There is going to be a shortage of programme and 50/50 sellers on Sunday.
If someone can volunteer for just an hour between 1.45 and 2.45 then this will probably help raise over £50 for the football club.
Just though more people will see this request if it was added to this link!
I am not around due to family commitments, so there is unlikely to be any progs or 50/50 in the Welly, Drapers or pitch side before ko. (Although Ron who travels about 15 miles to volunteer and set up the programme trolleys at 12 does walk around the pitch about 10 past three after selling in Filton Ave, but this is selling progs only.)
I am no longer on the SC committee having done it for over ten years. It is a thankless task. The SC definately did a lot more than people thought and the likes of Ron Craig and Geoff Dunford were well aware and supportive.
I have no insight in the current situation, but people are free to volunteer or stand for election, if they so wish).

If we are talking about encouraging younger fans maybe the SC should reach out to the Gascast guys (or vice versa) and have one of the podcasts involve someone from the SC Great idea!

Give us a hint. Otherwise we might think it odd that the man appointed to the board as a representative of the fans, has private individual conversations about the future of the club, and keeps it zipped for everyone else. I don't think that was in the job description when the role was created?

So the SC fans director tells the membership what is going on and that information is to be kept a secret from everyone who is not a club member. No difference to the Masons then! So if I join this elite club, Ken will tell me everything that's going on?

I'm part of both this forum and the Fans Forum Sponsor club as well as holding 2 season tickets and my son is in the Young Pirates. I'd argue I'm part of at least 4 fan groups and contribute a lot more than the fee for joining the SC as well as a considerable amount of time. The sneering attitudes of some would indicate its not a group I wish to be part of but in all honesty I'm tempted to join just so that I have the right to say I dont want to join. Spot on Hugo. As I have said before, a quick look at the FFSC roll of honour shows you that the majority of the most prolific and controversial posters on this forum have never bothered to cough up a tenner for membership. That includes several on this thread alone. One things for sure 100% of our ten pound membership and every other thing we do goes to BRFC. Furthermore everyone involved takes nothing out of it as they are all volunteers. I would even go as far as to say since its inception it has raised more money per head of membership than the supporters club. It's a sad fact that over the years only a limited number of people on this forum have joined the FFSC in spite of what we have achieved and if they had done and still could, we would have done a lot more. Finally I would suggest a good rant/argument/slag off/debate (delete as applicable) on this forum is surely worth a tenner/season for the privilege. UTG! Great post. So many, including me, have asked for donations and help yet many of the same people do not think of joining and giving a little bit back.

My experience of volunteering for the SC has only been positive. It's certainly not a closed shop and they regularly appeal for new volunteers, ideas and expertise. The problem is our apathetic fan base. A couple of examples for you. Some time ago they agreed a new website was required for the SC so they appealed for help. They posted on their website, their Facebook page, on twitter, in the match day programme and asked people personally if they knew anyone who could help. The total number of replies they got across all these platforms was precisely 0. I'm willing to bet we have more than 1 website designer in our fan base and many others who have a working knowledge of how to build a half decent website. It ended with a SC volunteer teaching himself web design and building a new website. Yet people sit back and now criticise the SC for their website. Unbelievable Jeff! Example number 2. I was helping the SC work with the Sainsburys planning team on getting planning permission for the Mem. There were regular calls for people to help yet only a handful ever did. I was collecting signatures for a petition in favour of granting pp and literally had people at matches tell me they couldn't be bothered to sign the petition! That's the level of apathy that exists. At a Rovers match but could not be bothered to sign their name on a bit of paper! Meanwhile SC members were working tirelessly to get it over the line, even sleeping on the floor of the old shop so they could start again at sunrise! So to anyone suggesting it's a closed shop, or that they are unwilling to accept help I'm telling you that you're talking b0ll0cks. Lots on here saying they should do this or do that. Why don't you bl00dy do it instead of moaning online and regurgitating nonsense that is without any foundation. To add some balance I agree they (as every organisation ever in the world) can improve. But its not for a lack of trying that's for sure! Have a lovely evening one and all UTG

I've volunteered for the SC before.... Didn't get much thanks for it though, although I guess as I didn't know anyone it didn't really matter.... Still.... I did my bit....

I am a Rovers supporter but I am a modest person who does not welcome plaudits for what I do in my everyday life. But rest assured it is far more rewarding to the individuals concerned near where I live than me selling 50/50 tickets for a couple of hours on a Saturday when I have just driven over a hundred miles to get to the Mem to watch the team I have supported for the past 62 years.
