I think Mr Holtby can take credit for this idea, so credit where it is due

Regards the FFS Club entering this years 1883 draw:
Its a lovely thought, sadly the fact is we are struggling to get the numbers this season. We are Sponsoring every Rovers goal at £25 as Bideford Gas said, and we are currently looking at a shortfall to afford that particular gesture to the football club, for which i take full responsibility as it looks a step to far fundraising-wise.
To enter the Shirt Sponsorship draw would cost £1500, therefore we would require 150 people each putting in £10, which unless i'm completely wrong just aint gonna happen.
The old guard of the old official forum are slowly disappearing and the number of regular posters on here who contribute is low compared to a few seasons ago. Most of our long term FFS members no longer post/read regularly which means the FFS threads get very little replies/bumps. Sadly if i'm honest it now appears it is losing interest which is a real shame because from the outset it was formed to show forum's can have a positive effect.

We were great for a while but with a heavy heart it looks like our time has come. In regards to any shortfall I hope we will come up with something, we always have in the past. Brilliant though wasn't it?

I think Mr Holtby can f*ck off, IMO the blokes a (unt. do tell us more 3 years ago I was on a stag do on the same day as a Rovers home game. There was some trouble at the bottom end of Glos RD, it kicked off and I got arrested. During the police interview they asked me if I was a Rovers fan. I said yes and thought nothing more of it. After answering bail the police said nothing more would be happening, I was still a free man. A few weeks later I get a letter from Mr Holtby saying I'm not the sort of supporter BRFC need, or want and I'm banned from the Memorial ground. I wrote to him explaining the situation, he invites me in for a "chat". He failed to appear for our "chat". I just got another letter saying I'm banned. Basically, I haven't done a thing wrong yet he still wanted me banned. Up yours Holtby, I'm still going!!!!!!

If you break it down 100 entries at 1,250 is 125k. The club gives back 60k worth of hospitality and more.
Therefore raises around 60k sponsorship deal for the home, away, shorts, training kit and website sponsor.
Surely with the recent success and feel good factor more could be raised? I would have thought 60k alone for the home and away kits would be achievable.....

Are you sure the name on the letter wasn't Harper and not Holtby? It is not Ian's job to issue banning orders but certainly was Dave Harpers around that time.
