Thought there was going to be Twice Yearly MEGA DRAWS . I know we have only been going for 6 months but there should have at least been one by now

I can't find the results of last weekend's 'non mega' draw
But that could be just me

Not good enough, I want my winnings now!

No doubt the Mega draw will take place the same week we get our e-mail with exclusive news, which we will be given a print out of at the event organised for 1873 members......

Seriously the club have put zero effort into this scheme.......i've not checked the results but if the haven't put a result up as per this link then that would be fairly typical of the way it has gone to date.

I am dissapointed . How hard is it to draw once per week and put the numbers up? OR tell us when the mega draw is?. I have to do a monthly scoring system for a football dream team league I dont get paid for it; yet people who are in charge of our website and who get paid for it; how hard is it to put results up. This is poor !

I probably agree that on balance, information regarding the 1873 scheme - from draws to what the money's been spent on - hasn't been especially forthcoming, which is a shame, as I guess it relies on the goodwill of the people involved.

We did raise this issue at the last ST meeting and James Elston stated that whilst news about the draws was problematic (some members don't access the web or even SMS for example) he would look into some kind of positioning report, to show where the scheme was, how much it had raised and what new systems the club had put in place in terms of youth development as a result.

Hopefully we'll see that statement some time soon.

It's very disappointing that the results from Sunday 8th jan are not yet available. I am quickly losing faith in this scheme with it's lack of transparency. I have asked about the mega draws previously and no one seems to know. I get the feeling the club is looking at the odds of this happening rather than guaranteeing it. I think that they have simply worked out that the chances are that no one will win the .jackpot each week until the rollover hits £3k then call it a mega draw. We need to know when these draws take place or confidence will be lost like the now defunct trinity line where no monies ever made it to the club and that scheme ran for years. Posting information and the results seems a must to be. If these changes aren't made then I think I'll be stopping my payments. I have just made the payment on 1st jan for the next 3mths so the clocks ticking so to speak.

I have to agree with most of whats been said here, the communication on this has to be better. As above my quartely payment has just come out so before march i'd like to see an improvement in conveying the draw results, some kind of progress report on how the scheme as a whole has/is benefiting the club and the mega draw to take place, probably the first home game of the season is the best timing for this. I'm sure this would satisfy the vast majority of members. If all remains quiet then i'm sure they'll be a good few direct debits being cancelled before long.

I think the club has to raise its game on this one, before it dies, and all the potential money to such an important part of the infrastructure of the club.
The big push to get people joined up and the big sell, has diminished and now zero effort looks to be put in, including letting the paying customers know the results, which is pretty fundamental to the whole thing.

Its the small things as well that make the difference. Things like if you want your membership card you have to go to the shop in person with all your info and pick it up from there. Sorry but in most schemes they would have been sent out with the initial letter, not having them ready is a poor excuse. Make people feel a part of something rather than just being a cash cow. Maybe the progress report could take the form of a quartley newsletter, either electronically or paper to keep updated. Or expand the scheme to one like widnes' where they get exclusive news via text prior to it hitting the press and added incentives in the shop etc. Either way the scheme needs to be made a whole lot more attractive if its going to be a longterm success.

Late, but there now!

Heap thanks trb,better late than never. Still no mega draw news tho. Anyone any ideas how many 1873 members we have now?

I think it all needs a re-think, odds are too far against anyone winning on a weekly basis for me to be interested.
