Gold Bond Weekly Draw

[K.S.H]

Whats going on?
There used to be prizes of
1 x £2000
1 x £500
2 x £200
7 x £100
7 x £50
(Plus the £5000 and other smaller prizes)
Now they have a new format which only shows
1 x £2000
1 x £500
2 x £200
1 x £100
1 x £50
1 x £25

What happened to the other 6 x £100 and 6 x £50 prizes?
Surely they should have notified us about this if we pay by direct debit, not even a mention on the fishy site

The list has though if you want to check the numbers
Still says Top Prizes of: £10,000, 5,000, £2,000, £500, 2x £200, 7x £100, 7x £50, 35x£25 and 100's of consolation prizes ranging from £5 - £20 Every Week! on the page but why aren't they showing the numbers??

Edit - £900 worth been removed from the list

I think I will hang on to the new sales that I have towards my new shirt , in case people change their minds then .

Prizes have now been changed on the fishy site, thanks for letting us know
Anyone who buys their tickets from the paper shop, pub etc every week will probably see the change as you fill out a form every week, surely the club SHOULD have let people who pay by direct debit know about this, what would you have to say if you got 3, 4 0r 5 numbers on the lottery and you took your ticket in to claim your prize and they told you that they no longer pay out.

Anyway there are now only-
Top Prizes of: £25,000, £10,000, £5,000, £2,000, £500, 2x £200, 1x £100, 1x £50, 1x£25 and over 250 consolation prizes ranging from £5 - £20 every week!
It used to be £10,000, £5,000, £2,000, £500, 2x £200, 7x £100, 7x £50, 35x£25
They have removed
6 x £100 = £600
6 x £50 = £300
34 x £25 = £850
Total £1750 of prize money being held back every week - £91000 a year
They now have a £25,000 prize annually
Nice £66000 gained - no wonder you kept it quiet

The winner is Senior instead of Skinner but the number is the same and the agents draw is David Parsons instead of the Alma Inn. I have pursuaded people to join this draw and now it seems to have gone to pot.

Think its about time someone from the club responded to this post to get things cleared up a bit, not looking good is it
Just sent an email pointing to this thread asking for an explanation - see if I get a reply

[***Mr D***]

I do this draw every week and have done for a few years.

Didnt know about the prize change till reading this.

[maccawozzagod]

as Chairman of the Supoprters Club I would be loathe to attack the club and would also look to defend it where possible, in fairness (as defence) i think that current problems are possibly something to do with the fact taht are looking for somebody to run it full time and also that Mick (who does everything else as well) is currently on holiday.

As attack I would agree wholeheartedly that things like this should be clarified as a matter of urgency by somebody in the know. I understand that that the club do not want to respond to every bit of rumour, opinion or conjecture, but this is not any of those, it is fact and has to be clarified.

[K.S.H]

Email sent to club about a fortnight ago and still no responce, lets see if LC can answer it

[K.S.H]

Well its over 12 month later and still waiting for the reply

Anyway, reason for this post is that I have just been looking on the fishy site and it seems the prizes have changed again,

Annual Jackpot Prize: £10,000
Weekly Prizes: £2,000, £500, £200, 2x £100, 4x £50, 6x£25, 170x £10 and 130x £5

Yet according to the info on the Stanley legends it says
"One set of seven numbers in the Accrington Stanley Gold Bond Draw (with a weekly top prize of £2,000, a monthly £5,000 prize, two draws a year for £10,000 and finally an annual £25,000 draw)"
