Copps Legend Game - 2500 sold so far??

[rtid88]

Knottingley Rover I understand that some people can't make it due to the amount of tickets they would have to buy, I am taking my 2 daughters and myself and my fiancee are going and no it wasn't cheap but I just simply would not miss it for the world! What I am saying is that I can't believe of the amount of fans we have had over the years young and old from around the country that only 2,500 fans can make it! I am also saying that at this point to get more fans coming I genuinely couldn't care that if they r were giving tickets out for free now (which obviously won't happen!!!) because I feel that the players that are making the effort to play in this game and have given us many good times as well as some bad deserve to have a good atmosphere and a good reception! Unfortunately I don't think this will now happen!

[adsrover]

  I am looking more forward to Sunday than Saturday, After      the rubbish we have been dished up this year.

[Askern_reds]

f**k me adsrover stop banging on how shite we've been will Ya and the rest who agree with him, you don't like it why? How long you been going drfc, said it loads of times you been spoilt and don't like it when we come down to earth, we avnt got a big fan base but wouldn't mind seeing the back of your type, how many games you been this season to coment every one? Just home games or traveld far and wide like some of us, don't like it feel free

[rtid88]

Are u going on Sunday Askern?

[adsrover]

   

  A lot longer than you Askern you can be sure.

[Askern_reds]

y ask? Don't u think I aprerciate what this lad as done? but I also feel the same about many other players who I think av done the same, to be honest a proper testimonial against one of dickoves old clubs would have been better like Man City were cops takes all reciepts

[Askern_reds]

were you traveld like? don't want to argue with you but surely if you been going that long you can't disagree we've hit the heights with what we can aciheve were not a big club, when were so poor under mcmenmy, setters bet you still went like me , only difference is I don't moan, I still love going few sherbets with the lads a good laugh what more can u ask for

[hoolahoop]

I have to admit that I would love to have seen this be a superb event but the pricing looked ridiculously high from the beginning.
It's such a shame that , just like JR/LT's harebrained idea, the lesson of overpricing wasn't learnt

Copps deserves better but the committee have 1) Massively over estimated the One Direction factor, 2) Under-delivered in terms of those starring in the event ( see King Alick's testimonial above ) and 3)  Massively overpriced an event of this kind. Alex Ferguson's event cost £18 - 24 for an adult (55,000 rolled up on the day) . This was for the testimonial of what some see as GB's greatest manager at GB's biggest club. Now like him or loathe him AF attracted the cream of English and International footballers to this match...that is a fair comparison. Certainly not one I would like to see but a 'fair' comparison.
Supporters won't be able to see the likes of Careca, Vialli, Cantona, Beckham, Weah etc.  at the game on Sunday.

[rtid88]

So Hoola ur simply not going to the event out of principle because you think the price is too high??

[rtid88]

What other Donny Legend that Copps has played with would you have had??

[knockers]

Keegan can't be playing, can he?

[idler]

They ought to have someone going round the car boot tomorrow morning advertising it as well.
It might possibly bring a few more in if it's a nice day.

[The Red Baron]

It I was able to be there tomorrow I would be. Hope there is a decent walk up on the day.

[POD]

It I was able to be there tomorrow I would be. Hope there is a decent walk up on the day.

Isn't Copps having another testimonial against Middlesborough at the start of next season?

Perhaps many fans are waiting for this one when the admission price will hopefully be more reasonable?

[Bristol Red Rover]

I'd definitely go if I was in or near Donny. I'd prefer this to a league game. It's likely to be a fun day day out with some heart warming moments.

Don't go, you won't be missed.

[Sammy Chung was King]

If the game attracts around three thousand, that's not a bad crowd when we have been getting around the six thousand mark for league games.
It's still a lot of money achieved for charity, i do think the price is a little high but if you can afford to go you go, if you can't you can't, our fan base has grown over the years, give it time to grow a bit more.

It's frankly ludicrous to compare this to Ferguson's game. The players playing aren't legends of the game but they are legends in the Doncaster Rovers story of the last decade. I for one would far rather see Doolan and Blundell play than any of the names you mentioned with whom I have no emotional attachment whatsoever.

[rtid88]

Well said Nick!!

[Al4475]

I'm going - and I think it's gonna be ace! I'm gonna have to leave on about 70 mins unfortunately tho due to playing myself at 6! Bugger!

Always amazes me that posters who have been registered, in Underwood's case 4 days, can make comments as if they have been a forum member for years, hmmm. Perhaps that is why a reasonable discussion quite often turns into a personal slanging match.

I agree with hoola btw. Shame the game was priced to get the most money in rather than get the most fans in.

I may have been a forum member a short period of time, however i've held a season ticket since the mid 90s since I was 10 year old, so I think I am well entitled to make comments to anyone who seemingly is just trying to have a dig at the saviour of our club.

You are perectly entitled to any view you want on the knowledge you have. I am just wonder how yourself, as a forum member for 4 days, can attack hoola for his comment? As far as youn know, hoola may be JR's biggest supporter and praised him continually for years. In fact as far as you know, this may be the first negative post about John Ryan on the forum? Lucky guess? Friends tell you? Been researching the archives? Or........

And as I mention earlier, you attack hoola as the poster in your inital post, rather than his opinion of the crowd funder scheme. Hence why a reasonable discussion turns into a personal slanging match.

There's still a dig at John Ryan, and stating that the players on display aren't good enough. Not quite sure who he was expecting to play, maybe hoola could tell us.

[rtid88]

I did ask yesterday but got no response!

[Silkscarf]

Will it just be the West Stand that is open or East/South too?

[dknward2]

Think its only east and west stands

[drfc1951]

I thought I saw Mark McCammon at the game yesterday, before game in carpark.
