6 1/2 hours Plymouth to Leeds on that Sunday by train! That's some stint.

I'd have thought they would travel on the Saturday and stay locally.

but it is a Sunday and I will have been to church. I will not be able to swear at that goalkeeper :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:
-
another game were we will miss out on crowd numbers.
-
Wouldn't that happen whenever we are on the telly with visiting fans having to travel a fair distance?
By then hopefully we will still be where we are in the table, and looking for 3 points against a promotion rival. Nothing beats being there, and it should be a few degrees warmer than last Thursday!

The Vicar should grant you special dispensation in this case.

BUT ..... I am sure those wishing to do so (after Copps got sent off) there will be a great opportunity to "expose" their Keeper to some lets call it "banter"
Any Banners around the Ground would be easy for Sky to ignore but surely the TV would deffo pick up any Black Bank chanting on the Day ?
I am on record elsewhere on this Forum saying their Keeper has done his punishment as per our Judicial system and as such has "paid his dues to society " so I am NOT advocating a witch hunt here but others I know from that Thread see his "crime" in a different way to me (Just saying)

No messin' with you is there Wolfie :boxing:

I have just had 2 draft "Blue Moons" and at my age I should know better to post when I have had a couple !
However I do think their Keeper has served his time (as per the other Thread which massively pre date this one) and is why I posted the last paragraph* (see below) to show I was not inciting anyone. Bally is "out" due to going to Mass before the game but others may wish to "banter"

Hmmmm wonder if her in doors would like to to take in a game that day?
COYR

On TV between Courses no doubt !
Do maybe 4 Courses then have a break of 90 mins then restart and do another 5 Courses ? Just a suggestion
-
I wouldn't particularly go at him about the driving incident. Let's face it, we wouldn't be talking about it if it wasn't for his behaviour at Plymouth the other week.
And yes, it would be poetic justice if Copps or Mandeville made him look a mug.
-
So, just got to find a pub in Exeter which is showing the match, on Mother's Day.
-
I think it is beyond reasonable doubt that the keeper will get plenty of stick about the driving incident.

i agree, putting a few past him would be the perfect reply, when we played them he acted like a P***k, lets make him pay.
-
I too am SURE there will be a reaction. You only have to read the Thread after the Keeper had (lets call it) bantered with or gloated at Liam M to gauge the depth of feeling amongst our Fans to kmow he will get a certain amount of "banter" in return
-
To be fair, he will have earned it Wolfe.
-
Theres 2 months to get this game marketed, a concerted effort to get bums on seats should be made for this one without a doubt
-
Get in!!! I'm back from Amsterdam that morning! Woo hoooo!
-
Totally agree with Filo here ... get as many offers going for this game as possible, get tickets handed out in the schools and local schemes, perfect opportunity to get new folk in the ground.
-
Just realised that this clashes with the England v Lithuania qualifier at Wembley. Although that might not affect too many DRFC supporters it will deter the floating football fan from attending the Keepmoat.

Could the England game be shown on tv on the concourse and in the bars after the game? Might drag in a few armchair fans or ones who will watch England in the pub?
-
We have tickets for the England game :) :( :ohmy:
-
There has to be a well publicised early offer for this. To see less than 5000 home fans on sky again for a top of the table clash would be embarrassing

I 100% agree with you on this. Even if we need to be giving tickets away. We had the excuse of Thursday night/just after Xmas/freezing cold for the Portsmouth game but a similar turnout will be terrible.
I notice Oldham did a deal recently of buy a ticket for a game and get a free ticket for the next.
Maybe we could try that with the free ticket for Plymouth? and accept any money lost on tickets will be made up with TV money?

If we can't drum up interest for this one, then we might as well never bother again.
Interesting to see Mansfield taking over 3500 to Notts County last week. I'd love to see the day we take that many to an away game again. Just proves it can be done, no matter what your fan base.

WAs it not more than they got at their previous home game?
Interesting ish that grimsby's home crowds haven't exactly been great despite the 4k they brought here.
Bad news clashing with an England game though I have to say.
-
There are two issues here IMHO...
The match itself - at the moment two leading promotion contenders going head to head in the latter stages of the season. That itself should be an attractive option regardless of ticket offers or promotions. Anyone with a slightest interest in Rovers, or even neutrals, will know how the table sits and what they may expect from this game. OK it may be a different table in a few weeks and in a couple of months when the game arrives, but now this is a fixture to look forward to.
Therefore in that respect the game is self-promoting, or doesn't require any more marketing than any other fixture - we are discussing this now when it is 9 weeks away!
The second issue is about offers. I agree this is an ideal fixture to have a ticket promotion, especially to counter the TV coverage. I agree if there is to be such, then that needs promoting.
-
I'll get to 3 games only this season; Cheltenham, Nottingham County and Leyton Orient...back just before the Plymouth game. At least I'll get to watch another online too now :)

And in future you will be able to do this all the time, maybe as early as next season.

