Just thought I'd start a thread for evryone to introduce themselves.
Im Daniel Barker and Ive been on the vikingsc for a few years but never really posted much. But now ive decided with the new forum to start posting.
Im 16 years old and just in the middle of my GCSE's, after this im planning to go to college.
I live in Carlton which is a small village near Selby and i live with my mum, dad and older sister, all of us except th sister are STH's.
So thats me done, your turn :)

I'm Andy Thompson, i've been using vikings for 4 years or so, never posted that much though. I'm 27 :-( and can be seen most matchdays at KMS doing bugger all, just poking around with a fork.

Nathan Batchelor
Have various roles within the Doncaster sporting community and lucky enough to be only one of 50 people to have won the FA Workforce Award. Runner-up in the Doncaster sports awards - unsung hero.
Editor of Popular STAND fanzine.
-
Irregular contributer to Pop Stand the wonderful fanzine, still only one pound! (enough advertising Nath?) The only Rovers supporter in the village, or at least I was until the playoff final when one of the old boys here became active after a gap of thirty years or more! Give it another five years I am sure I will be organising a minibus from Barmby Moor for matches, that would be a big thing from the little hamlet in E.Yorks. :-))

Isnt that the home of James Coppinger? :S

I think Copps lives in Fosterhouses

I reckon I would know if Copps lived here! The Boot jungle drums would go mad!

its just i know someone that live in barmby on the marsh and she says she lives next door to him. Oh I've just remembered she told me a few months back that his house was up for sale :) It sounds like my freind is a stalker
-
Deborah Playford, watcher from afar... and I just know I am the only Rovers supporter in the village..
Live in Norfolk on the coast.Mother, grandmother , and all round forum haunter..
Most likely to be found playing off topic, as I don't feel I have the knowledge or right to post too much on the clever side............yet...do read everything tho.
Just know I can't think of many things that match the buzz of actually going to watch Rovers play...well that you can do in a crowd anyway..
looking forward to hopefully getting to more home games next season.
love the fact there is a smiley I can make all my own..:kiss:

Whereabouts in the Isle Of Axholme Mark?
I spent the first 26 years of my life in Epworth. There was always an intense Scunny/ Donny rivalry there, especially in my School Days at South Axholme Comprehensive. You were either a Scunny fan or a Donny fan. We always liked to think the Donny fans were the cooler kids, whilst the Scunny fans were simply forced into it by their Dads!
-
Dave Burkitt, originally from Retford but now living in Sheffield.
Can be found in the East Stand, towards the away end, and at quite a few away matches too.
Also play for the R'Sonists when I can make it, but unfortunately not at Worldnet this year!
-
Hi im Martyn,38 yrs old and live in Wigan.
Been supporting rovers most of my life as born in Armthorpe and me dad a lifelong fan.
Commute home and away most weeks and although its a trak wouldnt miss it for the world!!
Didnt/dont post much due to work commitments but always log on for a nosey!!:P
-
I've been a Rovers fan since 1969- so now approaching 40 years.
I live in Solihull, near Birmingham, as I have done since 1978.
Favourite other activities: history, cricket, sex and drinking- not necessarily in that order.
Favourite player of all time: Peter Kitchen was my boyhood hero. The best player I've seen in a Rovers shirt was Michael McIndoe. The man who gave me my finest Rovers memory was Sir Francis Tierney- closely followed by Sir James Hayter.
-
I'm from Scawthorpe, am 41 and have followed Rovers since 1972 when my dad first took me, and the old bugger still escorts me to games even now! Along with my 8 year old daughter we're all S/T holders in the SE corner. Wasn't much to cheer in the early years apart from a brief spell under Billy Bremner when things got interesting and we had the talented Snodin brothers. Trust me here and now in the Championship is as good as it has ever been while I've followed DRFC.
-
I am Brian, 57 but not for much longer
Born in Swansea and moved to Donny when I was 5.
First game was in 1962 and was hooked.
After Uni went to live in Germany (Aachen) for a couple of years before moving to Holland some 32 years ago. I sometimes use the tagline 'Probably the only Plaid Cymru voting Donny fan living in Leidschendam'
Other interests Squash, Cricket, Real Tennis, Irish Dancing (youngest daughter), languages and numerical analyses - basically a real boring sod.
Favourite all time player - Laurie Sheffield
-
40 something professional Yorkshireman. Born in Conisbrough. Now live in Sheffield.
Foul-mouthed, ale-swilling, non-fool-suffering, egotistical, opinionated argumentative statto.
I have my less attractive side too but you can find that out for yourself.
First watched Donny in 1973. Going to school in Wath in the early 80s, surrounded by Barnsley and Rotherham fans when they were good and we were ba-baa just fixed the love of Donny deeper in my core. It's been a long wait, but it's been worth waiting for.
Favourite player: Alan Little. Because that was how football was supposed to be played before we all got sophisticated.
Favourite manager: Billy Bremner. O'Driscoll has achieved more, but Bremner did it with nothing. Did it twice and damn nearly did it three times.
Favourite match: Chester away in the Conference semis. If you were there, you know why.
Favourite goal: The Duggy bullet header that beat Rotherham in 1985.
Favourite Chairman: Bernie Boldry. I would have said JR but look what a knackers-job Transform did on me teeth.
-
Warby, not even from Donny.
Anyone wants to know, just ask me.
My name is on the back of my shirt, I don't bite!. Cheaswold first then usually East Stand.
-
Hi I'm Bruce or Smeg to my many friends.
I'm currently living in Oswestry training to be a radiographer. I used to have my own business supplying male escorts to discerning ladies in Berkshire. I sold the business to concentrate on my ambition of working in the NHS. I must be mad! :laugh:
I have supported Rovers since 1982 having grew up in Blaxton. Have been recently divorced from Sally, (that wretched woman! :( ) I hope to get to more Rovers matches in the coming season.
My hobbies include Cribbage, Flight simulations and luxury travel.
Rovers Til I Die! :)
-
Smeg?
I once had one of your fridges. It was very nice.

