Red Hall can't even find a sponsor yet for The World Cup! Super League or The Challenge Cup???

You missed Tetleys sponsoring the CC then?

Tetley challenge cup

When I win tomorrows Euromillions.

How refreshing to get a post with real information from those involved. Thank you.

interestingly councils can borrow money at very cheap rates and my guess is a decent investment case could be made using current rental money would service the loan. plus you would hope control would allow RL to make some money from it rather than for other people

This could be like the Newham Council/ West Ham deal re-the Olympic stadium. Could be a good investment all-round.

Apologies, interesting the marketing trade press never gave a financial figure!

very interesting.

We have the RFL claiming that lots of small sponsors is better than one, but no financial information released on any of these supposedly "better" deals. No naming rights sponsor and I doubt Heinz, Foxy Bingo or Brut have paid even 10% of the revenue received from Engage....

More interesting is that the naming rights of the 2000 RLWC went for 1 million quid and I have serious doubts as to the "financials" of the Marriot and Hertz "partnerships" announced to date.

I haven't read through the five pages but no, no, NO! Skolars are a club that are being run magnificently by those at the club, have put roots down in their local community and have stayed in the same ground for more than 40 minutes. To be taken over by Hughes and the London Nomads, which is effectively what would happen, would be catastrophic for the game in London and for Skolars as a club.

There doesn't seem to be any talk of mergers coming from those "in the know". There were talks about ground sharing and a couple of folk seem to have made a mountain out of a molehill.

Being an ex-Haringey Boy who has still has a few connections in the borough, I have been making a few inquiries regarding The New River Stadium (NRS). Whilst this bidding process is currently, as previously described, is running I am lead to believe that the Council "would look very favourably to the idea of selling the NRS to a new owner with a view that remains for sporting purposes and not for re-development for non sporting purposes" and that local authority support for the idea of one (or more) professional RL sides playing out of a shiny new privately owned stadium would be a reasonably easy sell (as these things go) to councillors and other local "partners".

I am lead to believe that a possible resolution to the "athletics club issue" at NRS, could be if any new stadium owner was prepared to invest in upgrading the rather shabby athletic facilities in Finsbury Park, therefore allowing Enfield and Haringey Athletic Club to continue have their two sites set up they currently have.

Even if any prospective owners could get to this "Starting point", "There would still be a few pieces on the chessboard that would need to be moved to take this plan forward, but it may take some time to do so".

Clearly this scenario would be a long term view and would need some real commitment from any prospective new owners of the Bronco's.

It appears that relations at a "senior level" between the two clubs are less cordial than they have been in the past.

I hope that there is someone out there who could be persuaded of the merits of such an approach. However, I'm not holding my breath ............................................

no issues with any one at a senior level at either club. very cordial and respectful tbh.
