Think we have both options. Think we still do a free one through the young pirate's. But I think we also have options where you can pay, get a free kit, match tickets for adults etc as well.
Might have changed again though.

Yes I think there are two mascots for each game. One is a pay/matchday experience option, the other a more traditional young pirate type. I think in this day and age it's a reasonable compromise between old skool and new thinking.

A bit different to when I was a mascot in our first season at Twerton. It was arranged by my mates Dad who had done electrical work getting the stadium ready for Football league standards.
It was versus Darlington and got called off and rearranged for a midweek. We won 2-1 I think and I remember how difficult it was to run about and kick the ball properly on such a muddy pitch - I was used to playing in the Avon Youth League on better pitches! I had my photo taken with Penrice and Tanner.
I'd not really known what to expect when my dad took me to the players entrance and I was taken off to the home dressing room. Kenny Hibbitt was captain and looked after me, showing me to a cardboard box full of various replica shirts of various size and age.
I remained in the dressing room for all the Pre-match talks etc and then sat on the bench with Bobby Gould, Roy Dolling and the subs to watch the game. Half-time I was back in the changing room listening to Gould ranting and raving, the players sat having a cup of tea while I sat silently in the corner. I also remember Gould swearing all match which I thought was very amusing, even more so when he kept jumping up and banging his head.

My two boys were mascots when we had...
"The Tesco" design kit.
I brought them a normal blue and white quarters one as I preferred it.
They were in the young pirates.
It was free.
On the day.
They were already changed and wife with the boys...
Terry and Carl.
We were allowed in the changing rooms.
She has never forgiven me.
Because I said to the wife (Carol) that she better leave.
Cus her eyes were popping out with a smile.
Reason was...
The players were undressing and she could see lots of bare bums.😯😅
The boys on the day had a kick around on the pitch.
Had a photo (Colour)
With Lee Archer.
Which they hang up in their hallway still.
As match started.
The boys took their kit off near the players changing room....
Andy Tilson appealed and walked by.
He said...
Hi boys.
Went into the changing room as he had just been sent off.
The finale score was...
1-1 with York City.
All in all a good day.
But at these today prices...........
I"m sorry...no.

Disagree with the op.
It's not abhorrent to charge, especially as every other club makes it a chargeable service.
As the op says in their own post, it's a privilege, therefore a value is placed on the service. And in this world of supply and demand, I think the club are morally entitled to charge for this service, and fans can decide whether it's worth it or not.
Bristol Rovers are not a charity. Of course they make charitable gestures, but that is the discretion of the club, not the fans.
I guess if they made mascot service a free service, the waiting list would be so long, any kids on it would be an adult by the time their turn came round; (working on 30 matches a season at most).

Only a few years ago the surplus pasties were bought into the bar after the match and were placed on tables as pasty slices, completely free of charge....
Although a wonderful gesture that it was, it did scream of shooting oneself in the foot....
I prefered the cheesy chips anyway....

Just out of interest, what would be a better alternative for surplus perishable food? Well, I think they found their own solutions to this in 2 stages: Stage 1; selling surplus food at the stadium exits for £1 (then £2 if I remember correctly) Stage 2; don't actually order enough food so that you sell out of the stuff and there is no surplus. |

Stage 2 would incur many many complaints, abuse to staff and further work and problems if they sell out too soon. Just take this place for instance...!? Agree with your analysis on stage1.. |
