The Rugby Football League’s new head has backed a call for Prime Minister Andy Burnham to approve a £30m funding plan for community rugby league.
The proposal is intended to provide financial support for the sport at community level. The RFL has endorsed the appeal, signalling its support for investment in the grassroots game.
The request places responsibility for approving the £30m plan with Burnham. No further details of the proposed funding programme, including how the money would be allocated or when a decision might be made, have been provided.
The latest position is that the RFL supports the funding plea and is seeking approval for the community rugby league investment.
