Good work Adamski. So, the conclusion is that they aren't 'coming for us' at all and we are further in front than we've ever been. their crowds are historically about half of ours and, no doubt, even less than that over the last couple of years. We're averaging around 19,000 since the rebuild aren't we so they're at 37% of our current support? Can't beat solid facts although they probably will try. OTIB.

No, it's the away support that matters most. Rovers take at least 3000 away regularly compared to the Ted's "crap away support" considering that they are a Championship side. Everyone comments on how excellently brilliant and well supported the much more liked "family" club from Bristol are....FACT. Nobody ever mentions how good the 82er away attendances are and everyone knows that Trashton is the biggest library in the U.K......FACT, plus there are litteraly thousands that can't get in at away games because of obsessed Sheeds mixing with the home supporters and then causing it to go right off with us family supporters getting unfairly blamed and subsequently banned for misdemeanours that weren't even our fault, it's all the shits fault, all of it....FACT! We are also prowed supporters, unlike you filthy dirty shoot shoot shoot the bastards who change with the wind....FACT.

Norn Iron Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 You know how the Rovers twisted our early 80's chant of "The gas, the gas. We've got to get rid of the gas" (Wilfred Owen couldn't have written better)? Well, how about we do something similar which will make the club shop loads of money? We have a few clever posters here who can photoshop/edit a picture before I can spell Jacki's real name. So please feel free to add a robin/club badge etc to this picture....

The formula is Quoted attendance + 3000 + 30 Ted's in disguise + 20000 (locked out). If this still looks bad add 5000 for beam back and 40000 listening in to Radio Bristol -1 prat who listened on the wrong frequency and moaned to Twentypence how biased RB was towards those dirty Sheeds.

JamesBCFC Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 With one of their pasty huts being condemned, I can honestly say Bristol Manor Farm have better facilities than Rovers. At their game last Monday they had their food stand open, plus a BBQ, as well as the bar open to grab snacks with your pint. The football is a better standard too.

SirColinOfMansfield Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 The man Bristol Rovers have hired to maximise the club's revenue and profitability "Bristol Rovers have hired Tom Gorringe as commercial director. Gorringe was employed as a marketing executive at Portsmouth and the club twice entered administration twice during his time on the south coast." Nothing like getting an expert in administration in when Wally finally uses up all the money and is looking for a way out. Happy Days! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolf Hucker Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 (edited) I love LinkedIn ... I am lucky enough to have worked in football for the last 8 years. My journey has taken me from Portsmouth FC where I started as an intern, working in every department before settling in the marketing department in a full-time role. During my four years at the club we experienced two relegations, two administrations and an FA Cup Final. The highlight of my time at the club was receiving the Family Club of the Year award in 2012. This achievement marked a stark change from the clubs failure to achieve the Football League’s family Excellence standard just a year earlier. Tasked with improving this area I set about changing the ethos of the club to put the fan at the heart and improve the match day experience. This resulted in an increase in season ticket holders for the 2012-13 season despite relegation to League One. The experience gained here stood me in good stead for my future career. At Cardiff, in the first year, my team increased matchday hospitality revenue by over 200% from the previous season as well as leading us to the 2013 Family Club of the year Award. One area that received particular praise has been our new Away Fan Strategy which was recently featured in the Independant: http://tinyurl.com/nuhym5u In addition we also produced a family video to demonstrate the ethos of the club, this was extremely well received and can be viewed here: http://tinyurl.com/cj56gaj In addition to this I was awarded the Star of the Future Award at the 2013 Football Hospitality Awards. I currently Head of Marketing at Brighton & Hove Albion where I am responsible for our sales strategies for all club commercial channels including ticketing, commercial, retail and non-matchday events. In 2015, I received the Rising Star Award at the Stadium Business Awards in Barcelona and in 2016 I was part of the inaugural Sports Industry Next Gen programme with honours. With the latter I am on a leadership programme in partnership with Barclays. Edited September 4, 2017 by Rudolf Hucker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to tell from that but these corporate awards are a nonsense; they don't go out and assess everyone in the field. The way it works is you have to create a lengthy blurb selling yourself and then get your mates to send in a similar one recommending you which usually you will have written yourself. My field of work has similar awards but out of potentially hundreds of entries in each area they struggle to muster three or four and I know they're coming up because I get regular emails inviting me to enter. "Rising Stars" awards tend to have even less entries; thousands of possible candidates but most people in their twenties really can't be bothered.