Hey up, Lee here. Been supporting Rovers since 1987 and have suffered the pain like many others have, but it is so nice to see us playing in the 2nd division (old money for the young fans)
As you can probably guess from my username, I like a drink of alcohol and can be found drinking round Bentley - usually The Bay Horse or in the Railway Tavern.
Onwards and upwards

I was from westwoodside, my parents owned one of the village shops (On Commonside just round from the duck pond) I was brought up by my dad to dislike scummy in all of its forms, and yes the rovers kids were the cooler kids :)
I left westwoodside in 1994 after my dad died, been in conisbrough upto april when me and our lass moved to sprotborough.
-
been a supporter since 1968,when I was eight, first game Bradford PA away.
Live in flat tops behind Sun Inn.
Work in Leeds for my sins, but hey what a great time I've had with the locals over the past couple of years.
Alumni of Adwick School (when it was a good one.....:laugh:)
Not really much else to say other than can't wait til August
-
Phil here,
Donny born and bred and now exiled in Newcastle (it's good to be alive up here right now!)
-
Hi, I'm Dave. Born in Balby and moved to Bradford in 1978. My 1st proper game was v Stockport Co. Aug 1958, we won 4-1. Still a season ticket holder and never imagined us getting this far. I've always had respect from fans of other clubc who I've worked with because of my loyalty. It's amazing how many people I know now look for the Rovers results.:laugh:
-
Hi baron, I've got a mate who lives on Yoxhall Rd. I was down there in January. I had my 1st ever balti with him back in the early 90s,
happy days

Hi
My name is Richard Farrer and I live in Cottingham East Yorks, hence the user name. On the old site I was rifarrer586. Glad for the opportunity to change that!Been supporting Rovers for nearly 50 years, but a lot of that in exile. Was on the old site just over a year, didn't post a lot - don't have so much time to spend on the site and most of that is catching up with what everyone else is saying.
RTID
Richard

My brother has lived in the area for some time and was a Toon STH until recently. Haven't rubbed it in yet! Good reason to visit him when Rovers come to St James@!
-
I am the user previously known as StevePSB, 34, Rovers supporter for as long as I can remember.
Born, like all the best people, in DRI, originally from Edlington (New ;) ) - my Dad ran the grocery shop in the block of four shops in Broomhouse Lane in the 70's and 80's. Exiled near Bedworth, Warwickshire (near Coventry for sake of argument), and as a season ticket holder I make the journey up the M69/M1/M18 for every home game. Due to the cost of following Rovers at home and work commitments I don't often get to away matches unfortunately.
Off work since December with serious health problems - at the moment I have no left knee joint (my previous metal joint was recently removed) just a metal 'spacer' in it's place. Awaiting the hospital putting me back together again, and I'm hoping and praying that I'll be fit in time for the new season - it's probably no better than 50/50 that I will at the moment though. :(
-
i am shaggy guyler. probably one of the more interesting characters to haunt this site, i am a young 46, and attended my first game a long time ago when someone called Pat Lally ???? played for us and we lost to Barnsley 1-0................... spent 18 years in RAF, then became a STR, in 1996, and would love us to get relegated back to the conference, just to get another chance to visit the \"Lawn\"..... my favorite other posters are BLIR,RTR,SIF,and a couple of others who tend to be \"off the cuff\"
thats it......................... or is it?????
-
Hi Shaggy, I used to live on Paxton Ave when you were on New Street, I also used to work with your brother Mark in supply at Coningsby Oh I'm Roy Brentnall by the way. Left Donny in 86 to join the RAF, left in 2006 and now living in Norfolk. Many of my family are STH's including Jennyl who is my niece.
-
Jamie 30 years old,born and dragged up in moorends, went to thorne grammar met a barmaid from edlo got her preggers twice live in likeside,first match was against scarborough not sure what year but it was one of the most boring games of my life. I swore never again,most memerable rovers moment has got to be Stoke.
-
Good evenin,
I'm Gary, 30 next week. Born in Chertsey, Surrey. Raised in Hertfordshire via Germany and moved up to Doncaster about nine years ago.
Started my affair with Rovers in the first conference season and never looked back. Good times.
-
Jonathan, as the name suggests. Formerly known as Joncaster Rovers but thought it was high time I ditched the alias.
Born in Donacster, live in Doncaster, Doncaster Rovers is in my family and it's a way of life rather than just a hobby. My first game was probably about 20 years ago but I can't recall it exactly, other than to say I sat in the mainstand with my dad and we were playing in white at the time.
I've been lucky enough to live through the bad times and appreciate the good. I could never have dreamed that we'd achieve so much before I've even seen out my 20's.
I've seen some amazing times already in my young life, but my favourite ever Rovers moment has to be Tristram Whitman's late equaliser in the Conference play off semi final first leg against Chester. That goal was massive and I don't think I've ever celebrated a goal or seen scenes quite like it. Those are the moments you follow football for, there have been many more like it but that one stands out above all others.
Been reading and contributing to the message boards (mainly the VSC and YAURS) since I bought my first PC in 2000 and find it a great place to discuss all things Rovers with similarly obsessed people.
-
Heyup, RedRover45 signing in, previously in another life I was Swinton Rover. Born in Donny, bred in Donny, currently live in Swinton but not for much longer. Coming back to Donny where I can trust people, and probably die in Donny. First game, pre-season friendly v Burnley in August 1970 and been going ever since. Seasoned ground hopper now on 367 grounds including 180 watching Rovers. Avid Rovers programme collector, statistician, and all-round drunken good egg. If you'd like to say hello Im the good looking turnstile operator on Gate 13. If you want to give me a smack, I work on Turnstile 31. Cheers mateys.........

