Typical, you wait ages for a fanzine, and then two issues come along in quick succession. It may only be a month since issue 90 of popular STAND, but we’re back again with another edition to soften the blow of having to face the sham of a club that is MK ‘Dons’.
Issue 91 of the FSF Award winning fanzine popular STAND is on sale at Doncaster Rovers’ home match with the franchise on Saturday. And with the next instalment not due ’til the New Year this could be your last chance to enjoy an issue with that celebratory prefix. Mind, we’ve been shortlisted for the award again this year, so you never know, we might be banging on about it for another twelve months yet.
Where can I buy it?
We’re mercifully back up to three sellers for this issue, and find them outside the Keepmoat Stadium before Rovers vs MK. 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, and from about 1.50pm you’ll find one of us outside the South Stand turnstiles.
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 five issues have all sold out before the match.

Why should I buy it?
You only need to pay £1 for it. It’s completely independent and written by fellow Rovers fans, for the enjoyment of all Rovers fans. And, all profits go to local charities in Doncaster – we’ve given away over £5,000 in recent years – so at the very least you’re supporting good causes in your town. So if you can pay more than that £1 please do, it’d be very welcome.
