We are pleased to say that our September raffle is now underway following a hugely successful first month!
Our first winners of August have already been contacted for their prize of an exclusive matchday experience in the directors’ lounge for our next home match!
We would like to say a massive congratulations to Doug Meikle and Andrew Hay, who have won the experience!
Speaking on the first successful month, co-chair Julie-Anne Uggla said, “This first month of our Minstermen raffle has been a huge success. With over 100 supporters buying into our raffle for August, it has helped us raise over £1000, which will immediately be put into improving our training grounds’ changing rooms, which are in desperate need of modernisation. What this first month has shown us is just how close-knit this fanbase is to the club. I cannot thank you all enough. I’d also like to congratulate Doug and Andrew on winning the August prize. Matthew and I will look forward to hosting you for our next match against Tamworth!”
Every month from August 2025 until April 2026, supporters will be able to buy a raffle ticket for just £10 to be entered in a chance to win a ‘money can’t buy experience’ or exclusive memorabilia.
All the money raised will be put into much-needed upgrades to the training ground to allow us as a club to keep striving to achieve our ultimate goals and to be able to provide a much better training environment for our first-team players and our academy.
Once all the improvements have been made, we will display a permanent banner on the site, recognising the phenomenal sacrifice and support that you, the supporters, have made to help fund our training facility for the players and staff.
Speaking on the raffle launch last month, co-chair Julie-Anne Uggla said, “I’m very pleased to be able to launch this season-long raffle draw to be able to hand valuable once-in-a-lifetime experiences and prizes to our supporters.. Your support last season shows the ever-growing ambition of this football club; we simply would not be in the position we are in without you. However, alongside this, we recognise that unfortunately, our training ground is not improving with age, and we are now at the stage where much-needed renovation works will need to take place. Upgrading our training ground to suit the needs of our players and staff is now at the forefront of our minds as we enter this new campaign. Significant investment is needed to be able to get our training ground up to date with the modern day, and with this comes our 25/26 raffle draw, where you, the fans, will be able to play a vital part in our future. We hope these opportunities will provide those lucky few with unforgettable memories as we build towards the future of this fantastic football club. On top of this, we would also like to invite local sponsors and businesses to get involved with this big project and together help etch our club’s future.”