Have you tried the Tradesmen's. That might have room for a foot long like yours. :blush:
-
I'm Chris, aged 32, Rigo reckons i look like Ryan Giggs but i'd say i'm a cross betweeen him and Joe Calzaghe. I'm a right dirty b%$&£@d but i don't have a foot long. First match was in 1985/86 against Bolton. My missus reckons i should go to anger management classes (seriously):angry:
-
Your friendly neighbourhood Leeds fan here, but one of the friendly type.
Born and bred in Donny, left UK when I was 18 and have lived in Germany ever since. Still have a soft spot for Donny and try to get to games when back home.
Am now in my forties and a teacher at a German comprehensive school.
Enjoy good footballing banter, but object to abusing people only because they support a different team.
-
Gold Coast Viking here from Sunny Australia. I have posted previously on rare occasions and also posted on Yaurs before it lost the plot.
Born and raised in Donny and lived on Sandringham Road at Intake before British Ropes sent Dad down under to set up a plant near Sydney.
That was in 69 the year we won the old Div 4 and I was 12 years old.
Love the new format and will attempt to express my opinion a bit more this time around.
I have a lot of time for a number of the posters on here who I have got to know over the years and hope to hear from BobG, Brian Grainger, Bradford Exile and the like as well as the rest of you.
Anyone planning a holiday down under drop me a line.
Cheers
Phil

Hey Up,
Bernard here, Donny born and bred, and until recently worked at Wabtec (plant works) now retired in Scarborough (hence northbayviking) round trip 160 miles for every home game for me and my wife Kath - but well worth it. (in car radio Sheffield runs out at Middleton on the wolds just as SOD is about to whisper somethink:huh:
first game 1957 v Swansea Town
Best player King Alick, followed by Colin Booth, Laurie Sheffield, Kitch, Snods,Macca and most of the current squad!
Big buddies with Sha66y, RoversDave and Rovgers plus lots of others on here that I dont know their true identities!
RTID and lets hope thats a long way off!
-
Newbie who got a christmas present to see home game against Burnley.
Fell in love with everything (oops - sorry too girly)
2 fanzine articles to my credit (March & April)
Hoping we might make the new season (darn credit crunch!!)
-
I'm Mike and I'm not the messiah, I'm a very naughty boy.
Don't believe everything Jonathan says about his \"young life\", he's a couple of months older than me and I'm certainly not young anymore! I am absolutely loving the massive progress this club has made over the last ten years and I'm as proud as I've ever been to say I support Doncaster Rovers.
I was a bit of a latecomer to the Rovers, not getting to my first match until I was 12. A dreary nil-nil draw at home to Shrewsbury was enough to get me hooked for life!
-
I'm Martyn 42 years old, attended my first game in 1970. Live in Highgate (Dearne Valley), work mainly in Derby and Mark your wi-fit age must be at least 141:P .
-
Well, looks like I'm a late comer to this site?
BLIR - Big Lad in Rosso, whatever (or Neil sometimes)
Fairly frequent poster on the old site (irrelevant b*llocks mainly), as I was on Yaurs.
As soon as I get my head round the new format (and it stops being so nice outside) I'll be back into the swing of it - although off to the TT in the Isle of Man on Wednesday so won't be posting much for a while!
Originally a scouser (born in same hospital as Steven Gerrard, Peter Reid and he fat lezza out of the spice girls) have been in Donny since '95 and have been following the Rovers (as a ST holder for the last 7 years) since around then.
Spotted that most of the posters from the old site have made the transition to here, good to see you all and the new faces too!

:) Hi....I'm Ray
Born in Thurnscoe 21 Jan 1944
Lived in Bradford for the last 42 years.
Followed Rovers since 1964/65. First match was agains Brighton I think, remember we were 2-0 down after 1st half but came out 2nd half and got a 2-2 draw.
Favourite player King Alec without a doubt although I wish I had seen him before his two broken legs, I bet he was a titan.
Other sports, Crown Green Bowls although haven't played in a league for many years, likewise Table Tennis. Played in a team that won div 11, div 8, div 6 in succesive years in the Bradford league and were mid table div 4 when the club folded due to lack of playing facilities.
Currently send reports to many Rovers fans all over the world, and am willing to send to anyone else who so wishes.
This has to be the best time in 50 years to be a Rovers fan.
Best game: Reading at home we won 7-5 and my Daughter was mascot of the day. What a fabulous day that was.

