He's got the lot. The letter thanking him for the contribution, a letter from big Dian apologizing for not believing he was a LM the last time they tried to take it off him and all the ST's from the last god knows how many years with LM written in them.

In that case I would have thought that if it had been shown to the club within the deadline they published they will have decided what they can reasonably do. If he's not taken it in before the date the club asked for it then that isn't the club's fault.

Think in the case of Barry Hough he could show them the dressing rooms and point to the big picture of Wally Lewis in the Ridings shop!

Was that part of the deal for life membership? If so we'd have only needed about 20 life members to build us a new stadium and a top quality team.

Still got my share certificate. Think I will frame it and put it on the wall.

life should mean life.As for being a new club why newmarket then thats where the old club wanted to build

Life doesn't even mean life in most murder cases!

I paid double what Sandal Cat paid (and more) and got 10 years worth and was more than happy with that.

I have more truck for those who were given LM as a mark of thanks for their efforts rather than those who paid for them. However I do wonder given the split on here whether it would have been prudent to leave be for the sake of what we're talking about. Not my shout though!

But it did mean life in my case - the life of Wakefield Trinity RLFC Ltd. I got a Season Ticket until the Club died. If it had not gone bust I still would have my LM - I know which I prefer.

I like many others invested a great deal more in shares than LM and they have gone which everyone seems to accept.

As TRB says if you got LM by paying an amount of cash whatever it was you probably have had your moneys worth and as you paid it to WTRLFCLtd then Spirit of 1873 Ltd has no obligations whatsoever.

I lost my LM and I certainly have no gripe with Spirit of 1873 Ltd whatsover.

Not mine either, but if it were, for the sake of a few quid, I'd have probably got the old codgers in question to come to the first home friendly and handed them free Gold memberships for the 2012 season on the pitch at half time. Get the WE down and try to do a bit of a feature about the history of WTW, what it means to the old lads, the good times they witnessed etc etc - add a bit of weight to the NM situation. The ideal person to hand their tickets over would of course be Mr Fox, with perhaps a couple of other players from different eras.

Old people make me laugh

All of them, or just certain ones?

Most of them, not the mean old buggers who wouldn't throw your ball back if it went in their garden.

how about one that snatched a cricket bat of my mate and hit him on his back all because he was patting his cabbages aside while looking for the corkie ball in his allotment


he never saw the funny side of it and neither did my mate but it still makes my sides split thinking about it

Barry Hough has done hell of a lot for the club over the years, bad way to treat someone who has given so much to the game over the years.

The thing about old buggers is that we'll all be one one day, its just that it will be sooner for some of us than others

Thats the way the club should have gone about it imo, for the sake of a few quid its very negative.

It should have been shouted from the rooftops.

Not too late to rescue the situation!

Someone should have a word
"cough"
Supporters Trust
"cough"

Plenty of ST posters have made comment on this thread, so if they feel they should raise the subject then good luck to them.

They kicked me off so its not my problem

you kept on eating all the biscuits

Sandal Cat, the old codger

Having read all the comments I can see both sides of the fence here. Maybe as a gesture of good will a compromise might be offered by the new business which is now Wakefield Trinity? Perhaps a half price pensioners season ticket for life and retain the title life member? Or something along those lines. I appreciate its a different company now but to offer nothing for that commitment to Trinity in dire times in the 80's, seems an unneccessary PR own goal for just a handful of people. If you read this current club, I would offer them something along those lines as I think most Trinity fans will feel a little uncomfy about this.

Blimey thats harsh. I think 'Spirit of 1873' kind of points to tradition and all the incarnations of the club. Trinity now should be supporting those who saved Trinity whenever since 1873 and I think Mr Hough is owed an apology and his ticket if this is the case.

Question raised and if / when we recieve a reply we will let you know.

If we knew we were moving to Newmarket, then that might have been a good time to start a fresh and possibly a new scheme.
