There isn't a minimum amount set for sponsorship.
Last year they set different prizes for different levels of sponsorship.
Not sure if they are doing it this year.
Some of the runners raised enough to get a free sit down meal and West stand
Seat at the Wakefield game last year.
Jane Tomlinson’s Husband and daughter attended the game.
They sat at our table and thanked all the runners for taking part.

I was making a serious , yet tongue in cheek , point about the $ to refurb when it is built. Does Hudge have any room at the bank or backers , as you are getting further away from your 10k break even ? I am not joking , is there a countless amount of credit ? Will you have to get the fans to paint the inside , just like clearing the snow ?
Will the Stand come too late ? Will the Egyptian buy you and do a merger ? and we all move to the new CP ? Have AP and AA sewn us all up like kippers in a way that D Lloyd and Wilby didn't manage ?

Legitimate q's

Yes to all.

Of course they are






I'm still waiting for you to admit you were talking codswallop previously.
Some folks told you this at the time and all you did was hurl abuse.

Certainly isnt going to be like the mock up pictures that where produced if we still have a giant poundstretcher in front of it.

Yes it will.
Look at the mock ups again.
The stand takes up about 1/2 of all the land cleared the rest is car parking and landscaping.

So have we bought the poundstretcher and knocking it down then?

No.
There is no need there is plenty of room to get those views in with poundstreacher still there.
That was why I said only 1/2 the build is stand.

Whats the bit on the side next to the Millward stand? Exec boxes? doubt if the sight lines would me amazing without blocking the view from the Millward.

Would have been an idea to "angle" some seats from the Millward to the north end, i.e. the nearer the north end of the block of seats the nearer the touchline

These photos prove this point rather well.
You would be able to see the wholes stand and the landscaping in exactly the same way as in the artistis impressions and poundstretcher is nowhere to be seen due to the angle.

Lets remind ourselves of your recent position on the ground developments currently underway:



Bless.

It's a big plot when you see it all cleared.
So like Anakin Skywalker said. It should look
like the artist impressions.

They've knocked the dog kennels down.

Ruddy well forgot to get me greyhound out first.

Balls.

I think they were possibly chasing them out of town.

He's got a big fat bum.

Is it "The Drighlington Dynamo?"

What's the big red step-chimney for?

New floodlight towers

Are they courtesy of an Architect on acid?

Doubtful.

Never seen owt like them before. Artists impressions are sometimes a bit off. You'd assume a simple pylon these days, like at Salfords ground. looks good if they are completely different, althought you'd hope the red paint wont fade in 5 years of the wind off dock!

i thought the big red tower was on the North west corner, am i wrong and its actually North East corner?

I also thought i read somewere that said it would have a clear view from Preston road (hence me saying no netto/ugo/poundstretcher or whatever it is this week) although i may of just dreamt this.


Anyone know if we are giving our West stand a lick of paint when the building work is done? keep going over Marfleet bridge and just looks sad.

Maybe it's more than a pylon, It might have an internal staircase and a viewing area at the top which we can pay for the privilege of accessing, like Castleford with the digger.

This thread shows that artists impressions can be a little off
