[edit] Team kit

Bristol Rovers team kit for the 2009-10 season. Copyright Historical Football Kits and reproduced by kind permission.

This season marked the end of the long-term partnership with Cowlin Construction, who had been the main shirt sponsor for the previous eleven years. Due to the general economic situation at the time, a replacement sponsor proved difficult to find, and the club eventually decided upon having a draw to decide who's name should appear on the shirt.

The football club sold tickets at £1,000 each to local businesses for a place in the draw, which offered three main prizes:

  • 1st prize: The winning company's name on the front of Rovers' home shirts for duration of the season.
  • 2nd prize: The company's name on the front of the away shirts.
  • 3rd prize: A perimeter advertising board at the Memorial Stadium.

All losing entries were awarded with a hospitality package worth £700.

The draw was initially capped at 100 entries, but after the club secured the League Cup draw equipment to pick the winner this was reduced to 96, which was the number of balls that the Football League provided. All 96 tickets were sold before the deadline, and the winners were drawn by comedian Eddie Large.

The winning companies were recruitment specialists N-Gaged, who took the home shirt sponsorship, and solicitors Stevens, Hewlett & Perkins, who had their names added to the away shirts. The third prize winner was Guitarbitz, on online guitar retailer.
