Not as easy as it sounds, especially in front of the blackthorn end. Would anyone gamble and go from the half way line???

Pretty sure you have to do each in a row rather than getting your pick of where you want to go from. Yes it says you can choose whether to gamble or not, so if you did the 35 yards and won the Rovers top, would you take the top? Or gamble and attempt it from the half way line for the season ticket? Open goal, but not easy from the half way line with an audience. |

Sounds easy, Perhaps not when each kick increases in difficulty and the whole of the Memorial Stadium is cheering you on. Can you hold you nerve? The first kick is from the penalty spot. This will win you a Bristol Rovers Scarf The second kick is from the edge of the penalty area D. This will win you a Bristol Rovers football The third kick is from 35-yards out. This will win you a Bristol Rovers shirt The fourth and final kick is from the centre circle. This will win you a 2016/17 season ticket Ist & 2nd look fairly easy assuming there's no goalie, 3rd pretty impossible unless you play football regularly, 4th virtully impossible unless David Beckham enters the competition?

Halfway line; I would have easily done it at one point but not so confident now that's for sure!!! |

Hope you'd be allowed to bring your boots! It would be a much more amusing spectacle if you had to take the shots wearing wellies, or maybe flip flops  |

Hope you'd be allowed to bring your boots! It's compulsory to come in full kit ! You also have to have lots of gel in your hair and a pair of cubic zercona studs in each ear!!!!! |

30 years ago the Halfway line shot would have been a challenge now I fear it's a step too far, but if selected I will give a go !

1st 3 would be an absolute piece of p**s tbh and I'd be quite disappointed if I missed any, they haven't got to fly in at any great pace or height.
As fanboy said, sidefoot all the way, nice and controlled.

Went down to the local rec this morning to practice. Had four goes and did the four shots every time. Will I get picked and if so will I hold my nerve?! Might be like taking a penalty for England in a world cup quarter final!!!

Toe punt is a lottery - could go in top corner of the net like a bullet or end up in the Welly car park!

Pretty confident I could manage the first three but doubt at my age and lack of practice I could reach the goal from the centre circle let alone get it between the posts!
Oh to be thirty years younger!
