00:00We're down at St. Jude's Rugby Club today to offer our support to the mindless act of vandalism and destroying the pitches once again.
00:07This has a special place in my heart because Joe has been grafting for decades to build this club into a fantastic community asset.
00:14Which is why it makes me furious when thugs come by mindlessly in five minutes in quad bikes, do donuts on it and trash the pitch.
00:23It costs the club a fortune to maintain and it is not on.
00:27That is why we're going to make sure we get a fence built around the club.
00:31Working with your local councillors and the council we're going to make sure that the fence stops any bikes and quad bikes getting in but we need your help.
00:39This week the club will be launching a crowdfunder page to make up the shortfall that we need to install this much needed fence in.
00:45There'll be a GoFundMe page shared on my page and all over local community groups so that we can get the funding St. Jude's needs to protect itself in the future.
