Secret rift between Broadcasting House and Peter Levy uncovered

Ken Davy looking to buy The Shay and relocate Huddersfield to Halifax from 2026, until they have a new ground built. Buying and upgrading The Shay facilities/pitch would instantly give Hudds extra IMG points, through ground ownership; other non-matchday income from 2 sitting tenants (FCHT and Halifax RL); and a smaller capacity would improve their crowd utilisation score. Otherwise at risk of losing the SL status (along with Salford) if other Championship clubs improve.

Can’t imagine his children being in favour of it.

Probably grants and funding available for ground improvements too. Might be a matter of needs must. Think Huddersfield are going in one direction with regards IMG points and expect a threat from York, Bradford and Toulouse in the next year or so. Would secure their SL future if it gave them an extra IMG point or two.

London v Goole on iPlayer Saturday 25th Jan. Will be their first game

Connor Wynne managed to get himself sent off in a pre season game against Goole tonight

Just a reminder that the Challenge Cup Round Two fixture between London and Goole is live on BBC iPlayer and the red button at 12.30 today. We'll also find out our Round Three opponents later after the game between York Acorn and Oulton Raiders.

Goole giving a good account of themselves.

Wow, London in trouble here. You'd expect them to nick it in the end but fair play to Goole.

Goole doing better than we did last season. I'd forgot it was on

Brett ferres looks like he's keeping himself in shape

[quote="Quirkyusername":8mzkelsc]Goole giving a good account of themselves.[/quote:8mzkelsc] Well done Goole. Entertaining game. Great to see so many ex Hull players.

Well done Tag

Brilliant from Goole, big congratulations to them and especially Tag. Have no love for London, glad to see them crash out to a lower division team.

A terrific performance and a thoroughly deserved win.

Great win for Goole! Really please for Tag, Shauly and Clarkie. A home Derby v Wakefield for them in the next round. Hopefully they’ll sell out. Think their ground holds 3,500. Should get a few going from Wakey and a few RL fans from Hull might pop along too for the game. Great start for them and will help them promote the club to the locals.

Great result for West Hull earning them a tie against Saints, shame that it’s most likely going to be played at Craven Park

[quote="bishops finger":2f2vr608]How did your reserves and juniors get on against York in your behind closed doors friendly?[/quote:2f2vr608] Bit touchy.
