Re: Some good news for Bradford : Wed Sep 21, 2016 11:26 am  
Or to save you a click;

The new National Rugby League Museum is to be based in Bradford.

The museum is scheduled to open in the West Yorkshire city in 2020 to mark the 125th anniversary of the code's formation in nearby Huddersfield.
The museum will display the sport's historical artefacts within Bradford City Hall.
It is to be funded from a range of sources, including private benefactors and government grants, charity Rugby League Cares said.
Bradford was selected by a working group chaired by the director of the National Football Museum, Dr Kevin Moore.

Bradford club Manningham were founder members of the Northern Union (now Rugby League) in 1895 and won the game's first championship before later switching to football and becoming Bradford City.
The city also holds the UK record for the biggest crowd for a rugby match when an official 102,575 spectators watched the Challenge Cup final replay, Halifax v Warrington at Odsal Stadium in 1954.
Bradford Bulls have also made six summer-era Grand Final appearances, winning three times.

Chris Rostron, of Rugby League Cares, said it had seen the city's "positivity for this very prestigious project".
Brigid Power, heritage manager for the charity, said: "We have some fantastic objects and archive material in our collection, which we are continually adding to
"Our most recent donation has come from one of Bradford's finest rugby league legends, Ernest Ward, whose son Trevor has very kindly donated some of his father's medals, boots and photographs."
Ward played more than 390 matches for Bradford Northern in the 1940s and '50s.

Is this Stevo's old museum at the George, or a new collection?

IIRC the RL Heritage Collection at the George Hotel was put in secure storage following financial issues/sale of the hotel a few years ago, and this is the announcement of a permanent home for the collection.

There's been a bidding process But please feel free to ignore that. Bradford's bid was very strong and included a large contribution from the the Bulls foundation. A great charity that do a lot of work dedicated to preserving and highlighting the heritage of our sport. Most recently including a large research project on Rugby league players whose careers were cut short or interrupted by service in the First World War.

However, you and the other professionally outraged examiner readers are welcome to ignore the facts and do a mass dummy spit

There are only two places a Rugby League Museum should be situated and they are Huddersfield or Wigan.

Huddersfield because that is where the game was founded in 1895.

Wigan because it is the home of the most well known club in the game and who have won the most trophies.

To select Bradford is another poor decision by the RFL.

There are already enough reasons not to go to Wigan.

Bradford isn't the only club that have heritage projects- but feel free to ignore that too.
