Quote ="mrs cindy russell"Will there be the same parking as usual or will there be more with no rugby at the Galpharm on SDRL Conference day. I would also expect more input from the Head Office of our games ruling body......maybe it's true what we think, we just the cash cows in their thoughts......grannyfan Cindy'"
There is limited free parking available at The George Hotel as well as numerous pay parking facilities around the town centre. Huddersfield Town have an away match on October 9th so it is reasonable to expect that anyone wishing to park at the Stadium and walk to the Hotel would be able to do so although obviously I cannot confirm that as it is a different venue.
It's important to note that whilst the RFL are supportive of my role with Supporters Direct and do indeed put some funding into it (along with The Coop Group), Supporters Direct is a very separate organisation and this event is not in any way being run by the RFL.
Its true, that many clubs do look upon their supporters as merely fundraisers and this is something Supporters Direct are trying to address by increasing supporter representation and influence within rugby league.
