The difference this time around is that the shoots in the scholarship are there. We've got our elite academy license, we've employed the coaches, we've managed to recruit a decent crop of scholars and have changed the whole academy pathways, and are days away from spades going in the ground and a massive shift in facilities for our club.

It has for many years been alot of talk but this is a different Rovers then in years gone by. Youth wasn't valued at all, ask fans within the community game about Rovers priorities and you'll be surprised.

[quote="Rugby Raider":21mtlz62]Ken Davy looking to buy The Shay and relocate Huddersfield to Halifax from 2026, until they have a new ground built. Buying and upgrading The Shay facilities/pitch would instantly give Hudds extra IMG points, through ground ownership; other non-matchday income from 2 sitting tenants (FCHT and Halifax RL); and a smaller capacity would improve their crowd utilisation score. Otherwise at risk of losing the SL status (along with Salford) if other Championship clubs improve.[/quote:21mtlz62] Has Ken Davy really got that amount of money to dispose of, he’ll never get it back. Can’t imagine his children being in favour of it.

Probably grants and funding available for ground improvements too. Might be a matter of needs must. Think Huddersfield are going in one direction with regards IMG points and expect a threat from York, Bradford and Toulouse in the next year or so. Would secure their SL future if it gave them an extra IMG point or two.
