Witton and Rushhall Pound for the Ground and barrels report

A very creditable 660 Pound for the Ground tickets were sold at the midweek Witton game and the winning number drawn out of the box was 0034. The £200 was claimed just after half time in the lounge and this left £460 into the Development Fund. The barrels when counted up came to £137.

There were a very respectable 885 tickets sold at the Rushall Olympic match last Saturday. The winning ticket was 0811 and it was claimed by FCUM volunteer Paul Farrell (Faz). Breaking off from his duties as part of the match-day security team, Paul promptly gave £100 back to the DF and it was added to the day’s barrel collection.

The barrels were emptied at full time and there was £110 in change and notes plus the £100 from the PFTG winner, making a very pleasant total of £210. In addition there was a superabundance of foreign money from Bulgaria, Switzerland, Turkey and Norway amongst others. 30 euros were also counted.

Thanks to all who once again have given generously at both games.

Incidentally, we have the following in stock ready to swap for British money, so if you are soon jetting off to one of these countries then please get in touch and we can meet up at any game home or away. Please note that it is 90% change, otherwise we could exchange it at our local post office. All proceeds of course go to the Development Fund.
