Does this not merit a seperate thread? Too many posts on this will be 'lost' on the Raith v Accies thread. This appears to be an important topic where there appears to be a lack of transparency in the lottery draw, within the Club.
From memory, the 50/50 ticket used to be drawn from a revolving bin at half time ON THE PITCH, and the winning number then announced, or shown on a board for all to see. There is plenty of time at the half-time interval for an open & transparent operation. Without that, any unsupervised "behind the scenes" draw' of a 'winning' ticket' has to be suspect, whether at Accies or anywhere else. The eventual destination of any income, from those buying tickets, is another matter entirely.
Some may say the 50/50 draw is fixed. I couldn't possibly comment.
