Idea for the club to generate money (5 Viewers)

[Otis]

Now, not that much thought gone into this (as per most of my posts), but just wondered if it were possible for the club to hold a raffle, with the prize being lifetime (or say 10 year) free season tickets?

So, say £5 a go, 10 prizes, 2 lifetime ST's each.

I would definitely take a punt. Even would at £10 a go.

You have to remember there are many City fans who simply don't go to games, but who I am sure would enter for the chance of lifetime season tickets. Reckon they could get a lot of interest.

Could even split it. Two raffles a season, 5 pairs and then 5 pairs, to generate more income.

If Sisu go it could be written into any contract for any new owner as a clause/caveat. 20 free tickets isn't going to kill any owner.

Another idea could be to charge supporters £1 per throw to hurl rotten tomatoes at Tim Fisher in the stocks.

The key to fundraising success with this idea is to make sure we don't run out of tomatoes....

first prize a season ticket, 2nd prize 2 season tickets

i'd definitely donate to a "buy a player" fund.

The problem is trusting our owners to a) not fix the draw, b) true to their word and actually not renegade on the offer - seat licences!

no need for the a) and b) bit, the first 6 words were fine

I think we should have a fund for the academy were we pay in to fund it but players used in the first team a rent is paid and any players sold goes back to the academy fund with a small cut going to the club not sure if that would be classed as third party ownership

 

[Suffolk sky blues]

All good until sisu sells the players & keeps the money there will never be any future success just go to the games and enjoy.

1st Prize 10 years, 2nd prize 20 years, 3rd prize 30 years... :emoji_rolling_eyes:

A bit like the seat purchase of a few years ago? Maybe look at the small print before a punt?

1st prize of a lifetime banning order would be a money spinner!

That's the spirt lads.

Could we raffle Tim Fisher for medical research?

That's not Tim Fisher, that looks like Peter Barlow out of Corrie during his alcocholic phase

I do like the sound of this. I’d happily pay a tenner per throw!

Alternatively, a wet, slippery fish to slap round those chubby chops of his would be far more appropriate to reflect his name and personality.

Well he did get of two pints of Rattler pretty swiftly then left

Wouldn’t get much for his brain as it’s not good at maths

Think keeping the tomatoes firmly enclosed in their tins would appeal to most CCFC fans....

We can think of all the ideas we want but to put it simply there isn't the staff base at the club to carry out these ideas. Ironically many fans would prepare and execute initiatives such as your raffle idea out of the love of the club...

I think they did start the lottery thing at games, I remember a few games they have had people wandering round with iPads selling tickets.

I am not sure how it worked, but I don't think it sold too many.

 

[Skyblueweeman]

Good idea Otis. I'd pay for a few tickets.

 

[wingy]

We did have the 50/50 draw until around 5yrs ago .

 

[Liquid Gold]

Yeah I'd stick in a few quid

Looking at the CT comments on ST prices yesterday, I think our lot would whinge at a tenner a season ticket nevermind for a raffle prize!!

If we want to raise money how about something like this?

Tifosy - Pre-register to invest in the Canaries Bond

I remember looking at the time of the jimmy hill legacy fund on there, a fair few clubs were doing it to get big scoreboards etc.

Sissu are saying it’s £300 a ticket, but everyone is guaranteed to win!

How many people would bother to remove them from the tin before throwing them?
