Looks like another name change for Belle Vue is on its way as Rapid Solicitors have been bought out by Neil Hudgells law firm, the guy who owns Hull KR. Given the sponsorship deal was up for renewal i can't see him wanting to put money into a rival club.

He may keep it.
The point of the sponsorship is advertising for the local office. Unless he is closing them down it will still stand as equally valuable.

Who knows.

If it was up for renewal, the team may be looking elsewhere anyway, so as you say, name change possibly imminent.

The club were in talks to renew accordinng to the boss man. I think their offices are in Hull anyway so that won't be a factor. There were plenty of things they sponsored though, ice hockey, superbikes etc so he may continue but i'd be surprised given the Hull KR connection.

No name change for the Rapid Solcitors as they have a contract with a very successful BSB racing team.

They also have advertising hoardings up at the KC Stadium. So I can't see it being a problem at Wakefield

No big surprise there for me. They made my daughter redundant 9 months ago 3 weeks after promoting her, so I suspected they were in la la land then. As it happens, I would say that trying to get Neil Hudgell involved in Trinity would not be bad idea. He is an East Hull-ite I believe but is also a businessman wanting to expand his law firm. If he's taken over I'd be having a chat. He's a businessman and a good friend says he's ok.

Yes they have involvement in Hull City, though of course they are not rivals...but I'm sure a solicitor can sort something out that keeps all parties happy if he wants to
