It is important for any side to be able to
produce their own talent, particularly in
the current financial climate and this is an
area that they appear to have covered. It
will certainly be exciting to see how their
youngsters are able to develop over the
coming years.
They are also able to boast some high
quality facilities having sold part of its
property in 1996 to Morrisons Supermarket
for £1.4 million in order to fund the purchase
of Lockwood Park. Since gaining the land
they’ve turned their home into a £4 million
major sports complex backed by a £1.84
million Sports Council lottery grant.
They now have a main floodlit pitch with
a capacity of 1,500 and seating for 500
people. They also have additional rugby
pitches and an all-weather pitch. Having
these facilities should help them to attract
and retain high quality players.
Huddersfield is clearly a superbly run
establishment off the field and they appear
to have everything in place to enable them
to look forwards to a bright and successful
future. Hopefully they will be able to
continue in the same manner and everyone
at Rugby Club Magazine would like to wish
them the best of luck for the years to come.
