Great idea by Pools....with a great package!!!! clappp

But one big stumbling block for loads of Pools supporters....it's an auction and the bidding starts at £75!!!! banghead

So that's a huge amount of Poolies going to miss out!!!! sadx

Why couldn't they have done it as a raffle....I'm sure they could have made more money out of it and then it woud have been fair for everyone!!!! sadx

Jonny Rowell has already stumped up the £75.

Thats brilliant.
I'm willing to stump up the £75 as long as I can keep all the strips and the match ball :razz:

Its a cracking idea though.
The last time I played 5 a side it was 2 bob and a session at seaton baths after :laugh:

I've also stated that it's a brilliant idea and a brilliant package....but with just the one flaw....it's an auction!!!! banghead

So basically it's gonna be people with plenty of spare money who are gonna be playing on the Victoria Ground!!!! banghead

Here's an idea....make one Team the Auction team....and the other the Raffle Rabble....

Toffs v Scruffs!!!! :coool:

I was just about to mention point number 3, excellent idea though .. clappp

Jonny · **Posted:** Thu Mar 18, 2010 12:13 am

So is it the top 22 bids that play or a bid for an individual shirt? Is there going to be something on the site to show what the bids are

A long way to go, I think one or two people will be checking their piggy banks and running round the block a couple of times...

You get to play on the Vic, a full kit, a meal, HUFC gift and a full cardiac care package. A bargain unless the bidding goes mad.

Mr Ripper · **Posted:** Thu Mar 18, 2010 9:40 am

I might have a go of that, I can think of worse places to die of a heart attack.

over chargin fans again? Not like pools. Maybe i.m too competitive and want to win every game of football match i play but why would you just wanna play a match with 10 other people on your team who may well be awful, it would ruin the experience if your team was shit. For 2.50 every thursday i.ll give any off here the chance to play football at the headland gym, kick me up in the air, try and score past billingham poolie and finally try and get the ball off trapper. Much better deal and a bargain too

BillinghamPoolie · **Posted:** Thu Mar 18, 2010 11:42 am

Will the game end up like these ones sponsored by BP

MutleyRules · **Posted:** Thu Mar 18, 2010 11:54 am

It must be just me then that thinks it would have been fairer making it a Raffle instead of an Auction!!!! confised

Obviously it would be but this way is probably a lot easier and better financially than a raffle so I can see why the club did it like this.

Compo · **Posted:** Thu Mar 18, 2010 12:21 pm

can people go and watch the match as it might be a laugh

They'll probablys charge £10 a ticket.

Yubep · **Joined:** Wed Jan 31, 2007 6:35 pm **Posts:** 25266

what if no one wants to go in goal? I certainly wouldn wanna pay all that money to stand and do fuck all for 2 hours. I can just picture a playground style free for all. Everyone chasing the ball and wanting to score

MutleyRules · **Posted:** Thu Mar 18, 2010 2:13 pm

Probably play 'Russians'!!!! :grin:

Doug the head · **Posted:** Thu Mar 18, 2010 4:16 pm

I'd take a shit on the pitch and say to Turner now you know how it feels to be a fan.

I can't see how it's easier than running a raffle....get people selling tickets....put them in a large hat and then draw 22 tickets out!!!!

And I suppose we'll see if it's better financially when the auction finishes and we get a run-down of ALL Bids!!!! :coool:
