who has donated city memorobilia to the club.
I did when at HR, it is somewhere in the Ricoh,hope Jim brown and Lionel Bird have kept them all safe.
Edna Davies gave over 2,000 photographs that her late hubby had taken while at the Cov evenong Telegraph,these went back to before the war.
Over 100 years of history has been kept there for a proposed museum.

Probably sold for their own means, I had a cheque from the 'old' trust for £100 for an unbelievable amount of stuff. I let them have it cheap as it was to help the club, but never seen a thing about it since. Assumed ir would have been an auctiin but probably just added to their personal collections.

Well I did write to them to find out what happened and never received a response. They collected it all from my house - at least £500 worth but as I was moving thought it was time to release and do a favour too. Can't see why below the belt tbh.

Well the trust went dormant pretty much on SISu's Takeover ,these are new folk involved .My bet is it went towards that large donation made to the club for the Academy.JMO.

What will happen to the memorial garden and the remains of folk interred there?
Someone needs to consider these issues as many will be upset, potentially, if it is mishandled.

When you look into all these little things it starts to really make you think.
