Selecting a winner

The Prize draw winner will be randomly selected by a computerised random generator from all valid entries received within the Competition Period. All entries will be verified by the Club and/or its agents.
The winner will be notified by email within seven days of the Competition closing date. In order to accept the prize, the winner will be required to communicate their acceptance to the Club by email within five days of being offered the prize. The Club may require the winner to communicate their acceptance to the Club on less notice if reasonably necessary (prior to a matchday). Reasonable efforts will be made to contact the winner. If the winner cannot be contacted or if the winner fails to communicate their acceptance of the prize to the Club within five working days of being contacted by the Club, or is unable to comply with these Competition T&C’s, the Club reserves the right to offer the prize to the next eligible entrant drawn at random. The Club’s selection of the winner is final.
The Prize
The prize will be a bespoke football scarf for every member (as of the opening date) of the branch of the winner. There is one prize available. The scarfs will be dispatched to the contact the Club has for the branch lead.
No cash alternative to the prize will be offered. The prize is non-refundable, non-transferable and cannot be offered for sale.

In the event of a prize being unavailable, the Club reserves the right to offer an alternative prize of equal or greater value. The Club reserves the right in its sole discretion to withhold delivery of the prize until proof of eligibility and/or identity requested by the Club has been confirmed and if such proof is not produced on request to disqualify the entrant from the Competition. The winner is responsible for ensuring they are able to comply with these Competition T&Cs. In the event they are unable to do so then the Club reserves the right to redraw the prize.
The winner is responsible for their own expenses and arrangements not specifically included in the prize including travel, accommodation expenses, insurance and any necessary travel documents, passports and visas.
The Club is not liable for delayed or non-delivery of prizes for any reason beyond its control, including but not limited to loss or theft in transit or any failure by you to accept delivery of a prize for any reason.
If the winner has a physical or mental impairment which would inhibit their ability to enjoy/ make full use of the prize then the Club asks that the winner makes this clear to us when he/she claims the prize so that the Club can consult with the winner well in advance and seek to make such reasonable adjustments as are practical and within our control, based on the circumstances to ensure the winner can enjoy the prize to the fullest extent. Where this is not possible, the Club will provide the winner with an alternative prize of equal value.
Depending on the Competition you have entered, please refer to the additional terms & conditions below which may apply to the Prize if it involves trips & city experiences and/or match tickets. Where such prizes include a place for a companion (i.e. a ticket for the match plus guest) then these Competition T&Cs also apply to those persons.
