A big thank you to the Hare and Hounds who are one of our shirt sponsors for a second season. The popular Rothwell pub is run by the Collin Family, who are also working tirelessly to build the Club’s food and drink offering on match days and beyond.

Mark Collin, who is the Club’s Hospitality and Bars Director, explained: “I’ve been involved for a couple of seasons now, and it’s been a steep learning curve for me. While the technical side of things is very much the same as running the pub, the customer base is very different in that it is much more varied. While price is a driver for some supporters, it is quality for others, and getting the right balance is the challenge we have. One thing we always strive to do, though, is give value for money and do it with a smile.”

There is no doubting that Mark, and his family, go above and beyond for Hunslet. As well as the hundreds of voluntary hours, he is also providing financial backing for a second season. So why Hunslet?

“It was Jarvo who got me involved. He did warn me it would be a challenge but said it would get into my blood. He was right. I love it, and I am enjoying playing my part. The Club is in a good place and there really is no limit as to where we can go if we all pull in the same direction. Dean and the boys showed the way on the pitch. We can do the same off it.”

Once again, on behalf of the Club a big thank you to Mark and everyone at the Hare and Hounds for their continued support. Hunslet fans, let’s make sure we support those that support us. If you are in the area, call in to the Hare where you will be guaranteed a warm welcome.
