For over 20 years now the Gold Bond Weekly Draw has been a major source of revenue for Blackpool FC.The concept of the draw is very simple in that every week £5,500 is given away in prizes by the club with members paying multiples of £1 to have the chance to win any of the 286 prizes.All monies left over after the winners have been paid out is deemed profit by the club and used to keep us on a sound financial footing and help the manager of the time strengthen his squad.

In addition to the 286 weekly cash prizes the club also gives away a donated jackpot of £25,000 at the end of each season.The draw for this is invariably made on the pitch, fixtures permitting of course.The good news doesn't end their either as in July 2007 the club announced a £50,000 charity initiative which will see good causes benefiting to this substantial figure.

Joining Gold Bond is very simple.You can pay via standing order click here for a form, at your local newsagent or via one of our army of door-to-door collectors.If you need any assistance in joining feel free to e-mail Richard Wild at goldbond@blackpoolfc.co.uk or telephone 01253 685 006.

In order to increase membership of the draw we are also actively looking for fans to become agents.Anybody is literally welcome to become an agent or member, whether that's in your local pub or at work, but we want fans to collect these £1s on our behalf.

We drop everything off and collect the money back from you each week, all we ask is that you recruit the members.We already have several agents in workplaces around the town but we always need more!

Benefits of becoming an agent are:

15% commission on all monies collected

10% bonus on all winners

10% discount in the club shop (for agents with 10 members or over)

Substantial discount on a season-ticket

(dependant on membership but discount available as long as you have over 10 members)

Each week the winners of the draw are publicised here on the website with all lucky recipients of the cash being paid automatically.
