jamescolin Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Good idea and I'd gladly give a fiver! He'd only go and buy a better lawn mower or something though Some years ago Robert got all the signatures of the team then playing on a rugby ball. To give an example the following signed: Matt Calland, Stephen Malloy, Martin Pearson, Ikram Butt, Brendan Tuuta, Brett Daunt, Carl Gibson etc. The ball is not inflated and the signatures though readable are slowly beginning to fade. I am 76 so what happens to the ball? I think it should benefit Rob. I now need your ideas. Shall we raffle it at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamescolin Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 ]Nobody has been in touch so I reckon that was not a good idea. Please let me have any contributions for Rob at 22 Beech View, Ferrybridge, WF11 8AF. All contributions acknowledged. I shall be doing my usual Golden Gamble at Halifax game if that is more appropriate. With regard to the ball I am going to auction it on this site. I will leave it for a fortnight in sort of an E.Bay situation. I have decided that a reserved price of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamescolin Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Thinking about it, make that the 8th September, then the winner can collect at the Halfax game. Col. Got a mention in P&C today as well. At last somebody is acknowledging his efforts. Also good publicity for Rovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldrover Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 can i also give a mention to Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton in the office. with all these new initiatives and our recent success, their workload must have increased a heck of a lot. i've seen the number of office staff at a couple of s/l clubs and i just have to say, these two are doing sterling work.

jamescolin Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 will you have a bucket with you, with Robs name on, then people will know who to donate to. perhaps Vic and some of the others would like to do the same. Love to OT but I think that needs permission from the powers that be. There may be other collections on with which it would clash. I will be there and most people will know about it. I will menton it when selling tickets. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was embarrassed about a collection as he says he is only doing his job. I would like to commemorate this season and therefore if a collection is not on then could somebody organise a caricature of Rob for me and I will pay for it. Any money received will be a contrbution to said caricature. It is typical of Rob that he is modest about his year and I respect his wishes. The signed ball is still for auction if anybody wants it. No sweat if nobody does. Cheers Col. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maureen T-k Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 To say how many games have been played on the pitch, plus the F-factor concert, i think the pitch looks brilliant and puts many super-league pitches to shame,Rob should be immensley proud of his efforts and contribution to Featherstone Rovers. Im Fev and im proud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian (Pencil) Elliott Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Just like to add my congratulations to Rob on how well the pitch looks. When you have a moment Rob can you call at our house, my lawn is full of weeds and is very patchy. "You cant be scared of death. When that time comes, it comes....I've been blessed.

When you have a moment Rob can you call at our house, my lawn is full of weeds and is very patchy. I once said the same thing to him and he offered to come and have a look at it and get it sorted. Thats the kind of bloke Rob is, always happy to help others in any way he can Top bloke The weak conform, the strong survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