Hi everyone, my name's Kyle, lived in Donny all my life, moved from Woodlands to Scawsby when I was 12, still their now at 22 :)
Used to go to a few games with my dad at Belle Vue when I was really young, but stopped going when I stopped enjoying it to be brutal. Was also a Newcastle fan as a youngster.
Started going again when the Keepmoat was opened and thoroughly enjoy it now that we have some decent facilities, it might not be terraced and all the rest of it to please you die hards, but I like the fact I don't have to p*ss in a porta-loo! :D
Managed to get to 20 of the 23 home games last season, and 5 away games I think, I was fortunate that I didn't have to book many off work, but I've recently changed jobs and don't think I'm going to be able to get to as many this season, shame :(
My dad still has the programme from my first Rovers game, against Hull on the 8th of March 1997, apparently it was a crap game. lol.
-
its ok mark but i wasnt quick enough relpying
-
Hi Dearnerover
I was born in Saxon Street (no28) but moved down to Houghton Road when I was about 6. Moved back to Windsor Street when I was 11.
Remember well if you lived at \"top end\" you supported Donny.
If you were unlucky enough to live at \"bottom end\" you supported another set of so & so's.
Regards
Ray

Born on Deightonby but lived on King's street then moved to Garden Street when I was 11. I've lived in Nottingham and Derby since but have moved back home.
At school if I remember correctly there were only 3 Rovers fans, most were Owls and Dingles.
All the Best,
Martyn

Hi Dearnerover
I was born in Saxon Street (no28) but moved down to Houghton Road when I was about 6. Moved back to Windsor Street when I was 11.
Remember well if you lived at \"top end\" you supported Donny.
If you were unlucky enough to live at \"bottom end\" you supported another set of so & so's.
Regards

Sean Northey, live in Gillingham,Kent as the name suggests.Left Gods country(Rosso!) mid 80`s to travel the world, joined the Army instead and saw Germany, NI, Cyprus, Bosnia, bit of our friendly Arab State mates and Ripon! Followed the Rovers from near and far since the early 80`s/late 70`s.

My first post.
Started watching Rovers early 1960's' not sure which game, Colin Booth and Alfie Hale era. I missed a lot of seasons due to lack of money/working Saturdays.
Born in Pontefract, everybody supported Leeds, but my Mam was born in Edlington and my Granny and other relatives lived there so I went to watch Donny and wwas hooked.
Like everyone else I have had stick from the Leeds supporters for many years so the last few seasons have been very sweet.

Hi Idler..where are you in Bradford..by the sound of your title it sounds like Idle village. At the moment I'm in Apperley Bridge

Hi I am Ladyrover I have been a supporter for over 40yrs Ihave been a viewer for sevsral months but never posted before. I love reading posts about first/favourite games especially when a goal or move is described it's like seeing a replay in my head! Favourite players the legend that is Peter Kitchen, Brian Usher,Rod Johnson and Ian Miller, currently Copps snd Brian Stock. I used to work in a school and a boy asked me \"Miss, Brian Stock what is the point? I couldn't answer him until the Swansea game when he didn't play! Now I am a convert!

I'm Andy, 21, student at Sheffield University studying a fun accounting degree.
Well travelled lived in Portsmouth as a baby but mainly Scawsby then Edenthorpe. Also lived in Helensburgh near Glasgow where quite a few footballers of Rangers lived at the time.
Interestingly the day I was born was the day all the world stock markets crashed in 1987 and just a few days after the great storm aswell.
Moving out to Florida in a couple of weeks to work for a mouse for the summer. Least good weather is guaranteed :)

Hi, I am a refugee from the late YAURS and look forward to sharing some of my 'dreams', along with having some help in settling one or two 'arguments' that may crop up.:dry:

I spent a year in Helensburgh myself when i was assigned to a submarine due to an admin error. John Logie Baird was also from Helensburgh, which is ironic because it had the worst fcuking tv signal of any area i have ever lived!
Also, outside the nuclear sub base, there is a protest group called 'plantshare 2000' which regularly demostrates and climbs onto the subs and spraypaints them. It is run by the little girl out of 'chitty, chitty, bang, bang'.

Wayne T, mid 30s. Originally from Rosso, now living in Finningley. Work over in Manchester so my Rovers mini-kit etc can often be seen along the M62 passing Leeds!
Supported Rovers since the early 1980s although those who know me will tell you that I also have a soft spot for Arsenal. Favourite Rovers player of all time was Johnny Muir.
Ex Pop Side at BV, now Season Ticket holder in the South Stand and attend most of the away games. Currently aiming to visit all 92 league grounds, 27 left at the last count.
Apparently, I laugh like Mutley off of Wacky Races, hence the username.
Viewed the VSC site regularly for the last couple of years and posted occasionally as \"Wayno\".

Yep, remember the old peace camp outside the base. Spent two years up there when was Dad was based there. It was his last post of his 22 years. The town itself is too rough though and the locals certainly aren't the friendliest. The schoolkids had a very anti English campaign which caused us no end of problems.

Afternoon all
My name is Craig...and I need a beer...but thats normal.Im 32.
Orginally from Town Moor, now in Cantley. Been a STH for a while, first game was Scarboro at home in the league cup second leg. We won 3-1 and then hardly seem to win again for another ten years!

