Bristol R*vers dustbin thread

This is so incredibly Tinpot, I thought is was a piss take at first.

Although, we have to remember that they have only been a Football league club for 2 seasons.

Another thought, with the Pie Eating competition, temporary toilets, wet weather ponchos and tents, they could play at Butlins in Minehead when they go skint and feel right at home.

True, but the gap is closing fast. The list represents 10s of pounds worth of improvements. Maybe as much as £1000. Times are a changing, Wally is spending his billions.

Almost 1/370th of a Tilson? Can he keep up this level of expenditure? Is this viable? Tick tock indeed.

And are they really showing themselves getting a hammering. The still on the tv seems to show their defence all over the place and they are about to concede:D

I think someone said it's actually that Mansfield game. If true it's unbelievable really. Although not for them it's not

As he revealed in his interview with the Post last month, Bristol Rovers' new commercial director Tom Gorringe made his first change at the club by putting a suggestion box in the club shop. However, as yet the club have not returned his P45 so he can move on to a proper football club.
It would appear as though Rovers have been inundated with suggestions and requests (some utterly ridiculous and delusional), but the club has wasted no time in getting to grips with many of them.
There will even be a number of changes implemented in time for this weekend's clash with Blackpoo
"We have had many positive suggestions, some of which we have already implemented, some of which are under discussion, and some which we spent a few hours crying with laughter about and we were rolling around on the floor in stitches, when our sides stopped hurting we binned them as they were utterly ludicrous," Gorringe told Rovers' web siteeNew
The club have broken down the suggestions into categories - how much?, Is it free?, Can we get it in on loan?, Schyeah right!!, food and drink, and entertainment.MORE
It appears as though many more changes will be made over the coming months, but the club has already given a clear indication of what they are looking to change in the short term.
Take a look below at the club's current plans.
Stadium general
The PA system has been updated with a sort of plastic siren thing that you find on bikes. It makes a sort of woo woo noise like an ambulance.
Bike racks are in place for the players
The lack of defibrillator's in the stadium was a major concern and two new ones have been ordered. You'd be surprised how many fans literally drop dead watching Rovers play?
Accessible toilet for the north stand has been ordered - We are adding additional barbed wire to the inaccessible one and may use it as Santa's Grotto later in the yearJMP_Bristol_Rovers_v_Peterborough_United
The club are currently discussing the following suggestions
More turnstiles to be opened on match days to stop thousands of fans being continuously locked out.
A lift for disabled fans in the East Stand. However, it's a forklift and we are trying to do a deal at the moment to get someone in on loan to drive it.
A card system instead of season tickets books - we have got hold of some lovely filofaxes from 1988 and we are handwriting the tickets at the moment on every page. 
Incentives for supporters to cycle to matches like Blackburn 
The possibility of providing wet weather clothing to supporters not undercover when it rains. However as it costs money Hani has refused at the moment. Maybe next year?
 
The club are currently unable to implement the following ideas
A roof for the east stand. However we are looking to replace the east stand altogether with a lovely new gazebo from Asda. We are just waiting for the black Friday sales and income from Santas Grotto to purchase it.
Improved clubhouse facilities - A toilet roll will now be provided in the ladies loo on Sunday's. 
Opening the ground any earlier on match days. Currently in talks with JCB contractor.

Food and drink
A Food Bank will now be opened on match days. All donations welcome.
Pedigree Chum Mixer
Bonio
The club is working hard to ensure they don't run out of food
There will be a pie tasting session on October 3 in the condemned pasty shack
Parking
The club is investigating the possibility of park and ride schemes from the UWE, so that's probably a no then.
The club is unable to increase the disabled parking spaces at present as they are current occupied by the players
Shop
A complaints book for returned goods will be implemented
It's not possible in the short term to have a larger club shop as can contrary to popular belief amongst supporters we are not Real Madrid.
Entertainment
Captain Gas has been provided with a new kit he will also be renamed Seamen Staines.
The club is looking at providing more options for entertaining younger supporters on match days by providing coaches to Ashton Gate and making more of PA announcements from Keith Valle

Fixed it

Ah, but in 13 of those years Rovers had the services of the second greatest manager in our history.

Luckily our fallow period has now ended and here in the 21st century we are all set to plumb new heights.

 

"The toilets at The Mem have also been under scrutiny and we are currently looking into ways that we can spruce up both the men’s and women’s toilets in the stadium.

Whilst some have suggested relocating the ladies toilets, we are afraid that this is not possible at this moment in time."

 

"Following a consultation process, and because we don't have two pennies to rub together, we have decided Not to renovate the toilets but to just direct people to the Bristol Rovers Dustbin Thread on OTIB, as it does a brilliant job of taking the pee out of our club."

Was this horseshit seriously in the Post?

"The club has wasted no time in getting to grips with the suggestions" **** off.

They'll print any old rubbish about them, won't they? Though fair play to the comedian who actually suggested they provided a roof.

Hard to know which of the two is more of a joke.

Why is that? The only thing I can think of is money. Surely these 'improvements' must be a wake up call for their fans who still think Wally is the masiah and not just a very naughty boy.

One would think - assume the pie tasting they have scheduled will be of the humble variety...
