Mr. Glover had a choice to buy the club, did he buy it purely for philanthropic reasons? Mr. Glover also has much deeper pockets than many on here do I suspect too! His choice to buy the club, and the same choice of supporters to either back Club 1873 or not.

As far as I know, the club has a 'lottery manager' to oversee and administer Club 1873. I don't know if that's a FT position nor do I know anything about the postholder, but it does seem that there are a number of perceived improvements that could be made to the way the scheme is run - hopefully, those people who have concerns are passing them on, so that individual can at least be made aware of them?

Do you realise where the club was when Mr Glover took over. "on the bloody brink" And you have the ordacity to say it was his choice lathergically you people have short memories . Hes done a very good job. The guy is going to improve belle vue for just 3 years out of his own pocket. People come on here and say we dont have a chance of winning lotto at £2 per week 4 out of 31 numbers thats all its pure luck. There is no hidden agenda or some kind of con going on. What do you want him to do in 12month we have kept our licence thanks to him and others organising steadying the ship what more do you want him to do lol in 9month since he took us over????

Till the bucket comes out of retirement

Hi Scabby.

Same old tired line about the 'bucket' I see.

Yawn.

I derive simple and childish pleasure from the 'nonsense' poetry of people such as Edward Lear and the incomparable Spike Milligan.

The same cannot be said of this demented tripe.

Don't forget if you state anything derogatory to ngb4c you are 'picking on him'
Yet he can throw insults around in abundance.

What a complete clueless tool he is!

For Trinity fans the 1873 is a win/win.
£2 a week is less than the price of a pint. There is chance of winning a couple of grand and if not donate to the club.
More chance of winning the 1873 than the national lottery, but granted the prize is smaller, although for 4 numbers on the national lottery you'd only get 60 or 80 quid.

here's my take on how the 1873 can be improved...

at the moment we have (who is in the draw) all chosen 4 numbers that is in effect like the national lottery, this has rolled on from the start building to a whopping £2500 nothing to be sniffed at as a small local club prize... that alone is now making heads turn

As and when the season ticket / Gold membership starts to increase greatly it could then generate its own number which can be used on a weekly basis drawing a prize of say £500 and doubling to £1000 if your at the game home or away (say traveling with the Wakefield Trinity Supporters Trust Bus) through out the season, this could boost attendances just for the thought of doubling
it would be around 30 plus weeks and also to finish the season off have a final £5000 as incentive if you have been paying all year.

to do this it would have the support of the fans to reach the 2500k gold membership and this would then generate £5000 weekly so other prizes could be added.
even hospitality, gifts from the club shop

what it needs is a massive boost from the Wakefield public that cares about the Club

Just a thought of how I think it could take the raw edge off what some think as a collection bucket fund

What about a members draw once a week or fortnight. Say for a new season shirt or a shop voucher?? Perhaps a monthly draw for a meal like the one offered at the launch night my mate won. He said it was great. How about one member gets to award the mom at the next home game. There's quite a lot of same cheap things us fans would love.

I'd win because i'd be guaranteed something for my cash, plus i'd still know i'd be helping out the club.