Hi all,
My name is Paul but everybody calls me Pud! Living in Mexborough at the moment! I'm 23 and have just finished uni to probably end up working in a call centre all my life, the joy! Supported the rovers for about 6/7 years now, before then I despised football and did everything I could to avoid watching, hearing or reading about it. My friends, who are wednesday, United and Rotherham fans kept on telling me Rovers scores as 'at least one of us had to support them' they did eventually stop telling me and I found myself looking for the scores myself, eventually buying a ticket and going...and i've been hooked ever since!
-
Hi all, first time poster on any site but long time reader and of course fan of long standing (first match in the 70's with my dad.) Now I take my kids, although my daughter has just abstained from renewing her season ticket :S:( Lad still goes with me home and most away though. We can be found at the top of the SW under the DRFC flag, Im the gobby one.:woohoo:

Hi Folks
My name is Martin 40 somthing from Tickhill. Been a season ticket holder for 6 or 7 years but supported the boys for well over 30.
Used to tell people that I followed Rovers through thin and thinner - you old boys(and girls - better be politicaly correct!) will understand that. But of lately I fortunatley haven't used that line.
Used to abuse the away manager in main stand at good old Belle Vue but now I'm older and wiser, I sit in the West Stand Morgue
I have watched this forum on the old site for years but thought it was time to contribute so I will dip in and out from time to time when I have something valid to say.
I must say well done to all the guys who have set this new site - Keep up the excellent work
-
Right, having read all the posts on this subject, I reckon I can claim to have one of the longest associations with the Rovers.
My Dad took me to see the Rovers at home to Leeds United. We lost 1-0 that day in the 1956/7 season. I was hooked from that day onwards.
Missed a fair few games due to serving away in the forces but always looked out for the results, and scanned any newspapers that I could get hold of to try and find any smippets of Rovers news.
Even though I'm an exile now down in deepest darkest Essex, I still support the Rovers, going to home and away games whenever I can afford it.
Best game? Seeing us beat Leeds United at Wembley of course, long time coming but oh what a sweet day!!!!!!! :laugh:
I am 58 years old this year

Hi everyone,

My first game was a defeat to Hartlepool in '67 (1-0) .

Hi all i am Keith Myath, AKA Dagnamit AKA HatfieldRover, moved away from Donny now but still renewed my season ticket, in all honesty i aint moved far, Outskirts of Scunny. Had to come to a decision relating to the amount of time i spend watching/travelling to watch Rovers, so im scaling down my away day jaunts to just the local derbies and probably spend alot less time on the forums.

Hi Ray, I moved from Idle village to Undercliffe a couple of years ago. I still get in the Symposium at times for a decent pint of cask ale.
We could always meet up for a pint and a Rovers natter if you feel like it. I've a fair bit of Rovers memorabilia scattered about as well. Our lass keeps reminding me I don't need any more but I keep on buying. I got a load of 40s and 50s handbooks for Christmas but have slowed down since, see you later, Dave

Hi I'm SSTV. Been reading the old forum and Mad for the last couple of years but not contributed much, but liking the new style :laugh:
Live in Tickhill now, but (confession time) grew up supporting Celtic because I was born in Glasgow and my whole family are Tims :cheer: Been following Rovers for the last few years, first game was at BV against Northwich Victoria in 1999 and TBH we were terrible. My mate converted me and we are season ticket holders near the West Stand B Barmy Army.
I'm a psychologist, but dont ask me to read your fecking mind...capiché :P
Oh and I was the only idiot wearing a Celtic shirt in the last home game of the season in support of the green and white hoops :blush:

Known on the forum as Simon Lindsay, 30 Years young. Born in Royal Gwent and lived in Pontnewydd for 3 years. Used to watch Rovers from being 11, with Ranks, Brevett, Ashurst, Jones, Muir & Noteman etc. Best game ever....Paul Malcolm's testimonial as i managed to get Gazza's boots he wore.
I am A Cardiff fan but i do go to More Rovers games due to the distance, enjoy the banter of the away games and also on here.
The VSC forum can take away many hours of your life without realising it....but it's all good.

Dutch Uncle,
I am moving to St.John's, Newfoundland.....Leaving the forces after 12 years. Going to work as a \"Realtor\" if you know anyone that needs help moving pm me if you like. I am sure I can help any friends of Rovers fans and all forces and ex-forces, even if it's just for a bit of advice.
-
Martin
Haven't been to Newfoundland (have seen great pictures) but everywhere I have been in Canada has been great - a wonderful country and very welcoming for us Brits. I am sure you have made a great choice - just those time differences when listening to Rovers matches!
Enjoy!

Alistair, age 39. Visited Belle Vue on and off from 1976, became an avid fan after about '86. Set up the VSC back in 2000 to re-build trust between the fans and the board and finally became a season ticket holder last season when my 7 year old lad asked for one and the wife relented.

Hello
I'm Auntie Merge, I'm a Daggers fan.
I had my heart broken by Donny in two ways -
one by that Golden Goal, and secondly by the Donny fan who snogged me after the game to console me. :ohmy:
My heart has mended and I have keep a good eye on your results, B) cheering when you win, :cheer:
and :( if the result doesn't go your way.
I posted on the other forum from time to time, usually inane comments, :woohoo: and might drop in here too.

You know your welcome just like when I drop into the Daggers forum
-
Thanks hun. :kiss: I haven't made any Donny games for three years now, hopefully I'll make some this coming season. :)

about time you came from the darkside then :)
Hows the new stand coming on

They are into week two according to the offical website and have demolished and flattened the away terrace. There are pictures on the official site http://www.daggers.co.uk which hopefully will be updated on a weekly basis.

