We Need Your Help! Can You Help Build a New Home for Our Young Gasheads?

Over the past few months, Bristol Rovers Community Trust has been working hard on an exciting new addition to the Fanzone for the 2026/27 season.
We had planned to replace our existing building with a fully converted and fitted 20ft shipping container, creating a dedicated indoor space for our younger supporters. It was designed to be somewhere children could play PlayStation and table football, take part in activities, meet Bristol Rovers players, and make lasting memories before home matches.
Most importantly, it would give our young Gasheads a space of their own.
The facility was due to be delivered and ready in time for the first home game of the season. Sadly, we received a phone call this morning to say that the local company involved is no longer able to provide it.
We've invested a huge amount of time into planning this project and preparing the site. More importantly, we've been sharing our plans with families and young supporters for months. We know how excited they are, and we desperately don't want their first visit of the new season to end in disappointment.
So today, we're issuing an URGENT CALL FOR HELP!
Is there a Bristol-based company, contractor, supplier, or generous individual who could help us source or provide a fully converted and fitted 20ft shipping container at very short notice?
We're looking for a safe, weatherproof space that can become a dedicated children's activity area, including:
PlayStation and indoor gaming
Table football and other activities
Young supporters to meet Bristol Rovers players
Families and children to spend time together before matches
Whether you can supply a container, carry out the conversion, assist with transport or installation, donate materials or equipment, sponsor part of the project, or simply introduce us to someone who can help, we'd love to hear from you.
Any organisation or individual who steps forward will be helping us create something genuinely special for local children and families. We would be delighted to recognise, promote, and celebrate everyone who helps make this project a reality.
Time is against us, but we're determined not to let our young supporters down. Please help us keep our promise and give young Gasheads the Fanzone experience they've been looking forward to.
If you can help in any way, please contact us at: 📧 adam@bristolroverscommunitytrust.org.uk
Together, we can help make this project a reality and ensure our young Gasheads have the Fanzone experience they deserve.
The container plan sounded perfect for the kids, especially having a spot of their own before matches. It's a real shame the company backed out so late. I hope someone in Bristol can step up with a container or help with the arrow puzzle to get this built in time.
