The Tote End Old Boys are working together with The Community Trust to host an exciting and challenging fundraising event, The 3 Stadium Walks 2022!
Taking place on Sunday 9th October 2022, we are asking our fans and supporters to dig out their walking shoes, grab a bottle of water, get the dog lead out and join us on a 13.2 mile walk around the 3 homes of Bristol Rovers FC.
Starting at Twerton Park, which was home to Rovers for 10 years between 1986 and 1996, then making our way along to Eastville, our home for 90 years before we moved to Twerton Park. The final stretch of walk will see us head to the Memorial Stadium, our current home, where our walkers will finish the 13.2 mile walk.
The route will be clearly marked and will be marshalled by volunteers and students from the Bristol Rovers Community College. There will also be a number of water stations available .
Once back at the Memorial stadium the bar will be open, we will have live music and food available, so we welcome everyone to come along and cheer on our walkers and enjoy an afternoon of fun.
Hopefully quite a few will sign up to take part to walk in the footsteps of our heroes

Just a quick message to bump this as the walk is this Sunday so there’s still time to register to take part ….. so far there’s about 100 doing it. The bar will be open at the Mem from 12 and there is going to be a catering van and DJ so a good opportunity to support the walkers as they return.
A big shout out and thank you to some of the Community Trust students who helped prepare over a 100 Walker packs this afternoon in preparation for Sunday

Amazing event today that has helped raise an amazing amount of money for the Community Trust …. Total amount still to be counted but has raised a good few £thousand from the 100 plus walkers ….
Big shout out to the Tote End Old Boys and Community Trust for putting on the event, first team players Harry Anderson, Jerry Lawrence, Ryan Jones, and Lewis Gordon for spending a few hours on their day off welcoming the walkers back and handing out medals - was nice seeing ex players Punky Paul Randall and Ian Jockey Alexander (who did the walk) chatting with them, and to all the volunteers who helped and acted as first aiders….. just shows what a community based family club we really are.
There were walkers across all generations from 12 year olds up to 70 plus.. amazing.
