Stop buying it!
Yet again the Star has failed to report on a Rovers midweek match despite being called "Doncaster Edition " and having Liam Hidden there. I am getting fed up of complaining about increasingly reduced coverage of Doncaster matters including the Rovers. You can be sure that if Wednesday or United have a midweek game it is covered in full detail.
Years ago before internet ,Retford Paul would cut out Rovers news from the local papers and send them to me abroad .He has always been an especially kind and thoughtful guy .
It really is a shambles that we don’t have a proper daily eve paper reporting on all things Doncaster... ...Not bought it for at least 12 years. Nor have i bought the free press for the last 5 yrs either as all Rovers news in on the Free Press Website or DRFC site.
As someone who never buys a newspaper and hasn’t done for donkeys years, I can’t understand why people need to.After all everything you need to know can be found on the internet.If you want any political news, just log in to the vsc.
Maybe Liam Hidden couldn't see the match? Just a thought.

For me it is the floating fans that might buy a paper and see it in there. The Internet is only any good if you want to go looking for rovers, many would not go on the net unless they are fans but the floating public might see it I the press and say I fancy that

Liam Hoden covers Rovers in great depth and does most of it through online now, which works for the majority.
