We are pleased to introduce 1000GBP.com – a weekly online football quiz which combines fun and challenging questions with fundraising for non-league clubs like ourselves at Royston Town FC.

Each week 1000GBP.com offers 50 chances for supporters and their clubs to win money, including a top prize of £1000, which will be split evenly between the winning player and their nominated non-league club – so in your case, it could be you and The Crows very soon.

What makes 1000GBP especially unique is that they automatically donate up to 30% of all fees to the nominated clubs, regardless of whether or not the questions are answered correctly.

Since the start of this season, many clubs have already benefited and as of 5th February, they include Saffron Walden Town FC (£6637), Colney Heath FC (£2524), FC Clacton (£1966) and Stapenhill FC (£1578) Money that will be enormously useful for clubs such as ours, that are so important to local communities and supporters

It’s really easy to take part and help the club. Just register as a player at www.1000gbp.com, purchase a question pack, and select a category. Each multiple choice question has been specifically written for 1000GBP.com. The time option you choose determines how many points you win and if you correctly answer the question before the clock runs down, you’ll immediately be entered into the weekly prize draw – and each point won represents an additional place in that draw!

The weekly competition closes at midnight each Sunday and winners are selected by a random number generator managed by an independent company on the next working day, with the results announced on our website Winning funds will be transferred to the online wallets of the successful players and clubs in the same week

We all know that our non-league clubs face challenging times and that football supporters love having their knowledge tested so 1000GBP.com was created to bring together both elements and we hope you’ll enjoy the challenge of the questions and the opportunity to win even more cash support for Royston Town FC and yourselves and be a part of our community by registering now at www 1000gbp com
