Droylsden game cash collection update

We had another excellent day at Gigg Lane on Saturday where 780 Pound for the Ground tickets were sold to supporters at the Droylsden game.

The winning ticket, 1247, netted the £200 prize which was claimed at half time by a supporter who very generously donated £50 into the barrels, with the remainder going towards her imminent wedding. As everyone should know by now, until the end of the season we will be drawing out a second, consolation, prize of a meal for two at the Rose n’ Bowl restaurant in Rossendale and on Saturday that was ticket number 1282 and won by FC volunteer Andy.

There was an exuberance of riches in this weeks barrel collection as follows:-

- £50 from the Pound for the Ground winner;
- £50 from exchanging the past few weeks’ foreign banknotes;
- Almost £80 from a bag of change collected by the Keelan family;
- A £50 note;
- A large bag of change left at the mega cabin;

If you add all that to the usual plethora of donated coins and notes we end up with a magnificent total of £503.

As always, many, many thanks for all your donations, large or small, and remember that if you have raised money for the Development Fund and want a mention then either tip it in a barrel with the details of how and when, or give it to one of the Pound for the Ground team with your details.
