Tonight's Crossbar Challenge

Forgetting the cheesy gimmick, I actually think it's very good offer, it's not like the amount you'll win is a small amount. You have to remember that a lot of people for one reason or another don't and haven't play football so I'm not surprised about some of the attempts, I'd probably be as woeful at trying to get a strike at bowling of bullseye at darts. However with 8K up for grab I'm still going to give it my best shot and not worry about embarrassing myself in front of a few thousand people, in fact I'd do a lot worse for 8K.3

I'd love a go at it, would fancy my chances as better than average0

It's my favourite part of a match day!2

If my name's pulled out of the hat I'll ask you @AFKABartram to be my sub.
Then I get the money and you get the glory0 -
So few people going to the games they can all have a go between now and the end of the season!!1

Playing Ed Sheeran over the tannoy would be far better and considerably less embarrassing.killerandflash said:
It's half time entertainment, what do you expect Ed Sheeran?shirty5 said:It's another tickbox PR exercise. Some boffin at the club, thought this idea would sell more Jackpot tickets, when sales have dropped cause of the crap served up from the owner and his minions.
No one will win it as the participants are more Diana Ross, than David Beckham.2 -
I do think it's unfair you only get one shot
At least give the punters 3 attempts
Otherwise sack it off and give the money to Demelza3 -
Real good effort yesterday, so close , £10k up for grabs last game of the season2

If no one wins against Swindon - then all the players should have a go with the money going to a charity that they each nominate.11

That might explain it - those competing this season have been told it's the corner flag.0 -
If I had the chance I would never hit the crossbar, but I reckon I could smack it with full force into Brian Coles face.11

Let the subs do it v Swindon, keep going until one of them flukes it then give the money to the Upbeats.3

Trouble is there is only 15 mins in half time for one of them to be successful.sm said:If no one wins against Swindon - then all the players should have a go with the money going to a charity that they each nominate.

Whilst I have only attended half the games, I have been amazed by the number of pitiful efforts seeing as you can nominate somebody to take it for you.1
-
I no one wins this the prize money should go to Valley Gold so we can help fund the Burnley/Everton stars of the future.7
-
Why don't people nominate someone like Jackson to take it for them?1

Golfie Jnr was up the local rec on sunday & said he hit the crossbar 3 times from the edge of the "D" - not sure how many goes he had but at least he managed to hit the damn thing & not just trickle the ball into the goal.
Wanted me to buy him a jackpot ticket on Monday so that he could enter - I told him we would have to share the £10k prize if that was the case !!0 -

You didn't say how high the goal crossbar was. In our junior games they are normally about 3 foot high :-)0

I'd take it myself. Cue chants of "Who ate all the pies" from the covered end

It''s cringeworthy, just like all the others gimmicks they have trotted out instead of getting on and running the club professionally.
I realise I'm coming a bit late to this, but the crossbar challenge isn't put on by the football club. It's part of Valley Gold, as is the lottery, an organisation legally separate from the club.shirty5 said:It's another tickbox PR exercise.

Personally I look forward to it. The guy last week was so close, but the comedy value of the ones who miss is priceless.

Why do you think everyone is missing?

I've only been in around 3 times and I wouldn't have won. Even the strongbow tasted like piss.Joshuk87 said:

Solution to that is to get absolutely ruined. Not even piss tastes like piss when your 7 pints and half a bottle of rum down.Alwaysneil said:
