Hi All

I know I don't post much on here, but I run a group on facebook called "wakefield trinity wildcats northstanders" after a discussion and a vote we have decided to sponsor Matty Wildie for the 2014 season

In order to do this I need to raise £1680 ,

This is how it will be done

Over the next few weeks I will be selling numbers 1-84 at a cost of £20 each. It will be on a first come first served basis with the first person taking numbers 1,2 and so on , so far on facebook 55 have been sold

Once all £1680 has been raised we will conduct a prize draw which will be done at Wakefield Trinity Wildcats

The Prizes on offer

• 3 x Pairs of Match Day Legends Suite Hospitality Tickets (including 4 course meal)
• 3 x Pairs Invitation to Sponsors Breakfast event in January were you will be introduced and sit with your player
• 3 x Pairs Invitation to a special sponsors shirt presentation evening when you will present your player with his new playing shirt for the new season
• Player appearances at your company throughout the season (subject to availability)
• Signed photo with your chosen player
• 5 Pairs of Match Day tickets to a chosen game
• Signed Ball
• 5 Pairs of tickets to Hospitality Box for a home game selected by Club

As well as this Northstanders / Northstand name announced every time the player takes the field
Northstanders / Northstand announced every time the player scores a point
Northstanders / Northstand name/logo in matchday programme next to player profile

Might not be everyones cup of tea, and I will answer any comments / questions.

you can contact me on here, Twitter ( @ryanpwilliamson ) or search my fb for the group

A lot of people suggest things but as a fan I took a stand and put words into action

Thanks for reading, Ryan

I will have a piece of that.

Two proviso's...we remain Northstanders', i.e. it doesn't revert to being an away terrace (that would make no sense), and we are keeping Wildie (which I assume we are).

Yes and Yes

Thanks Dboy, either contact me on here or other social media

ill add you down with this user for now.

I'm in.

It'll have be through here, don't do twitter.

And good luck.

If we are keeping Matty Wildie thats the most positive thing on here all week.

Cheers El Rey, wasnt too sure if I was breaking rules

Martin Hopkins has helped me a lot and customised the prizes especially for this "project"

I will be at the next meeting also so welcome to come and say Hi

Count me in for one


Can you keep us informed on numbers ?

What I have done is compiled an excel once the money goes in the numbers are given out

How do you "buy"? And is it "sponsored by Northstanders" or the winning number holders name, etc? Maybe I'm being thick, but is it a draw for sponsorship, or a way of raising money to create sponsorship by the "Northstanders"?

Great idea though.

Has Wildie signed for 2014? I must have missed the announcement as I thought he was out of contract

Red White and Blue Army

The player will be sponsored by the Northstand / Northstanders

so you are buying into helping support this and with a chance of winning one of prizes offered

Thanks for explaining. And a great idea.

Great idea, put me down for a number please.

Thanks for the support so far guys Like I said if you do want a number best thing is to just message me on social media or here, or email me ryanpwilliamson1@gmail.com

I'm in but not sure how you are going to get my money off me?

Well done! Cracking idea

loads of ways...

Bank transfer / post a cheque

Or in person, I will be at Cats bar for England V Fiji and also I will be attending the supporters meeting

Stick me down for one and well done for getting on with it.

email sent & well done on this initiative.

lots of fans had / have lots of ideas and many volunteered to help the club but in reality I think the club are down to the minimum staff and are all working hard sorting the mess ...the more things that fans can do themselves the better .

Thanks Feline,

The support from the fans has been amazing, especially on here didn't expect such a positive reaction.

Think its a combination of fans wanting to do their bit to help who may not be able to sponsor a player in their own right, of fans wanting to sponsor one of our own who has shown great loyalty and patience and deserves his chance and of course wanting to be part of one of the great incentives Martin Hopkins has offered.

Yeah I agree, that was the idea behind it I wouldnt be able to afford to pay that money on my own so as a collective it is a lot easier.

I know everyone doesnt stand in the northstand but its still a great cause to help the club and the chance to win a prize.

There is a few fun things going on with my group of people. You might see something very big if you look up first game of the season behind the sticks in the northstand



we were offered 6 players initally for the set price. And it was a two horse race with Matty a clear winner.

Im in for one. PM on its way.

So does this confirm he is staying?? Apologies if this is mentioned somewhere on the thread?

Pretty much Fritzys Mullet,
