Title: 140th Birthday Party
Post by: bobjimwilly on May 22, 2019, 10:28:45 pm
Do we know if the club has anything planned to mark 140 years of Doncaster Rovers FC in September?

Well doesn’t time fly. It’s a pity the old tv program “This is your Life” isn’t still going it would have made interesting viewing .

Given the Black Friday offer for Season Tickets was £140 and that number has figured in club literature over the past few months, I’m guessing they might have...

It probably won’t be a birthday cake with 140 candles though as ‘Elf & Safety’ would have kittens!
Good job it's not Charltons EnS

I am starting to feel freakish about wondering what I can do to help my club rather than seeking that which the club can do for me !

I meant for 1 game. Maybe the first home game?

More people are likely to turn out to that one as it is, so I'd do something like that a little bit further into the season. It's a great idea though, if marketed correctly.

Can see it now....

Tifo (140) in the South stand, Happy birthday banners held high instead of scarves, party hats, party blowers, party poppers (when players come out the tunnel) and belting out the ‘happy birthday’ song..

Imagine haha
