SIR – On behalf of Ilkley Rugby Club, I would like to express my thanks to the Ilkley Community and our local sporting community for their support this season, and more specifically over the last two months.
Our attendances have more than trebled as word has spread of our success, and I am proud that they have been able to witness a highly-skilled and entertaining brand of rugby over all three of our teams.
We have had to lay on coaches for spectators for our crucial last few away games, and this support cannot be underestimated. The players hear and feel their presence and this is worth game points in itself.
We are competing in North 1 East next season and would welcome the same tranche of support to witness an even higher calibre of rugby at Stacks Field.
The club is expanding and developing with a new fitness and rehabilitation unit due to commence this summer.
We would welcome all new members to join our rugby community whether as supporters or players and guarantee top-drawer rugby and a great social scene.
Our last home match drew a crowd of 650-plus and it is to support like this that the club extends its grateful thanks.
Tom Gillon, chairman, Ilkley Rugby Club
