stevegrant Posted 16 July, 2009 Share Posted 16 July, 2009 By popular demand, here is how the SaintsWeb Forum Members player sponsorship will work. Firstly, thanks to Guided Missile for the initial idea, and also to thesaint sfc for doing some of the groundwork, getting prices etc. Contributions are welcomed from all forum members - anything between £5 and £50 per person. The reason we have imposed these boundaries are a) to keep banking costs down (anything below a fiver starts getting expensive), and b) so plenty of forum members get the opportunity to contribute and to stand a decent chance in the draw. The club are currently going through their sponsorship renewal period, so until that has been completed, we won't know for certain which players will be available to sponsor. As a result, the decision on who to sponsor will be deferred until that list is available. When that list is available, a poll will be taken among all those who contribute - each individual gets one vote - to determine which player (or players if we raise enough money) to sponsor. Contributors do so on the basis that they agree to be bound by the outcome of that vote. Towards the end of the season, the draw will be made for at least THREE prizes: Two tickets to the end of season Player Awards Dinner The player's signed match shirt Visit for two people to watch a training session exclusively for player sponsors, and to meet the player afterwards There may be additional mystery prizes Each contributor will be entered into the draw on a one-pound, one-entry basis, i.e. for every £1 contributed towards the fund, that contributor gets one draw entry, up to a maximum of 50 entries. Therefore, the more you contribute, the more chance you have of winning one of the prizes. A contributor can only win one prize. The prizes will be drawn in the order shown in the list above - if someone is drawn to win one of the prizes, they cannot then win one of the others as well. If we raise more than the amount required for one player but not enough for two players, the remainder of the money will either go to charity or towards additional prizes for the draw. Payment Details: The payment window for contributing to this is now closed. Please do not send any more money. I will update this thread on a daily (or so) basis with a list of users who have contributed (I won't put individual amounts) and the total amount raised.

stevegrant Posted 16 July, 2009 Author Share Posted 16 July, 2009 who are we pimping out? If that means "who are we sponsoring?", that'll be decided when we get the list of who's available after the club have gone through their renewal process. what if we make more that £700? The target amounts are £575 and £805 - these include VAT. If we make more than that, we can look at sponsoring more than one player, or donations to charity, or extra prizes, or a combination of those options. If i put in £50, does that mean i can have more tickets than cheapo trousers in the end of season draw? Yes, you get one ticket per £1. However, you can only win one prize. Clearly if you put £50 in and trousers puts £10 in, you've got 5 times more chance of winning something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
