Pop Star Buys Favourite Football Club

***Keith_M*** · 20-06-2014 12:01 PM

Some wee twat called Louis Tomlinson, from some Pop band I've never heard of, has bought his favourite Football Club, Doncaster Rovers.

He's injected a cash sum of his own and plans to launch a Crowd Funding campaign to bring in money to help the team get promoted.

Do we have any multi-millionaire pop star fans?

What does everybody think of the Crowd Funding idea?

Don't know there was a Richard on the other day talking about pumping 1m into hibs it could have been Richard Fairbrass he certainly sounded deeply dippy.

Anyone know what Finlay Quaye is doing nowadays? Or the non brother who was in Bros? Both alleged to be Hibbies.

I can only see this heading in one direction.

Think he came on as a sub in a friendly or charity match for the last ten or twenty minutes. 95% of the crowd that day went straight from school.

Too late, he was already skint a few years back

Hoping to attract £2 million of fund raisers money to achieve Premier league success. Is this fantasy league. That's chicken feed.

Tomlinson and Ryan have put in a six figure sum (so anywhere between £100K and £999,999). Anyone's guess what the actual figure is. Hope they have a good business plan as that money will disappear faster than Lord Lucan.

I'm sure he signed a contract with them on deadline day a while back. Am I tripping?

He was registered as a player, this enabled him to compete in a reserve match for Doncaster. All money raised from the tickets went to a local children's hospice where he is a patron of the charity.

Has anyone else had a look at their forum? Not a happy bunch right now!

It's b0ll0x isn't it.

However, that was the paper's spin on things, I don't think either of them mentioned the EPL.

I wouldn't put much trust in the writer's skill with numbers, as he mentions 'Ryan, 52'. Have a look at the guy in the photo, he looks nothing like 52....not surprising really, as he's actually 64.

He came on as a sub for Doncaster Rovers in his only game for them in 2003 aged 52 although he didn't even touch the ball.

***Jones28*** · 20-06-2014 12:58 PM

At the end of the day, is he just doing what most Hibs daft folk would do if they were minted?

**Turkish Green** · 20-06-2014 01:10 PM

Read the thread title and for a nanosecond thought it was Fish. Then thought "Pop Star"?

This will all end in tragedy for Donny.

**iwasthere1972** · 20-06-2014 01:38 PM

It will go one way or another although I would expect that he'll have his moments.

I can't imagine me being a happy Hibee if this happened to us, got a link?

It's almost like a dream team storyline. The team bus needs to blow up though.

**Haymaker** · 20-06-2014 02:09 PM

I imagine Donny made a fair wedge on shirts with his name on them.

Someone better tell Levein, he was seen this week leaving her house, driving her car and trying to hide his face when spotted coming out of her drive by a workman.
