Since the conference season, I have been organising an unofficial 50/50 draw in the clubhouse bar after games.
The monies raised goes towards the sponsorship of young professionals and since that time we have raised a few thousand pounds sponsoring Jamie Lucas, Kieran Preston, Luke Russe, Jay Malpass, Mo Bagdadi, Tyler Little, Andre Jnr, Connor Jones, Alfie Kilgour, Lewis Ellington, Lucas Tomlinson, Zain Walker Kieran Phillips and Luca Hoole.
Any profits were spent on providing end of season entertainment with the excellent Mr Bloggs being a regular feature with his Hendrix style teeth playing of star spangled banner and the bar full of Gasheads joining in with the "Howl" chorus of Werewolves of London.
All of the sponsored young players have at least made it to the bench, with the exception of Lewis Ellington and combined, I guess have made well over 150 appearances and counting.
It is usually just for a group of 30 or so regular drinkers in the clubhouse bar, hence the sponsors name "The Clubhouse Bar Regulars" The prize is usually around £15 so you won't be able to give up work, but it helps donate some money towards the club.
There used to be a different price tier between experienced first team players and first year pros, but as there is no development squad, there is only one fixed price for all the squad. Initially, we are looking to sponsor Jerry Lawrence's away kit but we have to cover a minimum deposit up front, unlike previous seasons when we continued to pay in installments throughout the season.
We are therefore looking for new members, so if anyone who misses paying cash for a 50/50 ticket and would like to contribute to help our young players, just see me in the bar later and stop me and buy one. I will invariably carrying a SC shop bag with a money belt.
Sorry to go against the grain, but it is cash only! - although we did electronic payments during the covid years to keep vital monies coming into the club.
