Hunslet aiming to turn free RFL fans' sign-up to financial advantage
Chief executive Martin Flynn has written to Hunslet supporters outlining how they can boost the Parksiders’ hopes of building a squad and club capable of winning promotion from League One.
Flynn says: “Each year teams in League One all receive the same level of central distribution funding to help run the club. The Rugby Football League (RFL) are looking to change the way the funding is assessed and clubs will, in future, be measured against a number of criteria – then the more criteria fulfilled the higher the funding per club.
“One of the criteria is ‘number of members’.

Fans have been urged to log on to https://membership.rugby-league.com to sign up as an RFL member.
When prompted, they should select the option confirming they support Hunslet RLFC.
Flynn added: “The whole process will take less than five minutes and will help Hunslet in maintaining our RFL funding in the years to come.”
Hunslet visit Hemel Stags for their opening League One fixture on Sunday, February 18.
