Just trying to raise a positive, but pretty sure the 50/50 was the highest of the season.
The card machine worked the best it has all season as well.
I don't think MK Dons fans got the (cashless) memo though, as I took over £60 in cash that I had to re-pay on my card.
With the fixtures against the bigger teams coming up, co-inciding with hopefully better weather which tends to help, possibly the upward trend of £600 plus prizes will continue.

Still way less than pre covid. I notice support group fundraising being massively reduced was not highlighted on the recent board minutes.
Yeah in the scheme of things, it is small fry, but losing 40 odd percent of the 50/50 and Blue Diamond, YP, Presidents Club and Helpline monies cant help.
I degress, another positive was the yellow ribbon campaign. Well done to all concerned. I chatted to a few MK Dons fans in the pub in the game and many of them had the ribbons on their so fair play to them.

I'm not sure that the club received monies from the YP, I think it was put back into running events and subsidising away trips. I think the CT has taken on the role of running events, and their funding is separate from the club. The Blue Diamond Club still meets, so not sure what the club have lost there. The closure of Helpline was explained quite clearly. Presidents Club - I have no idea, apart from how many members they have is a closely guarded secret.

Gave up waiting to buy 50/50’s at the kiosk by the Mem gates. That was at 1400, about tenth in the queue and it did not move for ten minutes. Card machine was not connecting to system.

Just bumping this as more people look at the forum on a Saturday.
With a bigger attendance due v Ipswich, don't forget to bring your debit cards and see if we can have an ever bigger prize on Tuesday.
As it is Valentine's why not treat your loved one to a 50/50 ticket - who knows it could win and you can spend the winnings on a romantic trip to Venice, Rome, Paris or maybe Fleetwood or Port Vale?

I’ll tell you something else that is ‘way less than Pre-Covid’ - the money in people’s bank accounts!
