The programme that was printed for the game with Ipswich which was the first game postponed/cancelled when covid struck will be on sale in the supporters club cabin on Tuesday.
All we ask is that you drop a £1.00 coin (more if you can) in the collection pot. All monies will go to the MND charity so they can help Marcus Stewert and other people with this awful illness.
Cheers Jamie. (Matchday Organiser)

I bought mine during covid to help the club financially.
I would recommend it as it is a donation to a great cause, but even if it is out of date, for quality and value for money (at original cost price of £3 - even better for a quid!) it still puts the current offering in the shade.

Agreed the current matchday programme at £3.50 is poor value lots of full page adverts big headlines no photo captions and on some pages too small font particularly the results match stats are almost unreadable. The days of award winning programmes during the Keith Brookman era are well behind us. |

Just bumping this to make other people aware of such a good cause.

The days of award winning programmes during the Keith Brookman era are well behind us. No doubt there are more adverts and "fillers" but since covid the number of volunteer article writers has reduced. Perhaps some forum users could donate articles? Obviously the club would involve some kind of censorship but a Pirate scouting page, (sorry can't recall which user this is - but a memories of a Central League ref/lino, a Swiss Gas Conspiracy Theory page and Big Jock pre match cuisine and jokes page would no doubt be original for a match day programme! How about an articles called "You never forget your first time" and every programme features memories of different peoples first Gas experience. With a mass of different ages it would span decades - even in the law of averages by chance someones first game was the same as yours no doubt the pre match journey and view of the game be would be totally different. But seriously, as mentioned the Pirate is not as good as it was, so maybe if a few people have the time and inclination they could volunteer to write a few articles each a season? Maybe a few left field articles would give it a boost? |

A selection of recent comments on topics like 'Favourite Starting XI', 'Ever bumped into a gashead away from home?' Marcus Stewart and Nick Anderton fundraising, and 'Joey Barton is unfit to be Bristol Rovers manager'. Ok, maybe not the last one..... |
