DID YOU KNOW? - No.7

Did you know that the Trust holds an extensive collection of Memorabilia, which includes programmes, shirts, press cuttings, photos, artefacts and the original watercolour of Rockingham Road by Ralph Hartley?

Items from the collection are displayed from time to time at Latimer Park, alongside our banners telling the history of the club - and also in the display case in the Newlands Centre, courtesy of Neil Griffin.

We continue to explore the possibility of a permanent display at Latimer Park.

DID YOU KNOW?- No.6

Did you know that during the fight to save Rockingham Road, the Trust made strenuous efforts to contact the Pickering Family directly to see if any way forward to keep the club at the ground was possible?

After an initial response from the family,all went sadly quiet.
