Quote: Lowton_Sparrow "I presume the players association is going to be working with the Heritage Numbers when that is released (should be very interesting and I'm looking forward to it), that should be one of the main purposes of the players association, keeping the history of the club alive. I think that should be the key to associate membership, how important people were to the history of the club, in 20 or 50 or 100 years people will want to know that Paul Rowley was the coach that got us into Super League and John Roddy was the chairman with an excellent board round him that secured the future of the club in the top flight, I don't think there'll be quite as much interest in who was water carrier or ball boy at the time (despite the essential job they do).'"
With all due respect there are circumstances where there will be interest in who the water carrier was...there's one at the club now, probably been there for 15 years+, I wouldn't like to put a number on the amount of lifelong friendships he's made at the club.
