like Ken Davy or John Wilkinson at Salford.'"


A massive handout from the RFL for a shambolic merger with Sheffield went a long way to help Hudds!

Quote: getdownmonkeyman "Personally, I couldn't see it. If you are outside the top level of sport, you certainly appear to lose a lot of clout.'"


That was what I was thinking; the report kept stressing the role of the club as the sporting focus of the town and the 'public need'. Wouldn't have been so strong if the club had to turn part-time and half the sponsors and supporters bailed out.

The public inquiry was in 2001. We got the yes verdict in December 2001, so the issue of relegation wouldn't have been a factor with the public inquiry. The final plans with Tesco were agreed in about May 2002. Remember Tesco wanted to have their supermarket to make money, and they couldn't have the supermarket without the stadium.

That was the council approving the final plans. The hardest part had already been done at that stage by getting the public inquiry yes. The council had already indicated their support for the stadium in summer 2000.

Remember part of the argument was that for Warrington Wolves to have a long term Super League future we would need to have a new stadium, so without it we did face being in the lower leagues. Even if we had gone down the argument would have been the same, ie we need a stadium which meets the criteria to come back up.

I wonder how Simon Moran would have reacted if we'd been relegated in 2002. He might have wanted to move in and buy a majority share then, it would have cost him less to buy the club than it did in mid 2004 in SL with a new stadium. He would certainly have been able to fund us running a dominant NL squad. Cullen could have been the messiah that took us out of the lower leagues and won our first trophy in 12 years.
