"IT’S GENUINELY NOW POSSIBLE TO MAKE ENOUGH SAVINGS FROM DNA CARD OFFERS TO COMPLETELY OFFSET THE COST OF A SEASON MEMBERSHIP - ESSENTIALLY MAKING IT FREE TO WATCH ROVERS!"

GAVIN BALDWIN GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME BACK TO THE KEEPMOAT STADIUM FOR WHAT I AM SURE WILL BE A CLOSELY-CONTESTED MATCH. WE PLAYED OUT A REALLY ENTERTAINING GAME AT OAKWELL EARLIER IN THE SEASON AND I HOPE BOTH SIDES CAN PUT ON AS GOOD A SHOW TONIGHT. We go into the game on the back of a really gritty performance at Blackpool on Tuesday night. The conditions at Bloomfield Road must be among the toughest our players have come across, with the wind swirling around the stadium and the rain lashing down - at times the corner flags were pretty much horizontal from being blown around! We had to show our fighting spirit in that second period, and we know at this point in the season it is sometimes about grinding out results. Everyone has so much to play for that they will simply not allow you to dominate games in the way we were able to at times earlier in the campaign. Season Membership sales for next season have been very encouraging, don’t forget that our early bird prices secure your spot regardless of what division we are in. All Season Membership holders also get a DNA Card, which has really come into its own in recent months with a new-look user interface on the website and new offers introduced on a weekly basis. It’s genuinely now possible to make enough savings from DNA Card offers to completely offset the cost of a Season Membership - essentially making it free to watch Rovers! If you’re

reading this before the game, don’t forget to use your DNA Card for offers in the Belle Vue Bar, in the concourse or the Club Doncaster Shop. Tonight sees the launch of Fit Rovers Ladies, which is an extension of the Fit Rovers course which has been run here at the Keepmoat Stadium over the past few years. We have been involving a number of club staff in a trial project to prove the value and secure funding, and the feedback I’ve received is that they have loved being able to take part. I’m sure the Fit Rovers scheme will continue to shine. The Fit Rovers Ladies is just the latest community project here at Club Doncaster. Tonight, in fact, I hope plenty of you are joining me in wearing a Comic Relief red nose - we’ve pledged to donate £1 to the charity for every red nose we can count at the game. Enjoy the game.
