Do we have an image?

no but in these politically correct times we have a right to have an image,whether we can actually have one or not, (see life of brian for details)

there wasn't many runner for the position was there





many thanks Sir Rodney

yup theres more of this to come, especially with clubs who players were not paid for just playing but for their image, like the right to use their names on shirts etc etc, anyway were out of it now so we can watch and relax.

But anyway, image rights or no image right, 160K is a bloody big rabbit for any private individual not directly involved in RL to pull out of the hat for a cause like this. It's given the Newmarket project and the club itself massive momentum. When we're finally stood/sat in the new ground watching our team play, we owe this fella a lot of thanks.

agreed, shut a lot of people up too!
srw

Agreed.
The guy is Philanthropist ([ia brief definition for amber and foulmouth-[/isomeone who gives for benefit of the wider community) if there ever has been one.
A true son of the Merrie city.

Again thank you Uncle Roders!

Is Sir Rodney from Wakefield ?

I'm sure Sir Rodney will have his reasons for doing this, but I doubt it will be anything to do with Philanthropy.

Yes.

Well done Sir Rodney, I'm so glad your on our side!

His numerous other donations to various schemes and assosiations based in the district says otherwise.
You could say "he's our Jack Fulton"

Now now young man, no need to bracket us with the uneducated louts you spend your matchdays with.

Still wouldnt trust him though, there will be an ulterior motive for the betterment of mr Walker

In what respect would you not trust him? On a personal level? Have you had business dealings with him? Or based on the fact he's just given Trinity £160,000 and it's put your nose out of joint?

I'd go with the last one!

I don't know about anyone else but I feel this post lost credibility with the first two words.

The use of the word 'Rat' is interesting in the fact it sounds very similar to a word which IMHO describes you perfectly.

This helping hand for Trinity maybe more to do with Soccer than Rugby

What is "soccer"? In my country we have a game called "football", is that to what you are referring?

I would be surprised if you were being used as a "test" case as they have been doing this successfully to football clubs for the last few years. Arsenal were hit with a massive bill. It was one of Gordon Browns policies when he was chancellor.

Apparently some of the clubs saw it coming and did not make these offshore payments or exemptions but most did and will probably be the next to fall under the investigation of HMRC. I understand 2 big clubs should be very very worried about this and look to be facing a potentially massive bill. One of these clubs has a backer who will no doubt foot the bill with ease but the other may very well struggle.

Thank you Sir Rodney. Hopefully we are onward and upward from now on.

No "Soccer" is correct.

I am not quite sure why you don't just say what you mean mate?

Sir Rodney is Chairman of Goals Soccer Centres [urlhttp://www.goalsfootball.co.uk/[/url and allmatt thinks that Sir Rodney might want to build one at Newmarket.

I am not quite sure why it matters, if he does good luck to him, of course getting planning for one under a reserved matters application would be easy, given that sports facilities are permitted development in green-belt anyway!

No its football, your opinion counts for zero on here.

Never mind.

Also, why would giving Wakey money have any bearing on what else goes on at Newmarket? We will be nothing but tenants of a Community Stadium. He could hold a circus on the pitch every other day and we would have no say. So why would he need to sweeten us?

So if WTWC's had folded on Wednesday that would have had no bearing on Newmarket? (The whole development - not just the stadium)
