In the early 1960's PROMOTERS used various devices to boost Attendances and
fill the Halls apart from the Appeal of the WRESTLING BILL!!
One such of these 'Bonuses' used by Northern PROMOTERS was PRIZE DRAWS!
Not just Hampers or Free Entries but much more Substantially Tempting Lures which for
the Time were really worth having as opposed to Dusty Bins or Bendy Bullys of later years!
For example from October 1963 Tickets could be purchased for the Princely Sum of 2/6-
two shillings and sixpence-in Northern JOINT Halls for a brand new FORD CORTINA CAR!!
Draw to be made at KINGS HALL BELLE VUE on November 30th 1963 in the Ring!!
Who else remembers these PRIZE DRAWS?
Did DALE MARTIN utilise this 'Device' ANGLO?
Does BERNARD remember them at NEW ST.JAMES HALL?
MAIN MASK
Jackie Pallo had a raffle in his Scottish promotions in the 1970’s. Our family won one I think the prize was a bottle of whiskey I remember my father going into the ring to collect it.
