Your name will also be entered into the prze draw NEXT year to have a chance to actually win the signed shirt of the players we sponsor. Although Gasheadblues seems to keep winning!! There may be other prizes added as the season goes on. I think we are due to have the prize draw soon for last seasons FFSC members too. It's exciting stuff as we run a live draw thread that highlights gregsgas inability to count and my inability to fix the draw so that GHB doesn't win again. |

The existing system works perfectly well boys - don't change a thing! Contrary to popular belief I can confirm that Gregsgas can count perfectly well and each year looks forward to the 10 cans of thatchers I drop off at his place about an hour before the draw starts. |

Evening all, I haven’t been a forum member for very long so have no idea what this is or how things work? Would love to become a new member but would also like to understand how it works? Does the money raised through members membership payments go directly to the club and do we raise more than just our memberships throughout the season? Really sorry if these questions have already been asked and answered somewhere previously. Thanks in advance

Does the money raised through members membership payments go directly to the club and do we raise more than just our memberships throughout the season? Really sorry if these questions have already been asked and answered somewhere previously. Thanks in advance I'll start from the beginning..... Way back when the original Rovers forum was still in existence the club was really in the doldrums. There was so much negativity around, it was really depressing. It was then that Jon the Stripe decided to do something positive. About half way through the season (and I stand to. e corrected) a young player named Tom Lockyer made an appearance for the club. He looked promising but as he was just a youngster he had no sponsor. Jon decided to contact the club and enquire how much it would cost to sponsor this first team kid. He was told it would cost £120. Jon came to the forum and asked if there were 11 other idiots who would chip in a tenner with him as a forum group. Yeah, a few of us did....well, more than a few. The Fans Forum Sponsor Club was born. As you can see from Jons OP, we ended up sponsoring more than one player that first year and we have been doing so ever since! In answer to your question, yes EVERY penny is accounted for and it all goes back into the football club. Any expenditures are discussed here and we normally decide using the mob rule of our members. A few seasons ago we introduced the Gas Bill were forumers could be challenged to put their money where their mouth is. How this worked was I say "Nichols won't score more than 5 goals all season. I will donate £1 for every goal he gets over 5" People have "bet" on clean sheets, league position, goals, signings....allsorts. It's just a bit of fun really and a chance to raise a bit more money for the club. We are always open to new ways to boost membership and funds though. I've already covered what you get out of joining elsewhere although I should have said that from the FFSC I have met some really great people that I would never have met otherwise and some of them I would now consider a friend. I did also meet Gregsgas so its swings and roundabouts. I hope this answers your questions, but feel free to keep asking! |

Like Hugo has said; it was borne out of frustration at what was going on in the club. I over the years have attended a few of the functions and have met some good people, as for Gregs we had him in our quiz team a couple of times now there is a man who knows some bizarre sh*t.
I look forwards to renewing my membership and meeting more of you over the coming season - UTG
