I disagree I think they have got the maths spot on. Even the starting point of £500 is well worth winning and £2 a week is a reasonably manageable amount. Given that all the profits go to youth development I think the scheme seems fair to all concerned.

Jesus christ, always somet to moan at!

I agree, I think they have got the balance spot on.

Seems ok to me.

Many thanks Semitone

As i said i'm a member, the point is (if you think about it) how can you market a scheme that pays out so little to non-wakefiled trinity fans / fanatics - anyone with half a brain will see the return is very very low. So actually by setting up the scheme as we have we are limiting the potential of the scheme.

You lot call it moaning, i call it thinking practically about how this scheme can grow.

We should look at enhancing the prizes, such as gift vouchers for the shop, hospitality packages etc ASAP.

The whole point of the scheme is to raise funds for the club's youth policy, and at the same time keep the members interested by offering them some incentive for joining, most people are happy to contribute for the sake of the club and not to win a fortune, if it bothers you that much you could always have a flutter on the lotteries' as well, that way you get the best of both worlds.

I agree mate, its all take and very little in return, i don't mind supporting juniors signings and the like but i think they have got it wrong.

If they want it to grow they need to add to the prize list and then use the publicity of the winners to sell it on.

i paid £2 cos id run out of things to wee and moan about this will do me until the franchises are announced.

Thanks Big Al, at least you get the point - which is that i am happy to fund youth development at wakefield but that i can't really sell the scheme to mates etc So essentially this restricts the membership significantly.

Given the prize will only be won every two or three months or so i don't really see this scheme growing only shrinking.

And while i'm happy enough to support the cause and will do you won't sell it outside the club on whats being offered, its called the bigger picture and i would have thought AG would have seen that.

Anyway its gone extremely well and good luck to them on doing this but i do expect some changes in the near future otherwise it will not grow.

and it more it shrinks the least likey it will ever be to grow ..... why can peeps just not sit tight and wait to see if the club can build instead of giving up straight away ?

maybe after july yes your voice will be louder but if you want the club to grow you must be patient

94% chance that NO ONE will win on any particular week and then the roll over is capped?

The more I think about it, the less likely I am to bother contacting my bank to sort out the debit details that the club cocked up.

Some of you will probably say i'm just being negative here but putting my name down was an impulse thing at 'the biggest meeting in the club's history'. In the cold light of day it's not that appealing after all!

Not sure how big you think it would get anyway. There's a very competitive market out there for lotteries and gambling in general and I can't imagine that we are in any position to be taking that sort of market on. Schemes like this are designed for supporters so that they can put money into the club at an affordable rate while having the chance to win a bit back.
