How Fans Can Contribute to or Contact Donny Mad

Donny Mad (doncasterrovers-mad.co.uk) is an unofficial Doncaster Rovers fan site, and it offers two main ways to get involved: contributing as a writer through its Football's Writer Program, and reaching the site directly via its Contact Us or Advertise pages. Both routes are listed in the site's own navigation and footer, so you don't need an account to find them — but the site does not publish details of what the writer program pays, what it requires, or how quickly anyone replies.

Contributing as a writer

The site's footer carries a sign-up prompt alongside a link labelled "Apply Now" for its Football's Writer Program, described on the page as something that "can give you the edge you need to get ahead."

What the page evidence supports:

• There is a sign-up option inviting visitors to "join our team."
• There is an Apply Now link aimed at prospective writers.
• The program is presented as a way to get ahead in football writing.

What the page evidence does not state: whether the role is paid or voluntary, what you would be expected to write, how often, or what happens after you apply. Treat the "Apply Now" link as the starting point and expect to find those terms on the application page itself rather than on the homepage.

A practical way to approach it

If you want to write match reports in the style the site already publishes, the homepage gives you a clear model to work from. Its archive shows a consistent pattern of short, dated entries — for example:

One entry goes beyond the headline format and adds a summary line — the 21-Jan-2017 report on the 3-1 win over Crewe notes that Doncaster "maintained their four-point lead at the top of Sky Bet League Two." That is the level of detail the site mixes in with plain result lines, so a sample written in that register is a reasonable thing to have ready before you apply.

Contacting the site

The footer lists a Contact Us page alongside Advertise, About Us, Privacy & Cookie Policy and Terms. These are the standard routes for:

• General enquiries or corrections — Contact Us
• Commercial or promotional enquiries — Advertise
• Understanding who runs the site and what rules apply — About Us, Privacy & Cookie Policy, Terms

The site also maintains a presence on Facebook, Twitter and an RSS feed under the Footymad name, which gives you a public channel if you would rather make contact that way. Note that the page evidence does not include email addresses, response times, or a contact form description, so the Contact Us page itself is where you would confirm those.

What to check before you commit

Two things are worth verifying on the site itself rather than assuming:

1. Whether the writer program is open and current. The footer prompt and Apply Now link are present, but the page does not state deadlines, eligibility, or whether applications are being reviewed.
2. What "unofficial" means for your contribution. The site describes itself as "The Unofficial Doncaster Rovers Footymad," and the copyright line runs "© 2004 - 2025." Content you submit goes to an independent fan operation, not to the club.

If your goal is simply to read rather than contribute, the same homepage gives you the latest news, live scores, results, match reports, prediction games, fan forums and squad detail without any sign-up.