In what way is it embarrassing? To who? Who gives a shit what it looks like in the ground to people watching on television?
-
Agree with the general consensus that it shouldn't need promoting, but it's a wasted opportunity if it isn't.
What I would suggest is that anyone who buys a ticket for either the Cheltenham or Notts County game, gets an identical ticket free for the Plymouth game, be it adult, concession or child. This should promote an increase in attendance at either the Cheltenham/Notts game and would definitely increase the Plymouth attendance. Also, for season ticket holders let them use one of the vouchers at the back to fetch a friend for free. All empty seats are a lost revenue so anything it will cost the club would be recouped on TV money and extra sales on refreshments and programmes etc. Hardly anything to lose and a lot more to gain I would suggest.

Is there a change coming? Able to stream games by club soon?

In your opinion.
-
Irrespective of the attendance and what the ground might look like on telly, it is what goes on on the pitch that counts, isn't it??

Yes, there's a FL project whose name escapes me, but reading my notes from the last meeting I wrote down the 'ability to stream overseas'. The current contract with their existing supplier expires in 2017 so I'm assuming the new supplier has this as part of their commitment, an upgrade on Rovers Player if you like.

Aye, I'd be much more embarrassed if we were walloped 4-0 than if someone half watching from their front room in Nuneaton occasionally got glimpses of red plastic.
-
He's always being embarrassed by being a Rovers fan. Should follow one of the several Massive club so that he doesn't need to feel embarrassed.

It's probably just over 12 miles from Mansfield to Notts County, and it has a direct bus link it's just like playing a home game!

Not too dissimilar to us with Barnsley then

That would be brilliant!!
-
Our attendance looks worse on TV as the main camera is a bit like Berlin used to be: in the West looking at the desolate East.
-
I thought those in "our" East were the fortunate ones with Prawn Sarnies etc - whereas in the West we have only Pies that a) you cant buy cos the queues are too long and b) you DEFFO cant win !

I've never been that side, unknown territory

To date, Doncaster have been lucky with their injuries and suspensions.
I don't see them maintaining the same degree of dominance that they are currently doing.
Argyle
Carlisle
Doncaster
Barnet to play Pompey at Wembley to win the play-offs.
-
Despite the fact that we had a load of injuries before the season even began? :laugh:
-
.... and how can a Team be lucky with suspensions ? If a player persistently fouls (except Ander Herrera of course) or gobs off all the time (except Rooney of course) they deservedly get Cards which turn to Red or tot up to a ban.
I cant see how you can be lucky with suspensions unless you clog people and rack up Cards just before they reach an amnesty
I can see how you can be lucky WITH suspensions if you dont get done when you should - examples above plus Plymouths own Keeper who should have had a yellow at the very least for lording it over Liam Manderville after his Penalty miss

Looks ok but the sun (when out) always seems to be a problem ?
-
I was there the first half-season after it opened.
We were in the back row in front of the boxes.
No leg room, hard to get out and as Wolfy says the sun was a right pain.
-
I normally get one of the back seats towards the corner near the south, never had a problem with the sun there, used to have a season ticket in the south at the back as well
-
West is best :woohoo:

We were about midway between the away fans and the half way line.
The winter sun was always in my eyes when it was out.
-
Isnt it the East Stand that can be expanded, not saying we will ever need to, but sounds like that would cause a problem if a second tier was built on the East stand.
-
I remember seeing a mock up of the East with a small second tier on top.
Am I right in thinking the South Stand can be extended as well?
-
Any part of the Keepmoat can be extended depending on if they choose to do it. There is no specific provision in the design for expansion and no, there are no extra piles sunk in to the ground to cater for future expansion.
In the original design with the floating roof, simular to the KC at Hull, there would have been two tiers on the East Side with provision for two tiers on the West should it be required in future.
During time of the delay caused by the survey for the Great Crested Newts, steel prices had increased which meant the original design was beyond the budget agreed by the council.
That's why we are in the toned down design KM we are in today.

West is best :woohoo:
Colin Sutherland didn't agree with you... :laugh:
