Currently in North West Mens League divison 4. Whilst the team is currently amateur, the club is being run as pretty much a semi-pro club. The stadium is a statement of intent for where we want to go, the club isn't there to make up numbers in NWML, we want to climb the ranks. The stadium also gives a great foundation to do that, attracting interest that would otherwise not be there.




That's the plan but there's a lot of work that needs to be done between then and now. The club has a wealthy board of businessmen and women and some very passionate RL backers. The club is looking to run self-sufficiently and this season we've covered our running costs through bringing in sponsorship. As you can imagine with a large stadium, the running costs aren't inconsiderable so the sponsorship that has been brought in is a big commitment to the club by local business'.

Yep, a strong team in Manchester can only be a good thing for Rugby League!

Thanks, let me know if you fancy sponsoring some RLFANS advertising boards.

Thanks for the comments, the first home league fixture is on Friday 20th March!

All they need now is to get sheik mansour hooked when he is walking into the stadium next door and the sport will really take off!

Good Afternoon!

Thank you very much for the kind comments above, it's heart warming to see the support for Manchester Rangers, not just from local people but clubs across the country. We have great ambition at the club and we want to make Rugby League a powerhouse in the city of Manchester, whilst keeping to our traditions and having a family and community focus.

Our next home game is on Friday 15th May with a 19:30 kick off, we would be delighted to see supporters from all clubs there to take in our match day experience!

Good Evening folks, just a quick update with regards to our game this Friday! We are hosting the playoff final for the Manchester regions champion schools spot, this will take place between Wright Robinson High School and Trinity High School. The two sides will fight it out for their place in the national competition, the game kicks off at 17:30 as a curtain raiser to our main event which kicks off at 19:30!

More details above!

Yes, on their club website it kind of implies that they are descendents of Broughton/Belle Vue Rangers and have the Championship of 1902 and two Challenge Cups of 1902 and 1911 on their Roll of Hounour.

Also on the club badge it has "Est.1877" (when Broughton were founded) on there as well as "Est.2015", and a 'motto' of "Back from the Ashes" with a Pheonix on there which implies that there's a bit of a rebirth going on there.

As a Mancunian i will be sure to check out a game of theirs soon!

Good Afternoon All, We had a hugely successful 2015 season, both on and off the field, thank you for those who came along and showed your support! We have now released our membership packages for the 2016 season, continuing to play at the 6,500 seater Manchester Regional Arena. It would be great to see existing and new fans at our games in 2016! Follow the link below for more info... www.manchesterrangers.co.uk/join ... ship-2016/

You say that, but I wouldn't be surprised if at some point citeh look to branch out beyond football, and playing under their noses puts MR in prime position to take advantage of that should it happen.

Best of luck, you Manc ********.

Thank you very much! We will imagine that the asterix's were a compliment.

Good luck , perhaps you could give Chris Hamilton a call he is looking for a decent ground for Oldham RLFC to play at next season, nowhere in Oldham available !

Thanks, Rochdale Warrior!

I believe Oldham announced Stalybridge Celtic FC as their ground this morning, it's a nice venue!

Suitably cold and windy

It would be nice to be able to buy the Manchester Rangers shirt if this is at all possibly ?

As a Mancunian & adopted Lobby Gobbler living in M46 I would love to have the jersey *the Club badge looks great*

Eventually it would be nice to get down to a game but I am unfortunately time poor & my beloved Centurions will always take priority, however I wish Manchester Rangers every success & a great future in RL.

Yes that is indeed possible, Ste! We will be launching our new kit for 2016 within the next few weeks and there will be details on how you can purchase a replica shirt. Thank you for your interest.

Thank you for your kind words, we are putting a lot of time and effort into developing grass roots Rugby League in Manchester at the moment and hopefully that investment will pay off in the future!

He'd walk away once they tried explaining the salary cap to him

This is actually fantastic for me as I live only 5 minutes walk from the Etihad stadium! Will definitely be going along to a few matches next season

Home from home then

Great to hear, we look forward to welcoming you!
