Quite simple really, the half time draw was hard to sell due to crap prizes, suggesstions to change it fell on deaf ears for many a month, When it was decided to give the 50/50 draw a go I was asked to sponsor the cost of the tickets being printed. Which I agreed to pay for 5,000 yet the club ordered 10,000. Henry ,Kate and Sam where willing to sell them as they have done in the past with the half time draw, what happens? yesterday some bruiser from Radcliffe is there selling "half time draw" with a cash prize of 100pounds YES 100POUNDS not 20quid or match tickets like Henry, Kate and Sam had to offer, also a 50quid cut out slip in the programme which will not be used as it will ruin your program, Henry , Kate and Sam where reduced to selling programs.
So now you will understand why Henry is upset as all 3 where treat like mushrooms!!!
