Hornets News

Date published: 21 September 2012


As some members maybe aware, several Championship Clubs are forming partnership agreements with Super League Clubs.

Rochdale Hornets have been in discussion for some time now with a leading Super League Club. The discussions have been very positive and a lot of mutual respect has developed.

Both clubs have now agreed to progress the discussion further and it is hoped for an agreement to be finalised shortly.

The board will be available at Thursdays Election Results Night to take questions and give members as much information as possible about this exciting piece of news.

Election Night!
7.00pm Thursday the 27 is Election results night when members can see who has been elected to the board of Rochdale Hornets after the recent ballot.

It promises to be a great night as those lucky enough to have won seats on the board are announced along with news about the proposed Super League partnership and also news of the coaching structure for 2013.

Every member is urged to attend at Spotland for what should be one of the most positive and exciting evenings in our recent history.
