*CLUB STATEMENT*
Devastating news this morning. Overnight on 6 September there was a catastrophic fire in the pavilion. This photo appears to indicate it has been destroyed. We are coordinating with the police and fire service and will post any updates as we get them.
Hi
@benstokes38
- we would really appreciate it if you could retweet our plea for help after our pavilion was destroyed on Wednesday in a suspected arson attack. Any help massively appreciated!
We met last night at the ground, had a cry, a reminisce and a laugh. We are doubly determined to come back stronger. And THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR YOUR HELP AND SUPPORT! It’s been truly humbling!

Apologies to
@JamesBlunt
for our rendition… but your classic 1973 has become an anthem at The Wick. Here we are singing as we look ahead following last week’s devastation pavilion fire.
One week on from the fire that destroyed our pavilion - the true cost of getting sport back on at the Wick is coming to light.
We have been stunned by the amazing support we have received both locally and nationally and cannot thank you all enough. We are truly humbled. (1/3)
Tomorrow the Wick women will embark on their 18.63km walk from
