One of the oldest clubs in RL, I think there are about 4 older clubs I know Hull FC are one, who are the others?
In all seriousness, what about this?
"Halifax players threatened strike action over unpaid wages in April 1990. The club sold Neil James for £20,000 to pay wages but were still in financial trouble including an unpaid tax bill of £70,000. Halifax went into the hands of receivers, £760,000 in debt, a take-over bid having failed after the players refused to take a pay cut. The club was re-formed and the assets were purchased by the Marsland/Gartland consortium of local businessmen."If the club was reformed in 1990 doesn't that only make it 23 years old? In the same way that FCHT are 5 years old.
