I do not apologise for mentioning SC events- If anyone can help them promote things and COMMUNICATE what is wrong with that? After all isn't that one of the committees biggest failings. Damned if you do, damned if you don't I suppose.
I am a Rovers fan and proud of it. I am sure we all want the same thing at the end of day. Anything we can ALL do to help should be done. If you know a fair weather supporter who lives close to you, why not offer them a lift to try and get them to come more often, if you don't usually buy a programme, or a pie, or a pint at the Mem, why not tomorrow, every little helps.
Re the Welly I don't have an axe to grind, I don't go every game cos of the kids and work, but I was told this RUMOUR this week and my mates are not meeting there tomorrow, because someone told one of them this RUMOUR. True or not I don't know - that why I asked!!!
I know thi smay just be hearsay, but I seem to recall that TRASH were asked to show some visibility of their donations and point blank refused. It would not be the greatest stretch of the imagination for a company to spend £5000 to safeguared future income of £ 100,000 plus. A good return I'd say.
Also, is it not true that the manager (sorry for saying landlord previously) has now changed following the earlier rumours?
Even if the RUMOURS are not true would it not be nice for this organisation who have made loads (millions?) since the move the Mem, at least sponsor the club in some way? The 1883 Sponsorship would be such a little percentage of the money spent by Rovers fans. Anyone going there tomorrow, or any other pub near the stadium can at least ask if they would think about it. If we could get 10 new companies to join the 1883 sponsors club, that would generate over £10,000. That could mean we could get A N Other loan signing if needed, for the end of the season that could make all the difference.
As others have said, Bath Ales categorically denied any support, financial or otherwise for TRASH. I don't know if an individual employee donated, but if it was the manager at the time, then i) he's not there any more ii) it would have been an individual choice and not the stance of the brewery iii) £5k seems an awfully large donation for someone in that line of work.
I don't drink in the Welly, but I'm very surprised at your approach. If you expect them do contribute, then this is definitely not going to help.
