The Bristol Rovers Former Players Association were honoured to be guests of the Football Club on Saturday 28 September, for our fixture against Wycombe Wanderers.
We were joined by 13 former players in the Seat Unique Hospitality Suite, where we enjoyed a lovely steak meal and the company of other matchday guests who appreciated the opportunity to mix and mingle with their heroes from days gone by (some more recent than others!)
Our guest list included Harold Jarman, Jim Eadie, Pete Aitken, Tom Stanton, Martin Paul and our President Billy Clark. Additionally, we were able to present caps, marking their debuts to Andy Rammell, Nathan Blissett, Neil Arndale, Richard Iles, Michael Meeker, Graeme Power and Neil Arndale in collaboration with the Supporters Club. Many thanks to Keith Brookman for doing the honours on the day.
Pete Aitken and Andy Rammell also took part in a Q&A as part of the afternoon’s entertainment, and the same two players were joined by Pete Aitken for interviews by Lance next to the pitch.
Feedback received following the event has been very positive, both from our guests and others in the suite for the match. It is hoped that further such events can be held later in the season, as it is evident from the welcome that we received that everyone sees the value of allowing fans to meet with their heroes.
