Play off semi final in their small stadium and there are empty seats in the home end!
-
6,900 scunny fans, terrible
-
Tinpot
-
Lads there were 2000 empty seats when we played Southend in the play off semis at the Keepmoat.
Glass houses come to mind.

Cracking comment by the MOTM Ryan Williams, a proper Yorkshire derby..... sorry Ryan you seem to be a little geographically challenged Scunny is Lincolnshire or at a push South Humberside

Less than 5000 Scunny. Attendance 6591 including 1601 from Rotherham.

He also made the comment that he'd have taken "a point" if offered it before the game. Think someone ought to let him know the season has finished.

In a far bigger stadium, they should be filling the bus shelters
-
Doesn't matter how many are in the stand it's the 11 blokes on the pitch who count.

Not really. It's a very small town thst isn't particularly well off either.
-
Nowt else to do in Scunny though is there?
-
very small town, but they made the play offs. despite empty seats, think we are a bit jealous
-
Well Rotherham have banged on about how well supported they are. The return leg they made less tickets available for Scunthorpe however they couldn’t sell them and have given them more
-
When it comes to crowds to population of the town we are hands down probably one the worst in the football league
-
Scunthorpe's home gates attract a higher percentage of its population that mighty L**ds does.

Not really. There’s a misconception about the borough population and the towns actual population. Based on the ‘urban area’ population we are probably higher than most

You can use population figures to suit an argument. The fact is Doncaster MBC population is 303.000
The urban area is less than 1/3 of that figure.
As far as I am concerned outlying areas to the North, East, South & West such as Askern, Thorne, Bawtry & Conisborough etc etc etc are all part of Doncaster.

What about Campsall?😉
-
Not enough people live in Campsall to matter. Even Wikipedia doesn't list any number. LOL
-
Genuinely didn't even know the place existed until Campsall rover started posting and even then I had no idea it was near or a part of Doncaster... :laugh:
-
Tinpot? I'm sure the kids of abroad are always arguing in the streets over the prospects of the clubs they support, be it Man Utd, Liverpool, Chelsea, Barcelona, Real Madrid or Donny Rovers. Face it, we're all tinpot according to many of the fans of the big clubs. I've never got this talk over how many fans come up to watch. It's only shared experience; footy would be boring if based on attendances.

Included in the Askern region.
Population of Campsall must be over 2,000 now.

I haven't lived in Donny for the past 40-odd years but I have fond memories of the Old Bells at Campsall during my courting days as a teenager.
Is the pub still going I wonder?
-
The Old Bell an the Annie's Arms at Sutton were both nice pubs back in the day.
-

Campsall, like Askern, lives in the shadow of Bentley.

Absolutely right Idler, Anne's Arms was my other favourite.
-
Scunny's attendances are never amazing anyway.
In some midweek games they don't even get into the 4,000s.
Thankfully though, attendances don't mean that much in relation to what happens on the pitch. If they did, Leeds United wouldn't have spent the last 14 seasons outside the Premier League.
And here's you boosting Rotherhams.
Photo of you on Facebook doing the rounds at the moment in the home end at Rotherham last night.

The urban area doesn't include Bentley and that certainly is in Doncaster

Give me strength!! How people know so little about there home town is embarrassing

Which lives in the shadow of Arksey 😊 or De Mulders....... is it still on the go guarantee I would end up behind one of there lorries going in with a full load, juice dripping out the back - lovely!

Didn't Graham Rix come from Campsall?
-
The Belles at Campsall has been shut for quite some time, Anne's Arms at Sutton is still doing well and does good food if anyone is interested.
B.B. I have always felt for people from Bentley, having the cross to bear of living near the prettiest little village in England that is Askern.

Well I'm from the opposite side of town and Campsall is quite a way away from the town itself so... probably being a bit dramatic aren't you?

Is there another Askern I haven't seen? As "pretty"and "Askern" shouldn't be in the same sentence

Never been there in my entire life. Would honestly struggle to put it at right end of Donny.
