50/50 draw raises over 25,000

The 50/50 draw has smashed their record this season, with an incredible £27,490 being raised on matchdays at SJP!

The Supporters' Club finally reached their long term goal of achieving the target of £25,000 raised for the club.

Last year they set a new record of £24,927 and that has been smashed this season thanks to your incredible support.

The matchday half-time 50/50 Draw at St James Park sees half the money going directly to the club, and half been given away to draw winners in prize money. The team of sellers from the Supporters' Club tour the stadium before the games kick off, selling draw tickets to supporters for 50p each.

The draw then takes place on the pitch at half-time, with one lucky ticket-holder claiming the jackpot of half the winnings, with the other half being donated to the club. A number of our winners this season have shown exceptional levels of generosity too, by donating a portion of their takings to the club by giving to the youth academy or other causes.

The club would like to say a huge thank you to the sellers for their hard work in raising funds for the club and for helping to create a bumper jackpot for one winner at every match, and thanks to all that take part in the 50/50 Draw!
