Well done to Jim Chappell and Rovers supporters club for donating £16000 to Rovers Academy. These funds were generated from 50/50 ticket sales.

And well done Rovers fans!. Yes particularly Ken Masters who sold most of the tickets. Interesting how this newsworthy event is not bothered with where the Masters banned thread carries on regardless! |

Surely the 'funds were generated' by the labour of the Gasheads buying the tickets?

I buy 2 50:50 tickets every home game and have done for decades. Still never won! Not once did Ken Masters sell me a ticket. |

"Yes particularly Ken Masters who sold most of the tickets"
Utter tosh again!
Even if it was said with tongue firmly in cheek.
I will say however, fair play to the various bods who put themselves out in all weathers early doors to sell programmes and 50/50.
Kenny boy seems to have more pre match time on his hands, but I don't see him on mem gates or outside Thatchers End plying his trade.. 🤭

I think everyone knows that KM doesn’t sell 5050 tickets. At least I’ve never seen him. He’s too busy in the bar talking to his mates |

For the sake of balance Harry
Unlike the Share Scheme money that is transferred monthly into the Football Club’s account the money raised by our highly successful 50/50 Draw has always been handed over in ‘chunks’ as it is dependent of course on how many tickets are sold. Cup matches come into the equation in a big way and we have had quite a string of home ties in both the F.A. Cup and the E.F.L. Trophy but most have been quite poorly attended compared to League matches. Now that Rovers have unfortunately departed from all the knock-out competitions for this season the Committee have been able to commit to a sum for this campaign and we have decided on the same figure as last season of £23,000 for the Rovers Youth Academy and the first payment of £16,000 was made into the Academy’s account last week. The balance will follow as and when we can but certainly by the end of the season.
All this is possible of course thanks to the generosity of you, the loyal Rovers’ ‘punters’ who cough-up your hard-earned pounds at every home game. To boost the sum raised we hold a ‘Super Draw’ whenever we have sufficient unclaimed prizes to hand and we have another of these lined-up for the Easter Monday fixture against Burton Albion when we are hoping to have a 1st prize of £2,000 plus 2nd and 3rd cash prizes as usual. We will give you more details in forthcoming matches. The Supporters Club’s two Somerset-based Branches have also been busy fund-raising for the Youth Academy and I am hoping that our good friends in the Norton Radstock group will be able to make a presentaion of their own in the next few weeks but more details anon as they say. Thanks for supporting us and our branches and please keep buying those tickets!
Jim Chappell.

"KM doesn't sell 5050 tickets". This I think is a statement. "At least I've never seen him". Please explain what you mean by this ?
