Poppy shirts
I'm expecting record sales for these matchworn shirts this year with stuffing Blackburn in them.
5k each shirt?

Re: Poppy shirts
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

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

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

Re: Poppy shirts
I assume from the above they're being auctioned?
Re: Poppy shirts
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 lotterywilks_bfc wrote: ↑Mon Nov 14, 2022 6:29 pmI’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.

Re: Poppy shirts
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 .Quickenthetempo wrote: ↑Mon Nov 14, 2022 8:13 pmSuggest it to the club.

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.

Re: Poppy shirts
There's more than one shirt per player. Tella gave his away so i wouldn't bid on that.
Re: Poppy shirts
Didn't this happen last year? I have a Bobby Thomas shirt in my drawer that I'm sure I got through a raffle.wilks_bfc wrote: ↑Mon Nov 14, 2022 6:29 pmI’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.

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

Re: Poppy shirts
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

Re: Poppy shirts
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.wilks_bfc wrote: ↑Mon Nov 14, 2022 6:29 pmI’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.

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

Free hair cuts, car washes etc..
Players will take what they can from the club to use.
Re: Poppy shirts
Ah yes, just had a look and it was for the Alzheimer's Society. That raffle raised £4,310.
