Super Fan Aidan named Face of Rovers Telecom

A Rovers-mad schoolboy has trounced the competition to be named the Face of Rovers Telecom.

A photo of nine-year-old super fan Aidan Smith from Gowdall, near Snaith, won the most Facebook ‘likes’ in an online competition, making Aidan the front man for a new mobile phone network for Rovers fans.

The new Pay As You Go network has been launched by Rovers Telecom, an innovative partnership between the club and Doncaster-based communications specialist Kat Communications.

Anthony Temperton, Kat Communications Managing Director, joined Rovers’ players including left back Tommy Spurr to present Aidan with an iPad2 and a Rovers PAYG SIM card.

Anthony explained: “Aidan’s a great ambassador for Rovers Telecom and for Doncaster Rovers. He goes home and away with his family and he’s the perfect person to front this exciting new partnership. There were hundreds of votes cast and some excellent photos uploaded. Aidan has done really well.”

Aidan’s mum Karen added: “He was just gobsmacked when he won. Aidan printed out lots of notes for his school friends to encourage them to vote. He even stood up in assembly to canvas votes.”

Aidan met his favourite player Tommy Spurr at Rovers’ training ground and was presented with his prize.
He will now front an advertising, web and poster campaign to promote the new Rovers Mobile Pay As You Go SIM card.

The SIM card gives fans superb UK coverage, cheap calls and texts and Rovers get a share of the top up revenue. The Rovers Mobile network has 99 per cent UK coverage and SIM cards cost £10 and that includes a £10 top up.
Fans calling other Rovers mobile network customers will get calls and texts from just 5p. You can top up at 45,000 locations through Paypoint, Payzone and with a credit card.
