the likes of doncaster....

[Herman Hessian]

...did a quick search on here but didn't see this example quoted; apologies if i missed it:

Not only are West Ham going to sign a real forward, they are going to sign a forward in the form of QPR's Loïc Rémy. Huzzah! Harry Redknapp had been hoping that the prospect of playing Doncaster Rovers and Yeovil Town would be enough to keep Rémy from popping off...

[hoolahoop]

I'm hoping soon that we will be saying the 'likes' of Forest, Wednesday, Leeds etc. in the not too distant future if we can pull this off but tongue in cheek only. 

[scaley back rover]

the likes of put the shitters up other so called bigger sides.

[dknward2]

Would love to see something on the entrances and turnstiles like "welcome to the keepmoat stadium home to the likes of Doncaster"

[scaley back rover]

that would be class

[Mike_F]

It was one of the examples Glen used in the piece he linked t'other day, Herman. Quite remarkable how many examples he found.

I like that, something like the "This is Anfield" sign over the tunnel at Liverpool


Have a sign at the KM either over the tunnel exit or on the back of the away changing room door with the words "We are the likes of Doncaster" just to remind the over paid primadonna`s how low they are stooping to play "The likes of Doncaster"

What a great idea

[dknward2]

That was exactly what I was thinking of the Liverpool sign

[dknward2]

Maybe around the stadium with old pictures next to them with great moments or important ones don't have to be great like with pictures of league table from relegation into the conference with a tag line of look where we were x years ago

what we should have is "welcome, *team name*, look where you were when we slipped into the Conference - have a nice day!" that'd really irk some clubs

[DMnumber4]

A quick 'did you know' section in the programme could go something along the lines of this.

Welcome to today's visitors from 'WHEREVER', did you know your opponents today once competed in the same league as a team called Stalybridge Celtic?

Celtic, based in East Lancashire were formed in etc etc etc.

 

[RobTheRover]

Aye, and the week later.... Leek Town.

[BillyStubbsTears]

A mate of mine is a fan of the likes of Leek Town.

He reckons you're a bunch of condescending t**ts.

[RobTheRover]

Hmmm, I like it.

"The likes of us condescending tw*ts"

[PDX_Rover]

Should be the name of one of the bars...

They've fallen a long way since their Conference days. Evo-Stik Northern Premier First Division South. Playing the likes of Mickleover Sports and Rainworth Miners' Welfare!

Liked the headline on their website, though. Papal visit today!

apologies - the article in the guardian was dated 24/07 so thought it was new...

[ravenrover]

I was driving down to Gatwick on Wednesday evening listening to Talksport, their guest was Sean Derry (who I have no problem with) my question to him was "how do you think your superstar contingent will cope playing at the likes of Doncaster? needless to say I didn't get on the programme!

[not on facebook]

Did leek town not beat donny 0-1 at BV in our conference days?

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Not sure, but I can remember getting beat 1-0 by the mighty Forest Green Rovers and I think that result was probably regarded as the best in their history at that time.

Not sure "condescending t**ts "is the best name.

[Surrey Rover]

Did leek town not beat donny 0-1 at BV in our conference days?

They did Oslo, Christmas 1998 and Dave Penney missed a last minute penalty.

We then got a 1-1 draw at Harrison Park in the return over New Year

[RobTheRover]

Boxing Day wasnt it?

Was Leek Town the ground where they werent bothered about folk having an ale and watching the game?

[3b4eight]

How about "on Day/month/year"

Doncaster Rovers  were playing "???????"

Our visitors were playing "*******"

Who has come the furthest?

Well, the VSC is once again having a page in the programme for each match this year, so this is certainly do-able. 

[VivaRovers]

This seems as good a thread as any to add this, but I mentioned before that we were thinking of getting a 'The Likes Of Doncaster' banner made for the season ahead.

There are three designs up on the popular STAND facebook page now if folk would like to take a look and let us know their thoughts.

If someone can tell me how to reduce the size of an image on here I'll add them here too.

Do you happen to know whatever happened to the guy on that pic?
