Poppy shirts

Post by Quickenthetempo » Mon Nov 14, 2022 6:24 pm

I'm expecting record sales for these matchworn shirts this year with stuffing Blackburn in them.

5k each shirt?

I’ve said this before, and I knows this is done for a worthy cause but is disappointing that it’s a “closed shop” for those that can enter in winner these.

I’m sure that if they did it as a raffle at say £10 a ticket more people would enter and they would raise just as much as the bids with the winners choosing which shirts they want in order of tickets drawn

Suggest it to the club.

Probably only take 1000 tickets sold at a tenner to match the usual money raised.

Top idea. Otherwise it’s just a “who has the most money” competition.

I assume from the above they're being auctioned?

It is a fantastic idea, doesn’t need to be all the shirts… but I’d buy a few tickets if it was Ashley’s shirt in a lottery

I have Dean Marneys Number 8 shirt from the 2016 Crystal Palace game in our Office/Computer room (well OK its the box room 🤣)



I reckon you are spot on having a Raffle rather than "the highest bid" wins auction ... far more money would be raised 👍

It’s probably too late now but I have suggested it previously .
Maybe somebody on the supporters group could raise it

2020 raised £6000 which at say 25 shirts is around £250 each which is out of most fans price range especially in the current climate.

There's more than one shirt per player. Tella gave his away so i wouldn't bid on that.

Didn't this happen last year? I have a Bobby Thomas shirt in my drawer that I'm sure I got through a raffle.

Blackburn are doing the same. So far, the whole auction has the potential to raise £1.73p.

Didn’t think so. It’s always been an auction as far as I can recall

The only ones I can think what we’re done as a raffle were the shirts they wore for Alzheimer’s in the cup game against Rochdale last year

Had a bit of a sour taste left when I entered the eBay raffle for some match shirts they did a while back …… never found out who won them and later found out a lad I know got given one of the shirts by a player signed after he did some work at the players house.

They were supposed to be a collectors item and unique but still players had them to give away at home after the raffle.

Players have always give tickets and shirts/memorabilia etc out in exchange for work doing.
Free hair cuts, car washes etc..

Players will take what they can from the club to use.

Ah yes, just had a look and it was for the Alzheimer's Society. That raffle raised £4,310.
