Leeds Rhinos - southstander.com • 2021 members update
Assuming the lack of discussion on this means I'm not the only one not to get the email

Leeds Rhinos Chief Executive Gary Hetherington has emailed all our members with an update following the latest Government information regarding the roadmap to unlocking England from Coronavirus restrictions.
As we now know, 2020 was a difficult year and despite the euphoria of winning the Rugby League Challenge Cup, the Club suffered a significant loss which resulted in having to borrow £1.25m from the government, which now needs to be repaid.
We hoped to have a COVID free start to 2021, but alas, that has proved not to be the case and we will need to extend our borrowings further to ensure all our liabilities are met. Our loss would have been much more without the sacrifices of our players and staff and the terrific support from our fans, key partners, sponsors and corporate members and the extra support provided by the Caddick Group. We will recover, but it will take time.
With this in mind, I can report for the first time that our approach will be a bold one, and rather than contracting into a survival mode, we aim to invest and expand into growth and success in 2022. The quality of our first team squad is paramount if we are to challenge for silverware and we will continue to invest in our player Scholarship and Academy programmes as well as the facilities at Kirkstall. Further investment will be made in our Women’s Super League operation, and our match day experience at Headingley will be the best it can be. We will also reward our loyal fans with the very best packages and benefits.
Something special is already happening at the Rhinos. We now have a World Class Stadium and facilities, an outstanding crop of young players and a burning desire to recover and become the number one club both on and off the field. This is a firm commitment from the Club, and we are relying on another Team effort from all our stakeholders.
You can play a key role by encouraging friends and family to support the Rhinos, ideally as Members and together we can look forward to an exciting finish to this Super League season and a successful 2022.
You can now select your options as a 2021 Season Member and if we have a valid email address for you, you will shortly receive an email with all the necessary information you need to know and a link to the online options form. If we do not hold a valid email address, we will be issuing a letter in the next 2-3 days which will be sent to the lead purchaser of your season memberships only. The lead purchaser of your Season Memberships needs to complete the options form for the group by midnight on Friday 30th July.
Leeds Rhinos Ticket Office phone line (0371 423 1315) will continue to be open Monday-Friday from 10.30am-3.30pm however the ticket office itself will remain closed for the time being. Tickets and Memberships are available to purchase 24 hours a day, 7 days a week online at tickets.therhinos.co.uk. There are limited staff available to respond to fans over the phone, so please where possible, complete your forms online.
If you have any specific questions regarding the options that you cannot find via tickets.therhinos.co.uk, please direct them to tickets@leedsrugby.com.
Thanks again for your support and I look forward to seeing you at Emerald Headingley next Friday when we take on the Salford Red Devils. It promises to be an emotional “Coming Home” for all of us.
