Everyone hates Donny

[Nudga]

Or so it seems on social media. Don't know what's going off this season but seems like every muppet from teams irrelevant to us is having a pop.
Some real cry babies, for instance Walsall fans taking the piss out of our away support when they're only averaging 52 more than us.
Bradford fans whining about absolute everything, especially that knobhead from the lower league look. I think Milton Keynes, Tranmere and Swindon have also weighed in with weird "banter"

We don't even get this much hate from Mansfield or Grimsby fans.

I sometimes read that Lower League Look and have to remind myself it’s a fully grown adult running the account. An actual grown man.

It's quite bizarre, I've noticed the same.
Literally don't care one bit about those clubs.
The sooner we're back out of this shite league the better

Be very surprised Walsall away support is more than us.
They are usually poorly supported away.
Their hone support is a good 1300 lower than ours this season and they have been above us in the table all season.

And made up the numbers with a load of free issue tickets and bits of cardboard

The gate on Saturday was 2000+ more than ave.
So thought they must have had an offer on. Or was it the mighty DRFC they came to see.
Probably the latter I would think roversdude.

The Real EFL podcast is really good on Spotify. It covers all the teams equally and professionally in their league 2 previews and reviews, rather than just made-up gossip and goading.

With all the bitching, sarcasm and in-fighting on Viking Chat I have taken to other social media sites. I have noticed the bile and pleasure other sites get when we fail to beat them, that is why it is so depressing when we have been in bad for most of this season and given them the opportunity to get at us. Only by us winning can we shut them up.

Easy to forget if you've watched us for a while and remember us being a middling 4th division team for much of our history, but we're a relatively big club at this level. Most of those chucking stones on social media will be of an age where they've grown up knowing Donny as a solid Championship club playing some of the best football in the division.

We've been levels above teams like Bradford for a lot of those years. It's no surprise teams enjoy giving us a kicking when we're down, just as we enjoy beating bigger teams who fall down to our level. Part of the game.

Walsall had their schools reward week for the Donny game, normal free tickets for the kids and really cheap tickets for up to 4 family/friends. My Godson's school had c100 kids and parents/friends (including 2 Rovers fans) all sat together in one block in the family stand. Sitting them together was a really good idea as the kids moved to sit together and were badgering their parents about coming again with their mates rather than just a one off.

That probably boosted their home attendance.

do they count the attendance in halves ?


i thought of that trick "get em young" a few years ago

[Padge_DRFC]

If you're a club in the midlands you always over the season have less distance to travel to away games with regards to away crowds.

[roversdude]

Where were all the Bradford fans btw

[idler]

There are always a lot less City fans on a midweek game compared to a Saturday home game. More would have been there if they had been in the top 5 or 6 though.

[roversdude]

Thanks idler I was amazed at how few there were

Is that not the same for any club?
Do Tuesdays work differently in Bradford?

[idler]

It does but look how many less attend midweek at Bradford compared to other clubs. I know quite at my gym that go on Saturdays but not midweek after work.

[roversdude]

What was the attendance btw, they seem quite hidden away in match reports these days

[idler]

17,138 is their figure and I can’t remember how many were of them were there from Donny. How many actually were there is another matter.
Tyler Smith said in today’s Telegraph & Argus “ In the first half we weren’t great and they were there for the taking. We should have walked away with three points and we needed to”.
I don’t know what match he was watching.
