Greater minds would have read the post on the next page first ;P

A novel idea might be to have a football match, say every other week, and charge people in.

Clubs have tried this.

There's absolutely no money in it.

Duck Race is a decent fundraiser and a decent bit of PR, it takes a fair bit of organisation day one, but once you have it established as an annual thing it's decent. (not that we did one this year *sigh* )

Table Quizes and Race Nights are easy money.

How did that Claret and Blue thingy turn out on an aside??

[Dodge]

Its still going, and so are Drogheda United, so you have ot think its a success

Pats have launched a prediction thingy for the Euros. €5 to enter. Top prize is €1,000

[A face]

Anyone else know of any fundraising ideas that dont hit the core support in the pocket, things that appeal to the wide community?

DundalkFC(in conjunction with a local hurling club) are running this fundraiser at the end of the month.

Looks like good craic.

"Let the Ball see the net" is the wierdest euphemism for sex I've ever seen btw.

Groupon deal from the Saints: Family of 4 for €20

Will be interesting to see how the groupon deal sells. I remember hearing groupon take a huge chunk of the profit from these deals.

[Dodge]

It's not a huge chunk (friend has sold stuff there before). If its just used by Pats fans it'll be a loss for club though. If it brings in 10 'new' families then it'll be a success

Good publicity at the least

This is the latest raffle being run by us. 5 Prizes in total. 1st 4 are tickets to Ireland games in Euro 2012.

Limited to 1000 tickets @ €10 each. Good prizes I have to say, and will raise a good few quid for the Club

Feel free to check it out and maybe even buy a ticket

Great to see the link with Moninne, Louth's best hurling club.

Not really "fundraising" but potentially decent marketing initiative.

Groupon is just a novel way of advertising/marketing. There's no money to be made from the actual deal, and most run at a loss. You have to offer at least a 50% saving to the consumer and on top of that Groupon takes 50% of what you actually take in - so for the €20 Pats take in, Groupon will take €10. So Pats are getting a tenner for a family of four..... It'll only work if you get new long term customers. Chances of that are pretty dodgy. We looked at it for our own business and decided it wasn't worth the time or hassle.
