Interesting why JR would be in Donny to be fair given he live's in Berkshire and we are down south at the weekend!?!?

Sounded genuine enough although Dick and certainly Brammall aren't from Donny!

C'mon Norfolk get your facts straight!

JR lives in Cheshire, Dick lives in Tickhill and TB in Harrogate. Both TB and DW had their business interests in Doncaster employing local people.

I thought it was common knowledge that JR loves his fish n chips from Hyde Park and often calls in on his visits to Donny.

Interesting that the caller, Steve, was just relaying the news from JR that 'something will be happening soon' but then went on to say that he would not welcome the Sequentia deal and wants us to remain in local businessmen's hands.

Whatever 'something' is, we have no idea but I guess we'll get to know in time. Meanwhile, we're back on the road on Saturday with 3 points up for grabs. All we can do is concentrate on the football.

Apparently, English fans rubbing Brazil nuts contributed to our qualification for the World Cup, so may be the best we can do is suck on a Butterscotch in the run up to the game on Saturday !!  Any other suggestions??

Terry Bramall is from Donny, his father started Bramall construction in the 1930's and it was based in Wath. He used to live in the house with the tennis court as you go into sprotborough from cusworth when i was a kid and i went to school with his daughter.

I'm not sure if Bramall lived in the house Adrian Welch lives in now, he might have done. I thought he lived in the park at Sprotbrough. I think he started out in Cadeby. Anyway he is certainly a Donny bloke.

JR certainly likes his fish and chips. I recall chatting with him and Stuart Highfield outside a fish shop just by Leigh RMI's Hilton Park ground many moons ago. JR was having a particularly fine rant about an incompetent referee. Plus ca change...

I think that it was behind Gregory's leather shop in Spring Gardens.
I always enjoyed their food.
Don't think that I ever went in after the early 70s though.
I used to regularly call in at Dorians I think that it was called next to the Saracens.
I remember us all going in there before catching the Yorkshire Traction bus down to the Torquay away game in 1966.
In those days Torquay, Swansea and Gillingham etc. coaches left Waterdale at 11:00 pm on the Friday night for the Saturday game.

Newton's in town was the best at the time. I thought it were rate posh when me mam used to take me for a sit down fish and chip supper. They even had proper knives and forks!!

Dorians was always good for last orders before you got on last bus. Bus used to smell of a mix of vinegar and fags. So romantic when you're getting down and dirty on the back seat after treating your bird to chips and spam fritters!!

Newtons was always a treat after an evening game.

Back in the day Rovers used to play a lot of Friday night games, rather than the Saturday. Bus back into town from OBV, then grub before going home. Even if the footy disappointed, the chips made up for it.

It was always part of the deal for me. I doubt the Rovers bug would have bitten so deep without the snap at the end!

The best one used to be Newton's on the corner like mentioned,Rothwell's over the far side of the market,not the Market place one is a good one,the hot curry is really nice,for me the best one is the one in the market place just round the corner from Bon marche,reasonable prices,really good fish and chips,plus the curry is good,a lot cheaper than Rothwell's in the market place,if your further afield in the Askern area,try Sutton road fish shop near the school,cheap good quality food,if fish and chips are not your thing,the burgers they do are gorgeous and good value,the only draw back to they're fish is the batter isn't crispy,tune in next month for my article on Pizzerias ;)

Newyankee, if you're talking chippys in intake then the lonsdale, or lonny, wins hands down. Think it's gone downhill now though. Used to go in after a game at OBV. Then when I was older would get my post match refreshment at the other lonny.

I have to say that in my part of the midlands we're quite well served for chippies. My regular haunt, the Dovehouse Fish Bar, does a super cod and chips. There's another one across the road from the Greville pub that does a very acceptable cod or haddock with very large portions of chips.

Best fish and chips I had when going to a match were from a splendid chippy just down the road from Darlington's old Feethams ground. I wonder if the chippy survived Darlington's move, because it certainly did brisk business on a matchday!
