bazapeps Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Just tweeted the club to see if there may be a way of setting this up. With a bit of marketing there’s no reason why a huge online tournament with swfc fans from around the globe couldn’t enter, with players, club staff, former players etc etc, basically anyone that wanted to play. We’ve all got plenty of time on our hands. Put a % of the pot to charity too. No reason why couldn’t get a few thousand entering if word is well spread and be great if some players joined in. Just think it would be a good way of bringing the club and fans together and would raise a decent bit of money for charity too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SallyCinnamon Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 It's a good idea, but not sure if it is something the club would get behind. If the winnings go to charity then they might be interested. Would definitely be a good way of creating a sense of unity in this uncertain time.

Guest Grez Bez Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Great idea although the club will be wary due to the gambling aspect. Maybe get Owls Trust to host? Would be a great way for them to promote themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally I think a % of all entries go to charity, a third maybe. Would be a shame if the club wouldn’t. Think a huge tournament would be great, especially the pull of potentially being on a table with a player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
