JohnM Posted June 24, 2022 Posted June 24, 2022 Here because of RL context. Harry collapsed and died today. Just been announced on Look North. The "Dark Ages" is a term referring to life at the RFL under the new regime. It's characterized by a decline in openness, professionalism, transparency and achievements, Â

Bearman Posted June 24, 2022 Posted June 24, 2022 I never met Harry but I am sure I would have liked him. RIP Ron Banks Midlands Hurricanes and Barrow
dkw Posted June 24, 2022 Posted June 24, 2022 Ah man, that's sad news, he was a big part of RL broadcasting when I grew up. RIP.

Just Browny Posted June 24, 2022 Posted June 24, 2022 Very sad news, RIP. Always came across as a warm bloke and passionate about RL. I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.
OMEGA Posted June 24, 2022 Posted June 24, 2022 So sad to hear this news Harry Gration has been a mainstay on local TV throughout most of my life. I met him once in 1990 when he was covering the Wakefield v Australia match at Belle Vue, he was an approachable, likeable bloke< the only person I ever knew to fall out with him was Bobby Fulton, ironically on the same night RIP Harry and sincere condolences to his family and friends
sentoffagain2 Posted June 24, 2022 Posted June 24, 2022 Â Â He loved his Rugby League comes as a shock to me quite a few passed this year all younger than me.R I PÂ
wasginger Posted June 24, 2022 Posted June 24, 2022 RIP Harry always presented RL as a passionate fan.
RP London Posted June 24, 2022 Posted June 24, 2022 Met him at a business awards ceremony in Sheffield a couple of years ago and had a bit of a chat about RL. You could tell he was a proper fan and had a couple of great stories. RIP Harry.. condolences to his friends and familyÂ
Futtocks Posted June 24, 2022 Posted June 24, 2022 How much was he loved by his colleagues? This much. Â Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted. Ralph Waldo Emerson
meast Posted June 24, 2022 Posted June 24, 2022 Very sad indeed. Voice and face of my youth. RIP Harry, enjoy your Rugby League in heaven Huddersfield Giants Supporters Association
gingerjon Posted June 24, 2022 Posted June 24, 2022 Just heard the news as I was driving home. Desperately sad. RIP. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life. (Terry Pratchett)
Just Browny Posted June 24, 2022 Posted June 24, 2022 Not gonna lie, welled up a bit at the end of the Sky coverage then. Very nice little tribute.

clogdance Posted June 24, 2022 Posted June 24, 2022 Seemed like a really nice bloke and was also very good at what he did. Rest In Peace Harry x
