Blackpool Football Club would like to thank those supporters that have come forward in recent weeks to act as agents for The Gold Bond Weekly Draw.Through the generosity of these supporters the club has been able to canvass new members for the draw and if everything goes to plan this week a significant milestone in terms of the paying membership will be broken.

The fans that have enabled the membership figures to rise by becoming an agent include James Dyson, Trevor Pye, Paul Barrett, Graham Potter, Sarah Montgomerie and Michael Robinson.

Every penny from the £1 subscriptions collected by our agents goes direct to Blackpool FC and it goes without saying that the additional income raised in recent months is greatly received.At present over 100 fans act as agents for The Gold Bond Weekly Draw in The Fylde area but as always we are on the lookout for new areas from which we can get new members.

One particular avenue the club would like to develop is fans acting as agents in their workplace.Fans becoming an agent receive a discount on their season-ticket, or alternatively occasional match tickets if you aren't buying a season-ticket, and we will drop off and collect everything from you.

All we ask is that you sign up your work colleagues to become members of the draw and then collect their money each and every week. We already have a plethora of fans collecting at work but it can be very difficult for club staff to walk into premises and find new agents, therefore if you can offer to help we'd be delighted to hear from you.For further details contact Richard Wild on 01253 685006 or e-mail goldbond@blackpoolfc.co.uk.

The club's recent shirt offer is also continuing to attract new members to the draw.So far over 150 supporters have signed up and will receive a FREE SIGNED REPLICA SHIRT as a result and as always these new members are proving a vital source of revenue to the club.However, it has come to our attention that the occasional standing order hasn't yet been sanctioned by various banks and we'd urge any new member that has yet to see his or her standing order commence to contact their bank immediately.

If you would like to join The Gold Bond Weekly Draw and receive a shirt you can do so by downloading a standing order form or by joining via the on-line club shop.

Once you have joined you will receive a letter of thanks and be asked to notify us of which shirt you'd like to receive.
