Gimme Shelton Posted July 27, 2017 Posted July 27, 2017 Just had a phone call from someone saying did I want to sign up to a Bristol City lottery,seemed a bit suspicious because I haven't heard anything about it before? Anyone else been called?
Red DNA Posted July 27, 2017 Posted July 27, 2017 Back in the day i.e. a long time ago, BCFC used to run a sort of lottery - probably more of a draw really if I recall correctly. Our family were one of the 'agents' who used to go around and collect the shilling for each draw number held by the punters. This draw was organised by Clarrie Bourton (?) who was a real City stalwart. The most amazing thing was sometimes not just Clarrie came to collect the money from the agent but ALSO THE PLAYERS!! We had the likes of Dickie Rooks, Mike Gibson, Gordon Parr and others whose names I've forgotten call to our house in Knowle West to do the community thing. All on a very different level these days but glad to see the club still do try to keep involved in the community. If players turned at at your home these days there'd be chaos with everyone wanting selfies etc! Happy days......tell the kids today, they won't believe you!

BCFCGav Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 I've had that call twice this summer - including this morning. I asked for conformation of the Baker deal but she was very coy.

Nongazeuse Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 I got called twice - it is the same as the City Foundation. You would have thought that they would have known that I already subscribe (and won £400 two years ago).
