In my case I was told I couldn't get it on the day and to come back on Monday. As I live in Auld Reekie that was hardly an attractive option. They took a note of my bank details and it was paid in a few days later. As others have said, I can't understand why the prize can't be given out at the end of the match. It is, after all, CASH. There is a PR advantage to meeting a club representative and being given cash. If the club were organised enough, one of the players could present it and a photo of the winner receiving it could be put up on the website. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call out the winning number, get the punter on the pitch, cash, photo. Job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fawlty Towers Posted November 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 All the points brought up on here will be raised with the club but for the moment we will still be continuing as we are. The most important thing is that we continue to generate as much as we can for youth development at our club so please remember to get your tickets at tomorrow's game. A reminder for those in the John Lambie Stand that if the turnstiles open at 2pm or just after Marc might not be in position so pop back down around twenty past to get your tickets. Thanks for your support! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy McD Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 My son was lucky enough to win £..350...down at Dumfries last year...Straight after the game round to the office the cash was sitting waiting in a brown envelope no probs. He even got a mention in the programme the following week... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a f kincaid Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 My only (late) thought on this is that the club may be sensitive to giving anyone a bag of coins to carry home. How much does (say) £450 in coins weigh?? Do they have the facility to keep the cash but write a cheque on the day? I'm sure they tried having the winner come down on to pitch before. Didn't we have one match where the "winner" went down and discovered he didn't have the winning ticket after all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, your general point is a good one. Highlighting the person who will be leaving the ground with a wad of cash is probably not a great idea.

Fawlty Towers Posted November 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 The first prize today was a very healthy £460 - thanks to everyone who bought a ticket. The winning numbers were: 1st - 73619 2nd - 73247 No home games until December so save your pound coins and see you then. Thanks for your support!

Fawlty Towers Posted November 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 Thistle Weir Academy @ThistleWeir 22h22 hours ago Mo Full time in England: Sunderland 1 Thistle 2 Good to see our U18s not only being invited but winning against their counterparts from Sunderland. This is what the money raised through the 50/50 draw helps with and the more we can raise the better it is for all concerned. We don't have a home game until the 8th of December and I know December is a busy and expensive month for many so if you can't make one/any of the 3 games that month and still want to part of the draw please PM me and we can get something arranged. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fawlty Towers Posted December 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 After quite gap we will be back to Firhill on Saturday and tickets for the 50/50 draw will be on sale around the stadium. We realise that December is a busy and expensive month so your support is really appreciated. If the weather is as cold as it has been recently we will need to keep our fingers moving so try and keep us busy please. Thanks, once again, for your continued support!

Fawlty Towers Posted December 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 A few points before today's game: 1. If the weather turns nasty I will be at the same end of the JH Stand but inside (straight ahead as you come through the turnstiles). 2. Marc might be there after the turnstiles open so if you are in the JL Stand go back down around 20 past if you missed him. 3. We really appreciate your support but know today could be an expensive match as Calendars will be on sale (£8 each) and I have just found out that there is also a Beatson's collection as well so we understand if you might normally get a ticket but can't today. C'mon The Jags! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fawlty Towers Posted December 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 As expected with all the various factors today's first prize was slightly less than previous weeks but £378 is still nice before Christmas (and you can then use that to buy things online through easyfundraising (https://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/) - I know I am shameless). The winning numbers were: 1st - 77265 2nd - 74242 Thanks for your support and see you next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fawlty Towers Posted December 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 Tickets will be on sale at the game against Alloa on Saturday and we would be grateful if you could continue your excellent support as that will mean we can get the maximum amount raised for youth development.

Fawlty Towers Posted December 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 Just a reminder that if the weather is poor tomorrow I will be inside the JH Stand (straight ahead when you come through the first set of turnstiles at the North End). Marc might be in position after the turnstiles open in the JL Stand so if you go in straight away go back down a bit later. Donna is at the South End of the JH Stand as normal but may have some Christmas treats! The snowman at the top of South Drive will be Ian. Thanks, in advance, for your support!

Fawlty Towers Posted December 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 Looks like being a cold one today so remember to wrap up and it helps keep us sellers warm if we have to move our fingers handling money and tickets.

Fawlty Towers Posted December 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 Just want to say a big thanks to everyone who bought a ticket today on what was one of the worst weather days I have experienced at a game in a long time. Also a big thanks to our sellers for getting to Firhill and doing their stuff. The winning numbers were: 1st (£346) - 77594 2nd (Signed Ball) - 74424 Have a great Christmas and see you on the 29th (no chocolate money please).

Hi FT, I was lucky to be in hospitality today. Do you include the hospitality figures? It was a fairly healthy £180 for the winner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick question - how was hospitality as I have not been in a position to go now for a few seasons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the sentiments and, of course, a very merry Christmas to all Thistle fans (okay slightly merrier for those who buy 50/50 tickets). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
