Doncaster Rovers vs Plymouth Argyle.

The biggest game of the season, win and promotion is nearly there, and so is the title.  :rtid:

Surely not! Watch it in bar, Plymouth fans are mainly a sociable bunch.  :coat:

I think you'll only have a choice of the Quay club (bad beer) or the Ship for Sky sports in East Looe or there's a wmc on west looe quay that could have it on. Looe is my go to place to feel good being a Kernow/Yorkshire mongrel-enjoy!

And I'll be watching it live here in New Zealand courtesy of "bein sports".
Bit of a bitch being a 2.45 a. m. (here) kick off, but hey, that's what sick days are for surely?
I feel the title is almost ours lads...........

Plymouth beaming the game live for fans at their ground, in Lounge suite.  Again and it has been suggested Hartlepool v Donny.

As I understand that can be done because the game is live on TV. If the Hartlepool game is live then Rovers would be able to show it at the ground.

Personally I hope it won't be live. That would mean something was riding on the game.

Hopefully by then there will be plenty of empty champagne bottles and hangovers cured. The Hartlepool game will just be a final lap of honour! 😉

This is the only game that now matters this weekend. Other teams have done us favours, now we need to go out and win.

Pub sorted here in Looe, Harbour Bar! Advertising it there and the Social club on boards outside.

South Stand for me with my mates.
If we win the game tomorrow it will be 19 clear of fourth with just 21 points maximum available to Stevenage.
It would then be mathematically promotion confirmed with victory at Grimsby.
However, bigger fish to be fried.
If we win tomorrow there will be very little chance of Plymouth, or Portsmouth of course, catching us.
This one is a really big game and judging by how many people I have spoken to who have said they are going, when they don't often, I am expecting a bigger than usual crowd.

It feels like a cup final day. I am so keyed up this morning it's unreal.
I want to win this so much.

Win or lose we still have points in the bag over Plymouth. Win (of course) and we will be uncatchable. Exciting day ahead and will be great atmosphere in the sunshine. Traveling over from Sheffield with 3 mates and in G row on east side.

Even if we lose today we have 7 more games to get the 2 wins (or probably less eventually) that will guarantee promotion and enough points to play for to win the title..

What is also great about today is that we can watch the game without having to constantly check smartphones for the scores in the other games..

Pity the switch was made to Sky and falling on Mother's day. Great weather and a great match in prospect we should be looking at a bumper attendance.

Tommy Rowe remarked that he was looking forward to a full house. He maybe disappointed but, for all those of us that turn up today let's hope we can turn up the noise a notch and make up for our absent friends!

looking like a decent crowd in the East stand.  Couldn't get two seats together higher up than row D, apart from the last block at the North end.

Maybe take that as encouragement to eat less pies?  :silly:

Disappointing result. We move onto Grimsby next Saturday.
