After months of waiting for the story of the last season at Belle Vue to get to print, Tony Bluff and Steve Uttley's 'Never Another Saturday' book will finally go to press in the next few weeks with an expected arrival date of October. After months of legal problems at the original publishers, Steve Uttley finally took the decision to move to another book publisher, Breedon Books, who have not only designed a much bigger and comprehensive version but also made it full colour throughout. Although because of the better and bigger publication it will now sell at £16.99, the club have decided as a thank you to everyone who has paid to pre-order the book at the early price that they will get it at that price. So if you pre-ordered, you will get a bigger and better book at half the selling price. Steve Uttley said "It's been a long and winding path to this book's publication with obstacles throughout but what a book it now looks - much better than the original design. We have had everything ready since Christmas but have been frustrated. I would like to thank everyone for their patience waiting for our book. I know they will all enjoy reliving that final year from the Arsenal game to the Makepeace testimonial finale"

About the Book
Tony Bluff, with the text and Steve Uttley, taking the photographs, have produced a book to record life at the club during the final twelve months in the life of a stadium, Belle Vue, that had been the home of Doncaster Rovers for 84 years. Many people will lament it's passing but old age had finally caught up with the grand old lady and it was time to move on. Tony and Steve have previously co-operated when compiling a pictorial record of the history of Belle Vue in the "Book of Belle Vue" and this book will augment that publication by providing the final chapter to the history of a football ground that will live in the memory of the fans who have passed through it's portals. It will certainly do that for Tony, the club historian, who first attended Belle Vue over 50 years ago when crowds of 20,000 were the norm and was struck by the homeliness of a ground where every spectator felt close to the action on the pitch. Recording the build up to the demise of the stadium proved to be an emotional journey, which culminated at the final game in the old eyes being somewhat moist. Steve joined the club during the Conference days as an IT Consultant and is now the Media Manager and club photographer. He took the opportunity to do what no one else had done and compiled a photographic record of the stadium for posterity, a selection of which appear in the book and will evoke many memories, particularly of the final game against Nottingham Forest.

The thousands of people who have spent their Saturday afternoons watching their team play at the stadium will, of course, have their own memories of Belle Vue and the dramas that have taken place there so the photographic record in this book will enhance that memory when conversations at work or over a pint at the pub turn to nostalgia whenever the mention of Belle Vue crops up. For the generations to come who will never know Belle Vue it will be a record of times past.
