Feel for them. They try to do the right thing and there is always one that has to ruin things. I am going to try and find out how I can donate £5 to them (forget the car).

If the whole fiasco was a cunning marketing ploy then it worked on me. Donation done.

My local team. I live 5 minutes around the corner and am a flexi season ticket holder. Shame some knob ruined it as it's a great little club. (it wasn't me who sent in 2000 entries)

Surely someone at the club has failed to do their job properly, why wasn't the free entry by postcard limited to one entry per person, that way 2,000 of the 2,001 postcards would have just been binned.

you're almost certainly right, but unfortunately Frome Town FC do not have a Barber-esque financial/legal eagle to help run things. Last week the stadium announcer announced a sub by saying 'and coming on is no14, erm, someone else' so that puts the difference into perspective a little!

Brilliant. The club should do that everyone the opposition bring on a famous sub.

The free draw was announced on MoneySavingExpert. Martin is normally good with these and rarely lets something like this slip through. Telling a million subscribers it's a free entry to win a car would get 1000's of cards.
