Many congratulations Sir Bill, from everyone at #Fylde RFC!.
Honoured and humbled to have been knighted by Her Majesty The Queen at Buckingham Palace today. A very special day, shared with my family, that I will remember for the rest of my life. Proud to be serving rugby. Thank you for all the fantastic messages.

The ultimate rugby club supporter, Richard Paul, died on Sat. He followed #Fylde home & away for 40 years, irrespective of weather or form of 1st XV. Everyone at the Woodlands sends their sincere commiserations to widow Ruth, family and friends. RIP Ric.

Classy remark. Interesting to note that 'little Fylde' has had over the season larger crowds than 'big Leeds'. Some respect please.
@LeedsTykes Embarrassing back end of a season for the club. First we lose to Rotherham and now little Fylde. This has allowed Rotherham to come back into the promotion race.
