THE clubhouse of the Huddersfield Rugby League Supporters' Club is to close, it has been confirmed.

There was no rescue plan offered at the Supporters' Club annual meeting last night in the Spaines Road Fartown, club.

Now the clubhouse, built in 1965, will be stripped of the memorabilia and closed.

The memorabilia will be put in storage until a new home is found.

Club president Connie Branch, 82, called it a "sad day for sport in Huddersfield".

"We have supported everybody from eight-year-olds to seniors," she said.

"We are planning a final party on September 25 and then at the end of the month we will leave."
