Crystal Globe Draw

**ConfusedBlue** · 14/03/2006, 11:39 AM

Less than a week remains for you to buy your tickets to be in with a chance to win a Waterford Crystal Globe valued at almost €7000. The draw has been arranged by the Friends of Waterford United and will take place on Saturday night next 18th March in The Olde Ground Bar. The winning ticket will be chosen by Chief Executive of the FAI John Delaney. All funds raised will be used to cover the costs of providing transport and accomodation for the Blues squad for away fixtures over the coming season. Tickets cost only €5 so if you have not bought yours yet, DO IT NOW before it is too late. Tickets can be purchased online or by contacting any committee member-Click Here For Details http://www.crystalgloberaffle.com

Great idea. Are there any committee members living in the capital that you could buy tickets off?

I don't know if there is any committee members living or working in Dublin but the tickets can be bought online (if you have a credit card) or I'm sure if you fire off an e-mail to the lads they could sort you out with one someway or other if you're interested!!!!!!!

If anybody is interested you can just log on to www.waterford-united.ie and there is a link on the page which will take you straight onto the webpage for the globe where you can buy online if ya have a credit card.
We have sold tickets as far as the USA and also exiles in the UK by the website so thanks to all who have bought a ticket, much appreciated !!

Thanks for the support lads, it sgreat value for money and its all down to the workers in the Crystal factory that came upon the idea of helping the club, the amount of support we have received has been fabulous, we have sold tickets to other supporters too, a special word of mention to certain supporters from Shamrock Rovers who bought a good few on-line, cheers lads and thanks !

Typical

There never was a crystal globe - was there

Developement of the stand will begin shortly we think and should be up for end of august/september, its gone before the city council and its a runner, its an 1800 seater so it will go a long way to add to the atmosphere of the place which can be dead at times.
