We have set up a Justgiving page: www.justgiving.co.uk/Goals4Luey VSC members and Viking Chat members can donate directly to LJS Foundation either as a general donation or pledging an amount per goal that Billy scores. No amount is too big or too small. Click here if you would like to pledge an amount. You can then donate either after every goal, or at the end of the season when his tally is known. You can also donation via text message by texting LJSV50 £5 to 70070. The £5 can be substituted for the amount you wish to donate. If you cannot make a payment via Justgiving we will also be offering a Paypal option or cash/bank transfer - although remember that for all donations made via Justgiving, the charity will be directly able to reclaim gift aid on your behalf.

Pictured supporting our Tomorrow's Rovers fund is James Husband - who came up from the Doncaster Rovers Youth Team and was given his opportunity in the first team towards the end of the 2011/12 season. He has since been an ever present in the Doncaster Rovers squad and has turned in some impressive performances, not looking out of place on a field of players with combined career transfer fees well into the tens of millions of pounds and he has continued his impressive display into this season.
This development of local young players is, in the view of the VSC Board, vital to the future of the club - a steady stream of players developed in the Doncaster Rovers way, who understand the way we play because that is the way they have been taught, and are able to come into the first team and be comfortable, prepared and excel. We hope that we can continue to make donations throughout the season from our Tomorrow's Rovers fund, and as such we hope that you keep supporting our cause by donating to the fund. We know times are hard, but see this as a very worthy cause with a tangible payback. Many supporters tell us that seeing local lads come through and pull on the iconic red and white hoops gives them an enormous sense of pride. Tomorrow's Rovers aims to help the club fund youth development with the aim of giving the local young players coming through more opportunities, and has been well supported by the fans. With the club successfully bouncing back to the SkyBet Championship, the vast majority of available funding this year has been directed towards the first team squad, meaning Tomorrows Rovers takes on a new importance for our next generation of home-grown Rovers players. Please support the project if you can by making a donation, and help our local youngsters realise their potential and become Tomorrow's Rovers.
