Golden Boot Game Web Log

INTRODUCTION

We still have the ten teams who played last season that have yet to exchange their prize tokens. This means we have been unable to delete any team’s data this month. In addition we have three teams that did not play last season but had won tokens in a previous season. These teams can still redeem their tokens up until the end of May 2025. So we now have thirteen teams that still have prize tokens to be exchanged.

TEAMS THAT DID NOT PLAY LAST SEASON

The three teams that have prize tokens to exchange but did not play our final season are Ard Mhacha Abuuu, donnyvegasisback and J1J1. While donnyvegasisback have over a hundred prize tokens to exchange, the other two teams have just five tokens each. All these teams can use the email address they used for the 2022 – 2023 season to log in to the Golden Boot game. They can be forgiven for not being able to remember their password from that season. This problem is easy to get round by clicking on the ‘Forgotten Password?’ link immediately below the ‘Log in’ button. You will need to enter your email address into the Password Reminder form to recover your password. As always, you can contact us for help, if you need to.

TEAMS WITH JUST FIVE PRIZE TOKENS

If your team has just five prize tokens to exchange your prize options are limited. In addition to the two teams mentioned previously, there are four teams that did play our final season that have just five prize tokens to exchange. These are Alabangers, Molineux Marauders, The Magic Magpies NCFC and We Are THE REDS. Most providers of email vouchers have a minimum value of ten pounds. Weirdly, you can get a paper Love2Shop voucher for five pounds. As this is a physical voucher we would need to post it to you, so you would have to supply your mailing address. The easiest solution is to get a five pound email voucher from Amazon but not everyone has that option.

There are a couple of alternatives that may be available to some of the teams with just five tokens. If you have more than one team that still has tokens to exchange, you can combine the tokens from multiple teams together. Alternatively, you can always donate the tokens to a charity of your choice. Charities do not have a minimum amount. Finally, if you know of any retailers who still offer email vouchers for five pounds, we will probably be able to supply those. Just contact us to let us know. We are keen for you to receive your prize even if it takes a little more effort on our part.

TEAMS WITH MORE THAN FIVE PRIZE TOKENS

There are five teams that still have ten prize tokens to exchange. These are; fdringo, Forest Forever, Imperial Boozeboys, Alabangers, OneunitedfanTrev and The Molineux Marauders. Luckily, the choice of email vouchers for these teams is much greater than for those with just five tokens. Almost all retailers that issue vouchers have a ten pound minimum value which means we can send them directly to your registered email address.

The two teams with more than ten vouchers to exchange, Tels boot boys and donnyvegasisback, have even more options available when redeeming their vouchers. These include tee shirts as well splitting their tokens between different types of vouchers and charitable donations.

DELETED DATA

All players whose teams are not mentioned in the previous paragraphs have now had all their data deleted. This includes all data held in backups, cloud storage, archives etc. The data deleted includes contact details including email addresses, any emails you may have sent and any emails we sent to you. All record of you as a player has gone except, for those who ever won one of our games, your team name is still recorded in our History section. However, we now have no way of linking that team to you as a player. Only you will know that those Hot Spot Games were won by your team. Eventually, in June 2025, even that data will disappear and it will be as if the Golden Boot game never existed. There is though, one final place where there may still be a trace of players names. Those who follow our Facebook page will still be shown as following it. If you wish to unfollow us that is fine, we won’t take offence. Eventually our Facebook page will be deleted at which point that data too will disappear.

COMING UP NEXT TIME

The next weblog for the Golden Boot game will be published on Thursday 5th September. We will be updating you with the progress we have made in respect of exchanging prize tokens and removing teams data from our systems..
