The winner of 50/50 draw was long term Boro fan Mark Norman with ticket no. 08540. The prize of £264 I believe was an all time record pay out (unless Bob Perry tells me otherwise!) and reflects the large attendance. Congratulations to Mark and thanks to all who bought tickets. A special mention to Libby Mills who sold so many tickets on behalf of FaST.

Brilliant prize and excellent to see the uptake increasing recently. Well done to everyone involved. Dave Workman would be proud.

Hi Garry, yes I can confirm that Saturday was the highest prize since we started the 50/50 all those years ago, and Dave Workman would indeed be very proud of how well it is continuing.
The biggest prize when he and I did it, was against Hereford, when they were flying high, and they brought several hundred supporters that day.
Prize was around £230?ish I think, can't remember exactly, but the receipt books are in the box if anyone wants to trawl through them!!
It's remarkable how the 50/50 continues to thrive, and Libby is doing a great job in pushing it onwards, bringing some excellent funds in to FaST.
A considerable part of the increased purchasing power though has been with the introduction of pay by card, something I was very anti about in the inception, but I hold my hands up in being proved wrong, and even use it myself now!!
Now that, from a fully paid up member of the Luddites, really IS an achievement!!
Keep up the good work Libby, and all at FaST!!
