Few days left for anyone wishing to bid on a signed Fraser Forster postcard or a few rugby ball keyrings.
All profits to the 50/50 fund.

I know it's for a good cause so please excuse my banter, but who in the name of all that's granulated is rushing to buy this bundle of vital "must have" gas merchandise?

A fair point but we have raised approx £700 since the beginning of last season.
Some people's pockets might not stretch to the £90+ we received for the Bristol blue glass 125th anniversary paperweight or the £60+ we received for a very rare Away shirt last season
The fact is the rugby ball keyrings were donated, so cost nothing and at present we are likely to get approx £3.50 from someone who is not a Rovers fan.
There could well be a young Saints fan who would appreciate a signed pic from England's no 1 Fraser Forster, so again if it sells for £1, it is pure profit. At least Fraser made the effort to make a donation following our request. PS how many Rovers fans have any signed items from a Rovers player, who also has played for England? - we have a Rickie signed item ready for next season.
I have a few ideas in the pipeline for unusual items for next season, but have to wait and see if the club agree.
Of course if anyone has a Glos Cup winners medal from the 1900's, an original Eastville Rovers shirt, Alan Ball's WC final boots, or the replica Watney Cup (if there was one?), then please feel free to pass it on to the SC.
Any donations are welcome. If we done feel we are likely to make £2 profit it will go to the tombola at the Fun Day. Thanks

£700, that's good going, if all the items are donated and don't actually cost the club anything.
I got a 90's era tee shirt off Jamie last year (the bidding war meant I spent more than I wanted, but it all goes to a good cause.
I'll definitely put a tenner on Geoff Bradford's England cap if you can get it!

The Chesterfield BotS is a set of Pro star cards from the early 90's. I think it was an American company that wanted to introduce baseball style dealing cards to England to rival the Pannini and Figurini sticker market. It features a full colour card and pen pic for a few players from every club in the league.
The Rovers players featured are Ian Hazel. Tony Pounder, Justin Skinner and Big Dev. Also in their respective team colours were Gary Mabbutt, Nigel Martyn, Ollie, John Taylor, Dennis Bailey, Garry Thompson, Wally Walters and Billy Bodin's Dad.
Again, this item has been donated, so no cost to the club and may mean that we get bids from non Rovers fans. If anyone is going to the programme and merchandise fayre at the Men tommorrow, please mention this. You never know a full set may be worth something.

Quite fancy those being a bit of a ciggy/tea card fan. Ok I am a bit off the game here, but how do you bid? Is it ebay? |
