Jaggernaut Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 See the trouble you and your 50/50 tickets have caused today? Throw the ticket away and you've a 50/50 chance of being allowed to see the rest of the game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fawlty Towers Posted March 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 There will be sellers in the usual places on Saturday but, as mentioned in another thread, there is an unusual twist with after the cash prize winner two other winners being selected and they will contest a penalty shoot out. The winner will then compete in a penalty shoot out at half time in the Falkirk game against the winners of the shoot outs at the Livingston & Raith matches for a free season ticket for next season. Your support for the 50/50 draw this season has been great and if we can keep that up for the final 4 home games then we will have raised an excellent sum for youth development which is such an important area for our club. Thanks for you support and see you on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Are there often unclaimed second place prizes? Or is it just that someone didn't want to kick the ball in front of a crowd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Are there often unclaimed second place prizes? Or is it just that someone didn't want to kick the ball in front of a crowd? Given that there's a fifteen minute queue to get or in some cases not get the pie of your choice, folk in the loo or chatting to their mates in the concourse it's highly likely you could miss the draw. Also I'm not too sure everyone would be that keen to take part. The important thing is the response in terms of sale of 50/50s. Just as some won't wish to take part there'll be many champing at the bit to have a go. If this is to become a regular or on going event maybe some sort of stand by draw could be made, more money to the Club, rather than Lance picking someone at random?

scotty Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 rather than Lance picking someone at random? Never thought about that. Why didn't he just draw another ticket? Did the guy from the crowd even buy a 50-50 ticket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Willjag Posted April 1, 2012 Members Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Lance wasn't in a great position with time constraints and whatnot, but someone wearing Thistle colours would have been good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 A half-baked idea: Whenever the Jags win, the feelgood factor might well mean that punters would be willing to throw away gamble another quid or so for the cause. Not sure how to arrange it, but another sale of tickets on the way out, with the draw to be announced on the OS later, might well bring in another couple of hundred quid following every victory. I also remember a pay-for-each-goal scam scheme (I think at Raith Rovers) where guys pledged a quid for every goal the team scored. I'd even go for that if every month, 2 months, or even at the end of the season there was some kind of prize draw involved. In general, it's always better to give people a chance of winning something half-decent than to ask them simply to donate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general, it's always better to give people a chance of winning something half-decent than to ask them simply to donate. Not sure about the logistics of selling after games but the PAYE (Pay As You Enjoy) scheme that Raith Rovers have used is one that I did suggest to the club under a previous regime. Basically people pledge to pay a minimum of £1 per league goal scored (they can pay more if they wish or pay for an individaul player scoring, eg £5 for every Rowson goal) and the amount raised over the season goes to the transfer budget for next season. If 50 people took part and 50 goals were scored over the season then you are looking at £2,500 being raised and the people who take part can be entered in a draw for some prize at the end of the season.

Fawlty Towers Posted April 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 A late call off meant we were a seller down but with your support we still managed to generate a prize of £320 - thanks to everyone who had purchased a ticket.

Fawlty Towers Posted April 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Still a chance to get yourself in to the shoot out at the Falkirk match and win a free season ticket: http://www.ptfc.co.uk/news/2011-2012/april_2012/50-50_draw_shoot_out_finale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fawlty Towers Posted April 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Saturday is the final chance you have this season of winning a good cash prize in the 50/50 halftime draw and with it being the last home game of the season (as well as Archie's 400th appearance) we are hoping to make it a large prize. If you don't normally purchase a ticket then please consider doing so as that 50p investment could give you a big enough return to buy your season ticket with cash remaining! The support we have received this season has really been excellent and we are looking for one final push on Saturday. Remember as well that you can still get yourself involved in the penalty shootout at haltime on Saturday: http://www.ptfc.co.uk/news/2011-2012/april_2012/50-50_draw_shoot_out_finale Thanks again for your support!

Fawlty Towers Posted April 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 Thanks to your superb efforts today we got our highest cash prize of the season - £455. Thank you on behalf of all the sellers to everyone who has purchased tickets over the course of the season as your support is really appreciated. By my reckoning we have generated £7,712 for youth development at the club this season and that is a great effort. Congratulations to the gentleman who won the penalty shoot out and a free season ticket. We will be going away over the summer and thinking about things that we could do to further increase how much we generate for the club so if you have any ideas please feel free to contact me. Thanks again for your support! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennythistle Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 Ian said to me today that he was going to ask about selling 50/50 tics at the fun day. Think it is a superb idea and one you guys should approach the club and chic and davie about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fearchar Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) Congratulations to the gentleman who won the penalty shoot out and a free season ticket. Not at all! I think that at least one work colleague came to the game because I was in the final, while another congratulated me on Facebook. Ryan Scully must hate me now! After all, I've put 4 past him in about 20 minutes - although the Dundee mob couldn't put 1 past him in 90. By the way, a colleague did suggest that being half-German would win it for me. Maybe there is something in that..... Edited April 28, 2012 by Fearchar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rid Skwerr Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 Whoop-Dee-Do....Lady Skwerr had today's winning ticket! We went round to the main office after the game (as, I think, Lance, said to do) and there was no-one home, so we were left standing around, pressing the unanswered doorbell. Will be down at their door first thing Monday Morning to scoop up the hard-won gains. That's my season ticket sorted. (if I'm nice to her ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
