Ricardo Taylor Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 As we are well aware our quest for Super League status took another giant leap when visible work started on the reclaimed stand project. Much hidden preparation work had already been achieved that was virtually unseen except to the expert eye.There is a brilliant set of fans that are giving up their time, experience and expertise under the guidance and leadership of Paul Coventry. This is only just the start of what can be decribed as a marathon process. As with all project work unforseen costs are encounted that eat away at the monies allocated and budgeted for. There are many fans of Featherstone who have talents and are unable to assist in a practical way due to work and a miriad of other very valid reasons. I am in the process of creating a Ways and Means committee purely for the Ground Improvements. I have pencilled a date for Tuesday 29th January to hold a meeting for interested people. The venue will be the Bradley Arms North Featherstone @ 8.00pm. If you are interested in helping, please attend or sent me a PM expressing interest.. I am not on Face book or twitter so could some kind fans please post as from reading the forum threads many have defected to other social media methods. Regards and thanks for reading this thread.

Ricardo Taylor Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 A brief meeting was held last night at the White House to discuss a way forward to help with monies for ground improvements. Several short term positive ideas were discussed as well as some longer term aims and objectives to raise monies. when these plans are finalised i will keep you all fully informed. We plan to hold another meeting, possibly in February, when hopefully those who could not attend, so we can get really organised. Stuart could you PM me with your e mail address. I tried to send you a mail this morning and it did not recognise the address given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricardo Taylor Posted February 4, 2013 Author Share Posted February 4, 2013 The first fund raising venture will be rolled out shortly around various venues in Featherstone and Pontefract. I have 28 large sweet jars. containing pasta. The idea is to guess how many pieces are in. Each jar contains a differing amount and is sealed For just a £1 you could win a Featherstone Rovers shirt. I shall be using one myself at various events at the club and also local charity events If you would like to take the responsibility for a jar please let be know. (thinking of a little further afield than Featherstone and Pontefract. Regards Ricardo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricardo Taylor Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 Thanks for your comments. The idea behind raising some monies to help with unforseen costs that eat away at any finances allocated for any major project work. Hence the group set up.

gazza77 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Is any if the Probiz investment going towards the stadium development? Genuine question with no ulterior motive. As I understand, the Probiz money is in the main going on infrastructure investment, i.e. the ground and youth development.
