Been thinking ‘it’s been a while since the last fanzine’? That’s because it is, but worry no longer, as to celebrate Rovers remembering how to win at home, we’ve got a new issue of popular STAND out. Yep, issue 90 of the FSF Award winning fanzine popular STAND is on sale at Doncaster Rovers’ home match with Walsall on Saturday.
Where can I buy it?
At present we have two fanzine sellers primed and ready to go this Saturday, outside the stadium before Rovers vs Gillingham. From around 1:30pm until 2:50pm we’ll be in position beneath the statue on the path from the lake, and by the Belle Vue bar.
If we manage to find another person to help us out, from about 2pm you’ll find the fanzine on sale outside the South Stand turnstiles too. If we’ve not sold out before kick-off you’ll also have the opportunity to buy a copy after the match at the entrance to car-park two, but don’t take the chance – three of our last four issues have all sold out before the match.