Fond memories of Conference Guide, Hoagy, Andrew Page (is he still around) and your good self
And Stoke - there but for the Grace of Sir Francis go we.....
Mind you Daggers are doing pretty well - pity about missing the play-offs on the last day
Good luck for the coming season and hope to hear from you regularly

Yeah, worked in MSF at Lossie, only for a year though before a big move to Kinloss!

LOL Ant Page... I think he has resigned himself to the conference south board along with Woking. Hoagy is still around... You guys are missed on the forum. Every now and then there will be a quip that 'it isn't funny now the Donny fans have left'
http://www.conferenceforum.co.uk/cboard.mpl is where you'll find it. Plus Bifmag is back too.
Yes, shame about the playoffs but I don't think my nerves could have taken it. That day at the Brittania Stadium I realised why so many football managers have heart attacks - my body was fit to explode with all the stress. Hopefully this season we will get promotion to League One properly by winning all our games 6-0. ;o)

Alan Roberts,
34 years old, former (good quality) long distance runner and (steady, unspectacular but solid, reliable) goalkeeper. Have been a teacher for 11 years and am currently an Assistant Head Teacher at a local Junior School. Been going to Rovers since I was 8, spent the third division championship season in Australia so mised it all! Bugger, but bizarrely don't regret that, something strangely satisfying about basking in glory on t'other side o't'world in fantastic weather. I'm currently living in Cusworth with my good lady and her kids and hold the prestigious position of Vice Chairman at Doncaster Little Theatre!
-
I'm another Allan (no relation to Al4475)
Been going for far too many of my 34 years. Now living in Manchester.
My solitary claim to Rovers fame is that I was the editor of Keegan Was Crap Really.
By some strange coincidence we've got a Daggers fan at our Oldham branch. He's twice my size and he recently told me he was going to lamp me the first time he saw me in my Rovers jacket! Top lad.

Dave, obviously, born in Thorne lived in Edo for last 22 years. First game 1968, known for taking endless photos where ever I go.:lol:

Hi all. Currently live in Chesterfield, and work in Sheffield but attend all the Rovers home games sitting in the west stand. I was brought up in Donny and went to Park Primary School, Wheatley Hills High School, and then managed to escape there at 13 to go to Danum Grammar.
My first game at Belle Vue was in 1966 and used to stand under the old cowshed or sometimes live it up by going in the wooden stand behind the goal at the town end. How we never got burnt to death I will never know with the amount of people who used to smoke in it, oh how times have changed.
Over the past 40 years seen so many good, and bad (plenty of bad) come and go. We all crave for a quick forward but I remember Peter Kitchen, fast he was not, but my goodness he knew where the net was.
Lets all enjoy the good times that we now see and lets put our faith in the management team who have delivered success to this club beyond anything we have seen before.
Looking forward to a great season
Rovers till I die

Hi, I'm Phil Camm, originally from Carcroft. I've been reading the forums for years now but this is my first post. I moved down here in '97 due to Dupont closing (ex ICI). Until then I'd been an every now and then supporter but things changed about then. We now try to get to as many games as possible and can't believe the progress we've made in 12 years. Well done John Ryan.

Hi, I'm Mary. Been watching Rovers since 10th April 2004 when we beat Bristol Rovers 2-1. Had hated footie with a passion until then, that being the first \"live\" match I'd ever seen, (and only saw that match because was on way to Plymouth to see my son and we stayed over in Bristol for hubby and grandson to see the match). Now totally hooked on Rovers and will also watch telly footie too, always hoping Manure will lose!:ohmy: Get to most home games and have managed nearby away games due to work hours but now have Saturday's off so can get to more away games. Grandson been mascot twice at away games. Favorite player is Copps. Best game.... Wembley of course!:woohoo:

I'm funnily enough called Martyn, formerly matelot martyn on the old site. I've followed the Rovers since 1980/81. I've fond memories of the Bremner years and running onto the pitch after promotion.
I'm 40 years old and a season ticket holder for the last 2 seasons in the SW corner. I've recently left the Navy having followed many of the league one season matches via bbc sport in the middle of the Indian Ocean. I've settled into civvy street now am and looking forward to the new season ahead.[/i][/b]

Hi, I'm Tom, aged 59 and a fan since 1963. Balby boy, Plant Works apprentice fitter, NCB fitter, minor NUM official, labourer, debt collector, taxi driver, writer, historian, university lecturer, museum director, and a 21-year exile. Left Donny in 1988, and have lived in New England since. When I first left, I listened to the football results on BBC World Service on short wave, and my mates mailed me the Green 'Un -- and now, it's a media extravaganza, and it's so easy to follow the club I love from afar.
Belle Vue will always be in my heart, and probably explains why I dislike the Keepmoat Stadium so much. It has no character, nor atmosphere, and is very uncomfortable.
I get back once a year, and plan visits around the fixture list. Although a Third and Fourth Division club for all the time I supported them when in England, we had many special players like Laurie Sheffield, Chris Rabjohn, Terry Curran, Alan Little, and Tommy Gaynor. However, the most technically gifted player I've ever seen is James Coppinger. I'm so proud of my club! They are back where they belong.
-
Hi Alonzo/Tom and good to see you again - I was just beginning to worry you weren't joining us - need all the oldtimers we can get and since you are at least 12 months older than me you qualify :laugh:
I also followed Rovers on World Service short wave for many years - I would mysteriously disappear at 17:59 on a Saturday (1 hour time difference) and reappear 20 minutes later! I also had The 'Green un' sent on - in fact my father kept on sending it long after 'tinterweb arrived.
Did you have any connection with Alonzo Drake or did you just like the name?
Cheers

