This will be a proud moment for many people from Doncaster.Nice to be finally recognised as a city, it will seem surreal seeing signs saying ‘city centre’
What a day.And a new quiz question. Which two places of the same name are Uk cities Here’s to a great future to Doncaster City and Bangor City (County Down). Edit: Please please don’t change the name of our football team

Swansea I think

It is my home town (at least it was a town when I was born there) and they are still my second team since I started following Rovers in 1962. It also affected a well known local song called ‘Swansea Town’ - the lyrics can’t really be fixed.So that’s 3 places I have close connections to that have been promoted to cities. Not bad considering I have lived outside of the UK for 38 years The Cricket team might have to change name though - are they still called Doncaster Town?
Desperate Jubilee reinventing the wheel? From wiki, "Doncaster is generally identified with Cair Daun listed as one of 28 British cities in the 9th-century History of the Britons traditionally ascribed to Nennius."Personally tho, i hate it. First for having to change, "see you you in town" etc, and second, its part of the "nouveau bland Donny culture". Richard 1st made us a town in 1194, that'll do.
Bloody hell! I never knew that. Perhaps the city bonanza can help Donny become a pilgrimage site for the rest of the Scottish people?BobG
Well, I'm still going to ask for a ticket to town when I catch the bus.Still, it means we're officially a cut above the likes of Rotherham and Barnsley now.
