How many members were aware of this draw, though? It certainly wasn't communicated very well, if at all.

Not done through me John, I just received the various names that I then drew randomly.

I can see why they are not letting people in when the filming is going on but they are going to put a lot of people off going in to the Crossbar. They have had enough time To sort somthing Else out like they did at Taunton. Why not put up a beer tent up and start thinking about it more rather than just taking the easy option. Start thinking well before the event and it's a win win situation

Like a former member of this forum said it will no doubt be full of the same faces, what about the other people who go in early doors every week missing out purely because of a so called selection process, its ok saying it re-opens at 1:15 but look at how busy it was boxing day and where expecting 3k fans plus..............

Would have been good to see the beer tent back like what Taunton put in, but with the media coverage will there not be television vans and all that taking up some of that space? Still other arrangements could be made.

Probably will be but they're also the people who put the miles in every weekend following the club, drink in the crossbar every home game, have travelled from abroad for the game etc etc so it's nice to give them something back.

Honestly think there isn't really any fairer way of doing it, some people just have to have something to moan about.

There's not usually many people in there before 13.15 anyway.
