DONS BIKE DRAW DATE EXTENDED!
The raffle for the most famous bicycle in the history of Aberdeen Football Club has been extended until the end of the month with the draw now being made by former manager Craig Brown on Monday 31st March.
Commenting on the extension, a Club spokesperson said. “With there being so much going on in the build up to Sunday’s cup final, we’re received a lot of feedback from people who say they want to win the bike but simply haven’t had time to enter yet and that, coupled with theCyclejersey.com adding a custom made top into the mix, we would like to allow as many folk as possible the opportunity to get their hands on a significant piece of AFC history as well as a unique cycle jersey as well!”
The raffle for the unique piece of AFC history, is being undertaken in conjunction with the AFC Heritage Trust, with tickets costing £5 which can be purchased via www.afcheritage.orgby clicking ‘donate’ on the home page, after which a unique number is allocated to each ‘ticket’ purchased. Alternatively, numbers can be purchased at Aberdeen Football Club reception, ensuring that those buying leave their contact details, including telephone and e-mail.
All money raised is going to youth development at Pittodrie and Head of Youth Development Neil Simpson said. “The picture of Stephen being given the bike in the soaking rain at Hampden is one of the most memorable images of that day and it’s a real opportunity for someone to own something that was very much part of that occasion! Everyone who buys a ticket will also be helping to invest in the future of AFC and that can only be a positive.”
Tickets for the raffle can now be purchased up until 23.59 on Sunday 30th March 2014 with the draw taking place at Pittodrie Stadium at 12 noon on Monday 31st March 2014 with details of the winner published on the Club website that afternoon.

Sam Lauder, from theCycleJersey.com, and a massive Dons fan, commented, “The bike won by Stephen has a special place in the hearts of Aberdeen supporters of a certain vintage and we thought it would be nice to add even more value for the winner by adding a one-off custom made jersey!” (www.TheCyclejersey.com).