Hi Mark from Pontefract, age 45, work for myself and guested this site and yaurs since the conf days and thought it was about time I showed my face.
felt a bit guilty about the 'voyeuristic' nature of looking at other peoples conversations without being seen, bit like listening at the door.
First Rovers game was Huddersfield 2v0 in about 76ish, cannonball O'Callaghan header was my first goal. Forcefed the Rovers to my two daughters (which has been easy in past few fantastic years and stadiums) who are now mad fans and all STH in south west corner, after family and rovers and coaching my daughters football team, Half Man Half Biscuit are my bit on the side
-
Hi I'm Andrew. I'm almost 44 you know. I'm a self-employed decorator born & bred in Harrogate, no connections with Donny at all. My Grandad was a mad fan, and he introduced me to Rovers in April 1972. He died in 1976 and I vowed to give my heart to Donny, plus I had a hero in Peter Kitchen. I had a season ticket for Sammy Chungs 2 seasons, but having kids put paid to that. Ben, my youngest was introduced to Belle Vue on a windy day in April 2004 when we played Darlo, in our title season. He was hooked straight away. this season will be our 5th as ST holders (West Stand opposite penalty spot).
Only posted now and then on the old forum, usually Harrogate related, but nose around most days.

Hi, I am Richard, born in Doncaster in 1959, went to school with the 'legend' that is Jeremy Clarkson, he was my best friend,and I was on This is Your Life with him in 1998.
Brought up during the Colin Clish, Stan Brookes, Mike Elwiss, Terry Curran era, worshipped Big Bren and Peter Kitchen. Most memorable game - . Went to Anfield, 2-2 draw with Liverpool, could not attend replay as at school, 2pm kick-off midweek!
Moved to Peterborough and attend more away games than home, with my daughter, who is 14. 'Over the moon' with how we have performed and the style of our play. I love all our players and I am spreading the Gospel that is DRFC. Enjoyed Millenium Stadium and Wembley.
I am already looking forward to Watford away and my daughter wants to go to Middlesborough away on her birthday, so I suppose I will have to take her. (what a shame!!!)
I live and breathe DRFC, if we lose I am quiet and sad, if we win I am happy and bouncey. Thanks to John Ryan I am often the latter, he is a true hero.

Hello,
I am joe from Newtown in County Wicklow ,Ireland.
Been involved with amatuer football for over x years.
52 years old today. Coached Newtown Juliors/Albion for
9 years.Went from Wicklow league,to South Dublin,to the
DDSL,Dublin and District Schoolboys League.The largest
schoolboy league in Europe.Reached the Premier league at
Under 16 and survived, just about in a relegation playoff.
It was a fabulous journey for all concerned,seeing the boys
grow up and mature into not only into good footballers but good
men.We had to part company with a few along the way but they are still friends of
mine and of their former team mates and thats what matters.
Lost a colleague and former manager when he fell to his
death when working on a roof.His name was Phelim Lynch
and he loved the team as much as anyone.It was a sad and
sudden loss.Life goes on and we are all doing our own things
now, but we all shared in a great journey, and it is still
going on. Doncaster Rovers has someone who is special to
us playing for them.We delight in his achievements and Doncater Rovers triumps.
Long live the Dream. Regards Joe. :P

Hi Mark from Pontefract, age 45, work for myself and guested this site and yaurs since the conf days and thought it was about time I showed my face.
felt a bit guilty about the 'voyeuristic' nature of looking at other peoples conversations without being seen, bit like listening at the door.
First Rovers game was Huddersfield 2v0 in about 76ish, cannonball O'Callaghan header was my first goal. Forcefed the Rovers to my two daughters (which has been easy in past few fantastic years and stadiums) who are now mad fans and all STH in south west corner, after family and rovers and coaching my daughters football team, Half Man Half Biscuit are my bit on the side
Think I was in queue with you (in front of) for Wembley tickets.
It was worth it though haha :laugh:

Could you have a word with Jeremy and tell him to stop being such a prat? When it suits he seems quite proud of his Donny roots but he is just as likely to have a dig and what has he got against the Rovers and while we're at it what is all this Chelsea nonsense?

James Edward Hayter.
Bournemouth
After progressing through the youth system with south coast club Bournemouth, i made my official début for them in the 1996–97 season in a 3–1 Division Two defeat to Peterborough United. Despite a promising start, i failed to gain a first team place and moved to Salisbury City on loan.
My performances there earned me a recall to Bournemouth from manager Mel Machin, and in October 2000 i equaled the club record for the number of goals scored in a match when i scored 4 against Bury.I was soon established as one of the most consistent and sought-after strikers outside the Premier League, and the proudest moment of my Bournemouth career came in May 2003 when i helped them achieve victory over Lincoln City in the Division Three playoff final.
On 24 February 2004, i came on as an 84th minute substitute while Bournemouth were 3–0 up at home to Wrexham and scored the fastest Football League hat-trick ever in less than 140 seconds, beating the record set by Jimmy Scarth of Gillingham in 1952. My parents were at the match but missed my hat-trick as they had to leave early to get the last ferry back to the Isle of Wight.
I finished as Bournemouth's top scorer for the 2005–06 season, with 22 goals to my name, which proved vital in saving them from relegation. While struggling to score for Bournemouth in the 2006–07 season, i was a vital part of their first-team and scored twice against Oldham Athletic (3–2 win), the winner at Chesterfield (1–0) and one in the 5–0 win against Leyton Orient.
Doncaster Rovers
On 30 May 2007, I signed for Doncaster Rovers for a club record transfer fee of £200,000. I was Sean O'Driscoll's first signing as Doncaster boss.[1]
I powered Doncaster Rovers into the Championship, on 25 May 2008, with a 47th minute stooping header that proved the only goal in the 2008 League One play-off final, against Leeds United.[2]
After Rovers' promotion to the Championship, i struggled to find the net at the start of the 2008/9 season, but Rovers continued to show faith in me, until an injury kept me out until March 2009. I started to find form on my return to the side, scoring my first goal of the season in narrow 2-1 defeat to Watford on April 4th 2009. I then scored another 3 goals in the 2008/9 season against Ipswich Town, Plymouth Argyle and Crystal Palace, taking my goal tally for the season to 4.
So now you know all about me.

