Master Knowledge,
I think the only thing laughable is your comments.
What are you agreeing with? Who is asking for £100,000? What do you know about any money spent on players at Hull Ionians? I think it's time you changed your name.
The Crowdfunding appeal is to cover some of the income lost during the enforced Covid-19 closure. This lost income would have been used to run a community rugby club which has daily running costs to meet, despite having no income. This is nothing to do with paying players.
Other clubs such as Otley and Tynedale have been similarly proactive and successful with Crowdfunding appeals. Are they also guilty of seeking "handouts"?
What a poor opinion you have of Yorkshire RU supporters. The money we have raised has come from Club members, friends and supporters and, well done to all involved.
I believe that if Halifax Vandals, Ossett or Wibsey made it know that they were struggling, the respective club members, supporters and the "rugby folk of Yorkshire" would be big hearted enough to help them.
