By George - why Leeds dropped bid to stage new national rugby league museum
Leeds was keen to host the new national rugby league museum, but withdrew when the George Hotel in Huddersfield emerged as a rival contender.
The sport’s birthplace was confirmed this week as the venue for the attraction, in a partnership between Kirklees Council and Rugby League Cares.
Leeds City Council and Leeds Rhinos Foundation’s heritage committee have welcomed the decision, despite initial hopes of the museum being located in their city.