Names Kev ,Stud to my mates i hear voices and sometimes get kicked off foruums for saying inappropriate stuff about politics ,sex and that.But the rovers keep me sane in my twilight years until my numbers come up and i can buy out rovers and declare a socialist republic of south yorkshire with conisbrough as its capital.At 50, i have just been through my male menapause and started watching rovers again after a 20 year break.Best player Peter Kitchen .Best manger Stan Anderson .Went to school in Wath eclipsed by dingles which is why i started watching rovers.Stopped going because i had to pay in as i couldnt get over fence anymore so it was a choice between footy and beer.Not muched changed as Leeds are still poaching our fans .What has changed is the atmosphere and culture as you can now go to a footy match without getting your head kicked in for living on the wrong side of town.Mainly by youth from Rosso mob handed who used to hang out in the local bus station waiting for there victims.I ask you how can you build an international force for change when folk within a geagraphical location of 5 mile cant get on .Bet Trosky wasnt from Rosso .Ah those were the days Sorry got to go missing coronation street.

Hello to all, Im James Perkins and I'm 20. Rovers fan since the year before we got promoted from the confrence. I've been a season ticket holder since that start of the Division 3 title winning season, and really have only enjoyed the high life of promotions and JPT final, there has been the odd awful games but nothing compared to the downfalls of previous generations. Love watching the rovers, wish the attendances would be bigger, with a better atmosphere but apart from that, happy with the way the club is run. I would like to go more away games, but can afford so many a season, unfortunately other things take priority. Looking foreward to another season in the Championship next year!

I’d like to make contact with your forum on behalf of Reading’s “Royals Rendezvous” forum, for which I’m a moderator (please don’t lynch me!). We already have good relations with FuzzyDuck, who’s helped us on our matches together with a lot of good info on our site. We come ‘in peace’, you’re guaranteed nothing of wind-ups, and already have excellent relations with teams from the majority of Championship clubs, and from clubs in other leagues. We invite fans from other clubs to participate in our “Rivals, but Friends” section of the site as guests, but before saying more I’d like to just sound you out that there’s no problem in giving a couple of links … usually the answer has been positive, but we have had just a couple of unfortunate moments on two sites where we’ve been considered Spam!

David,
We are more than happy to welcome opposition supporters onto our site for friendly (and sometimes \"slightly barbed\") banter. We take people as we find them, for example, Leeds fans are pure evil! ;-)
Feel free to provide a link to your site, and we will add it to our links section too.
RTR
-
Just to add re Royals......there are a few Berks based Rovers fans on the VSC forum too.....including yours truly ( VSC Chairman) and my good mate Steve ( VSC Treasurer )....so makes for some good local banter!
Look forward to your 'input'....
Can we come up to donny on your supporters bus :)
-
Many thanks, and don’t worry a bit about our fans; we get comments that they’re almost too tame! Agreed that Leeds fans won’t feel happy until they regain the big time, but in my personal opinion the LUFC Talk seems by far the best of their forums…
So, to Royals Rendezvous, and our site is here: http://www.royalsrendezvous.co.uk The initial core group of 50 came from the old BBC 606 service in 2010 some 6 months before the closure was announced. We’re over five times that a year later and fast growing.
We do invite banter/chat back - you are all presently able to contribute to post in our open section “Rivals, but Friends”, http://royalsrendezvous.co.uk/forum/3832070 and even start article topics as a guest (language decency though please). Viking Chat has just been added to our ‘Forums’ section there as well. Also to say that all our large Match Threads are produced with detailed information produced equally for both sets of fans, and thanks again to FuzzyDuck for great banter already.
For Gartom, maybe you might have a quick browse at the RR Guide for Away fans, and any suggestions to improve it gratefully received!
I hope that I may contribute occasionally on here with sensible comments, including of course for our forthcoming game, and with fullest respect shown to you guys.

In my opinion, simply cos he was too lightweight.
Only really became an issue in his second season when we got "found out".

I've lived in Bradford since 1977 but still watch the Rovers although the drive is getting to be a ball ache. It wasn't a great drive home after losing to City.

Ill go next then... bring this thread back from the dead.
20 years young! Proud dad to a 6 week old little boy, originally from Balby as my username suggests but moved out this year to Dunscroft/Hatfield. Much prefer it.
Been going Rovers since about 2001 I think but can't be certain on the date.. don't get to as many games as i would like too nowadays but I'm sure that'll change. Especially as my boy gets old enough.
