I wanted to take a moment to speak openly with you about where the game, and our Club, currently stands.

The Championship is at a critical point. A number of clubs are experiencing well-publicised financial difficulties, and it’s widely accepted that others may follow. These are challenging times for the sport as a whole, and we would be doing you a disservice if we pretended otherwise.

Here at Hunslet, we are stable and viable for the immediate future. However, we must also recognise that we are currently reliant on the incredible support of two main benefactors. While we are immensely grateful for that backing, long-term sustainability requires a broader base of support.

That’s where you come in.

If you’re someone who supports Hunslet but hasn’t been down to a game in a while, now is the time to return. Your presence matters, not just in numbers, but in the energy and identity of our Club.

If you’re in a position to go a little further, there are simple but meaningful ways to help. Whether it’s taking part in the weekly draw, buying a drink or a burger on matchday, or upgrading to King or Watson membership, every contribution helps strengthen the Club’s future.

As previously communicated we are always open to discussions with potential investors in the Club, whether that is individuals or consortiums.  The long term future of the Club remains our number 1 priority.

There is much reason for optimism. The introduction of a salary cap will bring greater economic sense, stability and competitiveness to the game, and ongoing discussions around potential investment offer hope for growth and improvement across the sport.

We firmly believe we have a great product.  We are a Club with proud history, passionate people, and a strong place in the community. But if we want to keep it, we must back it.

These are important moments, but they are not without opportunity. With your support, we can build something more sustainable and ensure Hunslet continues to move forward.

Thank you, as always, for your loyalty and belief.
