Flooded Nottingham Rugby Club launches appeal to – literally – stay afloat

Nottingham Rugby Club have launched a fundraising appeal after severe flooding left their Lady Bay stadium, pitch and clubhouse under water. The 147-year-old club is located on a floodplain just south of the River Trent which means the damage incurred is not covered by its insurance. As a result, they are asking for £50,000 in aid.

“We’re calling on the local rugby community to support us through these unprecedented times for the club,” read a statement shared on the crowdfunding platform JustGiving.
