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.
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.
It's half time entertainment, what do you expect Ed Sheeran?
Playing Ed Sheeran over the tannoy would be far better and considerably less embarrassing.
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.
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 !!

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

Then I get the money and you get the glory
At least give the punters 3 attempts
Otherwise sack it off and give the money to Demelza
I'd nominate Lee Novak or Tony Watt and tell then to aim for the goal.
Its the Crossbar challenge not the Corner Flag one!
That might explain it - those competing this season have been told it's the corner flag.

Why do you think everyone is missing?
