During the period of time between Thursday evening 2nd June and early hours of Friday morning,some mindless individual/s took it upon themselves to set fire to the Haworth Park Sports facility and in doing so caused the needless destruction of the club house,kit and equipment.For what reason one can only imagine. Childrens teams are operated from this club and apart from the upset and turmoil it has caused them,it has set the club back years financially in what is a hard time for all financially.

I have started this thread for two reasons,firstly in the hope that the perpetrator is caught and brought to justice and secondly that the business community of Hull could see their way to offering us assistance either in the form of tradesmen to help rebuild or financial support in order for us to replace playing kit,balls,bottles,bags & shields etc.

If any of you are genuinely interested in helping the club get back on its feet, I have all the contact numbers needed.

Thanks for your time.

You got a donation site set up Garroway?

How do you go about setting them up mate?

Pretty sure you can get a donate now but from Paypal, also you may be able to use JustGiving as well.

Nice one, i'll look into it

Place was on its harris anyway. I wonder if was insured?

What's that got to do with anything?? So if you lived in a house that was a bit run down, it would be ok to burn it to the ground?

All i was stating was that it was once a poplular place but not anymore and it had seen better days.

Apologies, I read it that it didn't matter that it had been burnt down because it was not maintained as well as it once was.

sad news, i often go to haworth because my son plays there quite regular, i was last there a couple of weeks ago, hope it can be rebuilt.

Who cares if it was a palace or a dump, it's caused money and damage to a amatuer Hull club.

And????

You want us to pay for it???

Not what I said at all, is it?

I merely said it doesnt matter if it was a tip or not. It's still caused a local club money, with I think is tragic even if it isn't my club.

Feel free to stay off the thread if you have no interest in trying to help.

Heworth park is a facility used by loads of different clubs throughout the year and hosts festivals for kids as well as Finals days.

The Amateur Rugby Community in Hull are already pulling together and thanks to people who have given up their time already the roof is almost repaired as well as many other offers of kindness such as the brother offering to fit free carpets and decorators willing to lend a hand.

Sometimes it is better just to keep quiet dont you think?

The fact the insurance does not cover arson means that it is going to have to be a massive effort from the RL family to get the place back up and running.

Not much but if you start a donation thing i will chuck in a tenner. I have no affiliation to Haworth but my lad has played there a few times.

I will donate &50 please let me know how to do this.

The roof is on its way, which was kindly done by 1 of the young kids dad, plus a sparky has offered some help too...

Its just the little things which will be hard to replace, kids kits have gone, all the post pads, tackle bags, shields, cones, water bottles all burnt to cinders. Gutted.

Im on paypal trying to find out how people can donate cash and im clueless, any help peeps?

More than happy to donate the money that I would have paid for the game today + fuel from Hudds... At least it is going to a good cause...

Need a joiner, Garroway?

Need all the help we can get mate

Will pm you after I've spoken to him.

cheers mate

Charitable sort then??

A lot of people have financial difficulties themselves, why should he have to be charitable for this cause?

I agree, it could have been better phrased, but I kinda agree with him.

Besides, I have other reasons not to assist a club like Haworth.
