Brilliant news , it seems the lottery is to become a partner of our game , that's if I've read it right. Now confirmed by the BBC.
Hardly a sponsor, it appears we've got a small grant off them after going round with a begging bowl, a bit embarrassing really having to rely on charity to keep on going, a bit like the £135 million from the Government Covid Grant going to Rugby Union and Rugby League being given £12 million
They are an official partner now to the RFL and will be the title sponsor to the Womens England game in June.
Its a good thing we have them on board. The funding is not coming from camelot or the good causes fund. Its promotional money.
The RFL received 16Mil because thats what they asked for. RFU got £135mil because thats what they asked for. Nothing to do with Charity. More to do with the fact that the government had to shut everything down with covid and to keep sports teams from going under they provided them with the support they needed.
Ask a local politician how that works Webber?
