Fitzhugh Fella Posted 4 March, 2011 Share Posted 4 March, 2011 (edited) The Saints fan that won the Coca-Cola competition which then donated £250,000 towards the BWP transfer. Does anyone know her or know how she actually won the competition? Sorry have been told it was Chantelle Legg!

dan17 Posted 4 March, 2011 Share Posted 4 March, 2011 Think she won it on Soccer AM didn't she? Drawn out of a hat IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrant Posted 4 March, 2011 Share Posted 4 March, 2011 If I remember rightly, it was a text-to-enter competition, and the club with the most entries won the £250k. The individual winner was drawn at random from all the winning club's entries, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopkins Posted 4 March, 2011 Share Posted 4 March, 2011 Amazing how bitter some people can sound with hindsight isn't it. Pretty sure fans were raving about the signing when it happened. Signing didn't work out shocker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexstar Posted 4 March, 2011 Share Posted 4 March, 2011 Wasn't it you checked your code online and quite a few had sort of £2, £5, £50 for your club and then 1 code had £250k? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatch Posted 4 March, 2011 Share Posted 4 March, 2011 Did she get a percentage of the sell on fee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truesaint Posted 4 March, 2011 Share Posted 4 March, 2011 Checking your code from a coke bottle online was something separate to this. Think you had to text in, and it was then drawn out the hat on tv. I only remember as my small claim to fame was finishing third in the table of people entering their codes online for Saints raising something like £125 for the transfer kitty in addition to the £250,000 top prize. Mind you that means that i probably raised the money to sign Pulis! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunrise Posted 4 March, 2011 Share Posted 4 March, 2011 Moan moan ****ing moan, "Shame it wasn't put to better use". For christs sake, we didn't know it wasn't going to work out - not all signings do but that's life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alain Perrin Posted 4 March, 2011 Share Posted 4 March, 2011 Ironic that mobile phones led to BWP joining the club and contributed to his leaving the club.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ringwood Posted 4 March, 2011 Share Posted 4 March, 2011 Yes , I know her, she's living in Berlin currently, although her dad, brother and i think her gran still attend matches and sit in the Northam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 4 March, 2011 Author Share Posted 4 March, 2011 Thanks for that esp Ringwood's contribution. Quite a unique transfer nevertheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ringwood Posted 4 March, 2011 Share Posted 4 March, 2011 As me and my dad post on this account i will fill you in, Its Chantelle Legg. As part of her prize she got £10,000 along with free season tickets for a year along with getting to attend the press conference and meet the team and Rupert.........Oh and in typical echo style they made up an interview that they ''had done'' with her.........they never even spoke to her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Samuel Posted 4 March, 2011 Share Posted 4 March, 2011 BWP wasn't great for us, but I'll always be grateful to him after his 2 goals at Reading in 2008, one of my favourite away days. And his thieving antics in Pompey inspired a great chant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Joan Posted 5 March, 2011 Share Posted 5 March, 2011 If I remember rightly, it was a text-to-enter competition, and the club with the most entries won the £250k. The individual winner was drawn at random from all the winning club's entries, I think. This is right, but it wasn't a text-to-enter competition. It involved voting on a website which you could do repeatedly day after day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Diamond Posted 5 March, 2011 Share Posted 5 March, 2011 If I remember rightly, there was a lot of speculation it was going to be Mark Yeates who had a good spell on loan at Colchester from Spurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
