    And the ones that can't don't have teeth to whiten :D


    Slightly off topic, but does anyone remember in the early 2000s when the club ran a raffle to win an old Jag? Think it was around the time we were in admin. I vaguely remember it being parked between the Ponte and West Stand, on that raised bit. Or did I dream it?

    Don’t agree with this it penalises anyone who doesn’t use Instagram

    I definitely remember a raffle to win a car and it being parked on the raised bit between pointy and west but I thought it was a brand new car from one of the sponsors. It was 20 years ago though and I can't remember who we played in the last home game

    I think there was 2. One was a Jag which was donated by a fan, and then a few weeks later, a brand new Kia Rio, donated by the Kia garage just off Ponte Road.

    Can't remember a raffle ever taking place tbh. But centenary annual prize was a car. And I do remember one or even a couple being displayed in the ground. Hazeldene or Burrows i think. Over many yrs. But that used to be taken place in June. Now £6k
    Gerries mrs won one.

    The Kia was donated to the club to raise money for our administration fund.

    No. Bit of a controversy. The lottery managers wife in the early days.
    The cost and prize money has never increased since day one. So that's why I think it goes straight into the acadamy nowadays.
    The profit that is.

    Another piece of useless information
    £1k then would be the equivalent of £3.71k today. So was a very good amount then. To create the same amount of value today would mean a lottery number would cost £7.50. Hence at the time, 4 of us shared and still do. Won it twice.
    Bro in law started a number with his mate and won once. He carried on when his mate dropped out. Won it again. Twice. Still in it.
    £1k still a nice win though. Especially if doing it on your own. Other prizes done at quarterly intervals. £6k yearly.
