2019/20 Season – 28 Match online 50/50 Ticket Option – Sponsored by Anytime Fitness (Hereford)
This is an opportunity for fans, who are not able to attend a home game, to join in the Matchday Draw, with the results announced at Half Time on Radio Hereford FC.
Over the last season 2018/19 we paid out £21,675 in prize money of which £2,430 was paid to online subscribers. The average prize money payed out per game was £797 (£411 first prize).
In April 2019, HUST was pleased to announce that the Club advised us, funds from the 50/50 draw will be used exclusively towards the playing budget in this coming 2019/20 season. HUST will, of course, continue to receive shares for the investment. We think this a real win-win situation offering supporters a chance to directly support the playing budget while, at the same time, contributing towards the Trust’s target of 50% share ownership.
The target is to get to £289,000 by 31st March 2020 and HUST own 50% of the HFC Share capital – only £99K to go…
