Halifax Panthers look to future as a ‘strong community’ and ‘financially sustainable’ club as fans warmly welcomed back to The Shay
The new-look Halifax Panthers has issued a sincere “thank you” to those that helped them gain RFL approval.
It was confirmed earlier today (Tuesday) that the RFL had granted membership to a new Halifax Panthers club who will take over participation in the 2026 Betfred Championship competition.
This means Fax will be able to welcome fans back to The Shay this coming Sunday (March 8, kick off 3pm) when they host top-of-the-table London Broncos.
In a statement issued to the Halifax Courier, the directors and investors of Halifax Panthers said:
“We would like to put on record our appreciation to all who have helped the club gain approval for RFL Membership. The RFL, Calderdale Council, our MP Kate Deardon and many others have provided invaluable support.
“We recognise the hard work and commitment our staff and players have demonstrated over the past months and years. We thank you for this and wish you nothing but success in the future.
“As we look to the future, your Board wishes to build a strong community club that is sustainable financially, living within its means and producing an entertaining and successful product on the pitch.
“As we start on the road back, we look forward to seeing you in numbers at The Shay on Sunday.”
