Share Scheme

The directors cannot support the club for ever with continuing loans, and without a major investor waiting in the wings, it means there is only one group of people who can Make a Difference in resolving these problems? and that is US the fans.
We can together invest in the club, to own a major shareholding and have a say in future decisions affecting the football club. And at the same time we can provide the club with much needed funds.

We need to raise £3.5m to help support the club. It's a lot of money.

But you can Make A Difference for just the price of one pint of beer a week! M.A.D. ? Make a Difference for the Rovers!

You can Make A Difference from just £2.50 per week, the price of one pint of beer.
Just miss one pint and use the money to help the Supporters Club invest in Bristol Rovers. And at the same time you can benefit from a range of discounts on leisurewear and season tickets as well as free membership to the Supporters Club. That makes the overall cost of joining the scheme for a regular supporter even less!

And where does your money go?
The money paid to the Supporters Club is used to purchase shares in Bristol Rovers Football Club at a preferential rate of £5. These shares are owned by the Supporters Club, representing over 3,000 Rovers supporters. For every £1 you invest:

you can help pay off the loans and also reduces our interest payments a double whammy!
you can help build a Memorial Stadium with family friendly facilities
you can help build a team to progress up the Football League

We are looking to raise £3.5m over the next four years to reduce the debt, start ground improvements and to build a team we can all be proud of.

But can the Supporters Club Share Scheme really make a difference? Well, in the first year of operation the Share Scheme reached pledges of over £550,000 and helped fund the recruitment of Andy Rammell, contributed to the transfer fee for Junior Agogo and helped bring in five players on transfer deadline day to save our league status in season 2003-2004. But it's only a start, and we need YOU to be M.A.D too and Make A Difference now!

Make your round a pint and a share please! Just £2.50 per week can help safeguard Bristol Rovers future.

Many Thanks
