JM2010 Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Are there any more clubs in Hemel or are the Stags the only one? Do they have any plans to create satellite junior clubs in the town? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wish the RFL had some kind of community strategy and fund to help these areas expand and strengthen. I think Hemel have quite a well run schools program don't they?

newbe Posted November 5, 2021 Author Share Posted November 5, 2021 Most secondary schools play league in Hemel, and progress to the Carniege Comp, plus there is the London Junior League, from U -12 to U - 18. Then onto to the Southern Conference League. Not many if any own the ground, function room, separate bar, 1700 play a weekly lottery £650 paid out weekly. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbe Posted January 21 Author Share Posted January 21 (edited) Good to see Stags have been awarded a substantial grant for ground improvements, much needed. Also nice a large grant to a Southern based club. Seems the the RFL do want league down south. Edited January 21 by newbe 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how many other clubs have applied to the fund? (It is so easy to do) I also wonder how many were not given what they asked for? My guess is, not all clubs, and no clubs. Easy to criticise the RFL at times, but in this instance, the money has been there for more than 2 years now for this sort of project. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbe Posted January 21 Author Share Posted January 21 I was told that Hemel had to match the grant. Shows how well the club is run. The total project cost will announced when completed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubs do have to put in their own money too, and the criteria require navigation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbe Posted January 23 Author Share Posted January 23 There is various grant's. World Cup Facilities grant, clubs have to contribute a certain %.There is also other grants where you can get 100% ie pitch maintenance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebrewxi Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Did Ottawa pay money for their licence? If so that must have been a nice little windfall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

World cup grants are closed at the moment until March I believe Carlsberg don't do Soldiers, but if they did, they would probably be Brits. http://www.pitchero....hornemarauders/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very quick turnaround too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
langpark Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 What is the long-term goal for the club? Would playing NCL make any sense? Or would that be just as expensive as playing in League One? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbe Posted April 24 Author Share Posted April 24 Just seen they have added another set of changing rooms, looks like things are happening there. Seems like they setting themselves up as main focal point for RL in the South. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 (edited) Not sure what's happening at Hemel. One one hand Hemel pulled their 'A' team out of the East RL before the season started saying they couldn't raise a squad each week, and now just been told that Hemel Stags 1st team have called off their game at Eastern Rhinos in the Southern Conference League. On the other hand they are revamping their ground and doing a good job there by all accounts. Is today just a blip, anyone know? (Edit - Just to be fair, the RFL site says the game has been postponed and the Rhinos Facebook page says the game has been 'called off.')

No, I had a look in case they'd dropped into the East League or London Merit League but couldn't find them on either table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
