[Archived] Rovers Adopt A Bucket Scheme For 2016/17 Season

[Mike Graham]

I have been reliably informed that Rovers are going to drop ST's in favour of a bucket collection next season. The cost of postage and staff administration are behind this innovative scheme. It also means Rovers may fudge some HMRC tax reporting.

Local businesses are being asked to sponsor a bucket for £5 per game. The Top Wok have already promised to sponsor 2 buckets for the first 5 games.

Fans will be asked to put in the buckets what they believe is a fair amount. Rovers are also thinking about additional buckets at the end of games on the basis the entertainment on offer will encourage more donations.

Wonder if KFC will supply some of their value buckets?

They'd need to remove the buckets at half time or there'll be no money left after post match withdrawals.

Most games this season they'll owe us money from the buckets for enduring it.

As crazy at that sounds, they'd probably make more money that way, because ST sales are going to bomb next season.

That doesn't seem to be registering with those in charge, no doubt the new yes man is telling them don't worry appoint Dunn & Irvine win a few and they'll come flocking back. More head in the sand stuff.

Not April 1st is it?

You guys have got it all wrong. What this means is every season ticket holder will be provided with a bucket and when things get really bad, you can place said bucket on your head and pretend everything is ok.

[tomphil]

At least the sound of five thousand clattering buckets might make a bit of atmosphere. Then when one breaks it's time for a new song 'there's a hole in my bucket dear Venkys' !

[Stuart]

C'mon guys, these bucket jokes are beyond the pail.

[Mike Graham]

Not like you to pitcher in Stuart

This season they would owe us the bucket!

[Jock]

Even the chickens are revolting

Venkys are also insisting every fan put a bucket in their bucket and a bucket list in that, and are encouraging every bucket to find a different coloured bucket to partner up with and make the atmosphere more colourful. Every exposed body part not covered by a bucket will result in ejection from the ground and a season long ban. The players will also emerge from the tunnel in a circle covered by an enormous bucket to keep the opposition guessing as to which players they'll be facing.
