The 1901 Club 2025

[Bluebirds Trust]

https://bluebirdstrust.co.uk/the-1901-club/

The 2025 1901 Club is now on sale, until Sunday 31st August at 11.59pm.

This year the funds raised from your 1901 entries will be supporting the floodlight refurbishment and a scheme creating extra facilities for fans to enjoy on a matchday.

The new lighting system replaces the life expired one, with new efficient LED technology providing brighter illumination to the pitch.

A new bar area, to be constructed soon at the Western end of the Main Stand side of the ground, will make it easier for those fans in the seated areas to get a drink pre-match and at half time, enhancing the match day experience.

As an added bonus, anyone entering the 1901 Club this year will be entered into a draw for a place on an exclusive behind the scenes tour of the stadium.

All this, AND you can win monthly cash prizes by joining the 1901 Club right now.

But for those of you new to the Trust and / or the 1901 Club…..

What is the 1901 Club and how does it work?
25/26 will be the seventh season for the 1901 Club which is a major fundraiser for the Trust, providing a big fundraising boost going into the new season. The monies raised are split between supporting our share of the costs for initiatives within the SO Legal Stadium which are of benefit to the fanbase, and a members monthly draw.

On sale from Mid July to 31st August each summer, entries cost £25 each for 12 monthly draws (September to August) with three prizes per month.

The draw prize pool for the year is 25% of the amount raised from sales, with 75% (minus online processing charges) going to help fund ground improvements.

Previously those improvements have included completing the FanZone, the Holker End Roof, the new seated stands and the Disabled shelter.

In the 24/25 season the prizes were £200, £100 and £50.
We will not know until entries close how much will be in the prize pool this time, but it would be great to be able to pay out more this year.

Anyone not online can be sent a paper form to complete and return to us.

Entries will be on sale until 31st August so don’t delay.

No lottery agents to pay, no external business taking a cut. Your money goes to your club. The 1901 Club is your chance to help Barrow AFC grow and improve, while at the same time giving yourself a chance to win monthly cash prizes.

I'm trying but getting the message "Sorry, this product is unavailable, please try a different combination"

[greenarmour]

Me too

It’s on a go slow. Took me ages but it eventually worked. No wonder many of us want to keep the physical season ticket. It’s simpler.

Just done mine and for two mates seems to be ok now

[MisterPleasant]

Hmm, just tried again and facing the same problem.

[mall]

yes thats strange, just done mine no problemo!

[Dalton Bluebird]

Just done mine, no problem

OK, sorted but here's what was/is causing the problem (for me, anyway): it didn't like me logging into my Bluebirds Trust account. As soon as I logged in to my membership account the purchase was removed from the basket and it wouldn't allow me to add it back (message as previously mentioned above). When I logged out and remained logged out it allowed me to complete the purchase.

Sound advice Nigel, did the same and was able to purchase my 1901 entries.
Even though I can’t log into my account for some reason
Richard Ingham is aware there are ongoing technical issues that they are trying to resolve.

Thanks for this information. If there are ongoing technical issues, it will explain why my subscription has not yet been electronically acknowledged.

Yep, same here.

I've just tried and I can log on fine, but it won't let me add 1901 club entries to my basket.
I tried it on my chrome book then tried it on my windows PC and get exactly the same issue on both (sometimes chromebook causes issues that don't affect windows). So there are still ongoing issues with it.
I noticed that there is a max availability on draw tickets showing on the website - i wonder if that is the issue? If you remember back to the Fylde v Barrow match in our promotion season, some little ****** was stopping people getting tickets for a while by holding the available number of tickets in his basket making the system think there are none left, so everyone else got a sold out message. maybe a similar type of thing (but accidental this time?) is happening?

That's the point I made. Log out and complete your purchase without logging in. It's the logging into your account that causes the problem.

Over 100 entries sold in a few days which is a great start.

As mentioned above tech issues mean we cannot send confirmation of order emails out at the moment and while we are working on it, it will not be a quick fix.

Please email us on admin@bluebirdstrust.co.uk if you are concerned about your order.

As always with the 1901 Club, we cannot provide you with your number for the new season until sales close at the end of August when the list will be published.
