Huddersfield's George Hotel: Rugby league museum plans 'axed'
A council has come Under Fire after making " a shameful decision" to axe plans for a National Rugby League Museum in The Game 's birthplace.
Campaigners had expected Huddersfield's George Hotel - where the breakaway competition was established in 1895 - to become the home of a New Museum .
But Kirklees Council said The Venue would not be " financially viable" without an ongoing cost to residents.
The Council has proposed accommodating The Museum elsewhere in The Town .
Peter Mcbride , cabinet member for regeneration at The Authority , said: " With the impact of the pandemic on the hospitality industry, we have had to give careful consideration of our investments on behalf of local taxpayers.
" But Huddersfield is The Birthplace of Rugby League and the sport is an essential part of our heritage. That's why we're offering to give a home to The Museum as part of in The Heart of The Town , " he added.
It Comes after Huddersfield fought off bids from Bradford, Leeds and Wigan in 2020 to win The Right to host The Museum .
Supporters argued The George Hotel had been central to The Town 's winning bid.
According to, Andrew Cooper , the leader of The Green group on The Council , said: " This Was a competitive process which Kirklees won against other towns on the basis of The Museum being based in The George Hotel .
" Kirklees [Council] has acted in poor faith by reneging on this agreement and now risks losing the Rugby League museum from The Town where the sport was created, " he added.
The Hotel , close to The Town 's Railway Station , closed in 2013, and was bought by The Council .
It is currently undergoing renovations.
