Oldham Athletic fans can win £1,000 every Sunday at a series of local pub giveaways. The promotion, reported by the Oldham Times, offers a weekly cash prize alongside the club's ongoing League Two season, where they currently sit 5th with 7 points from four games.
Manager Micky Mellon reflected on a hard fought point after his side conceded a late equaliser in a 1-1 draw with Fleetwood Town last weekend. The Sunday Social £10k Giveaway, sponsored by Sky, provides a fresh off-field opportunity for supporters. It runs every Sunday until September 20, with a £1,000 prize drawn each week.
How does the Sunday pub giveaway work?
To take part, fans must be among the first 100 eligible adults to enter a participating pub from 3pm on a Sunday. Each person receives a raffle ticket upon entry. The draw for the £1,000 happens within 15 minutes of the final whistle of the day's televised football match. Winners must be present in the pub to claim their prize. If a pub is not selected for the main award, a separate raffle for a free drink is still held.
Which Oldham pubs are involved?
Several pubs in the area are taking part, including the Bear On The Hill, Daisyfield, and the Pineapple Inn. These venues are part of the Proper Pubs group, the award-winning community wet-led operator division of Admiral Taverns. Proper Pubs operates more than 200 pubs across England, Scotland and Wales. Last weekend's winners across the North West included Matt Read at the Long Pull in Wrexham and Emily Kemp at the United Kingdom Inn in Willenhall.
Where does Oldham Athletic stand currently?
The club's solid start to the season provides a positive backdrop for fan events. Oldham Athletic have scored 7 goals and conceded only 3, giving them a healthy +4 goal difference. They are just 2 points behind leaders Bristol Rovers in the early title race. Fans can track the team's progress and upcoming matches on our standings and fixtures pages.
What did the manager say about the Fleetwood draw?
Mellon described the weekend's result as a hard fought point. The draw extended a run of form that reads DWLW across the opening four fixtures. This consistency will be important as the squad looks to maintain its position near the top of the table. Supporters can find detailed player contributions on our stats page. The next fixture for Mellon's side is a home match against Sutton United on September 12.
