Just driven past,unless my eyes were deceiving me,the plaque has been removed or stolen.

It's probably been removed for safekeeping! Barry Sherman was in the examiner last month asking what was happening to the building. The current owner put it up for sale for 3million around Xmas time but no one has shown real interest-It's biggest issue IMO is the lack of parking.
What a shame!

Think you might be referring to the blue plaque outside the George Hotel there Jools.

This was the one fixed to the boundary wall of the Fartown ground on Spaines Road,directly opposite Wasp Nest Road.When they first fitted it I wondered how long it might be before someone tried to remove it.Could be wrong but from the photo it looks like it might be some type of metallic substitute.Doubt it's worth much.

We await further news on this.

Oops didn't read all the text on the plaque just the top few lines.

Little bleeders!!!!

what is up for sale at 3 million ??

george hotel , not a bad bit of business by the new owner who has strung everybody along saying he will turn it into this and that , meanwhile just waiting for the value to go up then sell

Except it's not selling.... And no ones interested....

l hope he,s paying his council taxes on it?

And yet the RFL bought Odsal because of it's iconic status within the game

Plaque def not there no more,no mention on official site or Examiner of circumstances behind it's disappearance.

Yawn! They didnt buy Odsal as usual you are talking complete crap.

They bought the lease to recover a debt thereby helping to ensure that one of the clubs in the top division didn't fold at the start of the season. That would have have consequences for the game as a whole if it couldn't fullfil it's fixtures at that stage. Mainly sky sports pumping less money in. Meaning less money for your club! But it would have brought the league into disrepute. you'd have had 1 less game for your season ticket too which would have gone down like a lead balloon.

They are in negotiations to sell said lease for a massive profit. Earning the game more money that it needs desperately.

How does that relate to a failed business owned by no one in the game in the centre of Huddersfield?

Short memories too. Remember how they helped you out with Sheffield?
Worked out well for them...

they bought the lease due to financial incompetence by a club before the season has even started - yes they did it because bradford effed up big time. Regardless of the reasons for it Bradford gained from it- yet it appears still continue to make bad financial decisions. In dire straits again because they insist on living above their means again and gamble paying full time wages they can't afford now they haven't made the top 4. Yes the RFL did it for the other teams....
As for Sheffield- Huddersfield were left with no choice, it was either merge or have their registration removed by the RFL. That would mean no team at all.
It's funny how Huddersfield/Sheffield is brought up time and again and hudds always made out to be the villain.
No one mentions hull/Gateshead or indeed how well the hetherington family did from the mergers!!!

You have accused other's of talking crap but you don't appear to know as much as you think you do.
The George hotel business is not the issue- it's the building that's important to RL. (And as it happens is architecturally a fine building) it also housed the Rugby League museum- the biggest collection of RL memorabilia anywhere.
