Title: Santa is a Rover 2024.
Post by: Nudga on December 01, 2024, 08:10:49 pm
It's that time of year again when the fat man in red and white comes to Donny for his footy fix.

Get your santa hats or santa suits out again for a bit of a laugh and festive fun. Let's fill the stands with red and white.

#santaisarover. Vs Tranmere Saturday 21st .

Won’t be at Tranmere but I’ve got a nifty Rovers Christmas jumper that I’m going to wear to Wimbledon that I might pair with a Santa hat.

On my own, own my own, on my oooooown!

I’m dressing up as Santa & will have a sleigh full of Christmas presents & a reindeer costume for my brother to adorn in which to pull said sleigh……but don’t tell him as it’s a surprise!

Bumping this up.

Last home game of the year and Grant and the lads really need us to turn out and fully back them.

Let's turn the stands red and white, dig out your santa hats or santa suits and let's have a bit of fun.


Life is too bloody serious at times so let's leave our troubles on Alick Jeffrey Way for two hours and really get behind OUR team

Bill Workman?

Not seen him for years, a true Popside legend.

I recently saw on a league two forum that Bill’s relation, nephew I think had posted that Bill was suffering from that bloody horrible Alzheimer’s disease. He had some quite amusing quotes, especially if we got a corner “ button your coats down …………….. “

Aye. Bill Workman, That's the chap. Couldn't remember his name. Thanks. He was a real regular. Sad he's suffering now

I used to pass Bill sometimes going to the Cheswold for a pre-match pint. He’d be heading to the Keepmoat as I went to the pub before heading back at 2.30.

Bump.

Would be great f you guys can share this on your social media and tell/text your friends about it.

Will make an amazing site all that festive red and white in the stands.

Decent effort for the 2nd year of this. I saw full suits in east and west stands.

I also met drfchound which was ace, nice to put a face to a name.

After chatting in the pubs before and after the match,  we've decided to do this again  next season but try to raise a bit of money for those less fortunate than ourselves.

I'll be in contact with the club next year about how we can do this ,  bucket collections and gofundme etc.

Thank you to everyone that took part today.

Good to meet you too Nudga.
Great idea to do a fund raiser next season and hopefully the club will listen to your ideas.

Good idea Nudga, saw a tweet from the club this morning asking for santa hats to be worn today

Post by: Pancho Regan on December 21, 2024, 08:36:30 pm
A great show of Santa hats today, including my brother who surprised us all with a hat and beard attached!

Well done Nudga for getting everyone revved up for this, especially considering you only just got back from your holiday in New York.

A fundraising version next year is a brilliant idea.

Santa is a Rover!
