Blades away

[Rich_The_Conisbrough_Rover]

Just ordered 2 tickets to be posted out to me, asked the woman on the other end how many we've sold? her reply.. "We've sold just shy of 300" 🙊🙊🙊 I know we're doing shite but Christ are poor.

[The Red Baron]

There might be a bit more enthusiasm if we win today.

I rang on Thursday and was told we had sold 386. I'm getting 4 on Monday as 2 of us don't have season tickets.

[scaley back rover]

Another 2 to be bought here next week

[Lincoln Rover]

491 around 10 this morning. I asked when I ordered mine.

[IDM]

I don't see why the amount of sales are an issue.  We've not had a great start, not scoring enough goals nor entertaining much.  Naturally support levels are down.

I wasn't going to go on Saturday but I may get the opportunity, so that will be +1 possibly +2 if my dad comes too.

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

I wasn't going either, but decided today I will.  Only done Wigan away so far so it's due.  Probably be my last away for a long while also - damn growing up!

[PopStander]

Even though I predict we will lose 3-0 I'm still going.

A slight change of subject...

Billy Sharp is a Doncaster Rovers hero, proven by his number of votes for the legends banner.

What reception will he get?

I'll be singing his name! Even though he will 100% score against us!

[Retdon1]

Just ordered my tickets over 700 sold up to now hopefully get up to 1500 min  embarassing if not

He will get a polite round of applause from me prior to KO but I won't be singing his name,Legend yes but he is now playing for our rivals in a South Yorkshire derby,I'll be saving my vocal cords to sing & support our current players.

[Draytonian III]

Billy Sharp was a good player for us ,but not a legend

[RedJ]

More a cult hero than a legend.

[Rich_The_Conisbrough_Rover]

Hope we can at least take a 1,000+, think our initial allocation was only 1,400 and we can't sell that. As for the sharp thing.. Is he really a legend at our club? Personally he isn't for me, was just a proven goal scorer and a few fans favourite.

[Andy Samuel]

Went 'berserk' after scoring against us for Southampton. Total lack of respect that? He's no hero of mine. Didn't see darren Moore do that when he scored for derby against us. Now that's a true rovers legend

[dickos1]

He didn't go berserk at Southampton he jogged over to a disabled fan and kissed him and got booked for going into the crowd.
I've no problem with him celebrating in Saturday especially as he's a sheff utd fan, I loved it when he went mad scoring for us against scunny

[Bentley Bullet]

Wasn't Sharp's celebrations at St Mary's a gesture against the Rovers 'experiment' players?

[Retdon1]

I seem to remember sharp came over to the rovers fans at the end of that game to give us a clap, Shame the 11 players on our side couldn't be arsed that day.

[drfchound]

After the way Billy was helped by the Rovers fans after the early death of his son it would be very bad if he was to over celebrate a goal against us whether it was for "his team Sheff Utd" or anyone else.
Respect should be a two way thing.

[dickos1]

He won't over celebrate but I don't expect him to not celebrate at all

[godlike1]

Just ordered my tickets over 700 sold up to now hopefully get up to 1500 min  embarassing if not

Who actually judges what is an embarrassment following or not? Based on current performance of our club over the last 3 seasons and the last 5 in total 700-1000 is not that far off the mark

[the vicar]

he went wild in front of the Scumthorpe fans when he scored for us

[drfchound]

Yes he did but he didnt have the same circumstances surrounding him with Scunny as he did with the Rovers.

[Filo]

Yes he did but he didnt have the same circumstances surrounding him with Scunny as he did with the Rovers.

And the Scunny fans gave him plenty of abuse

[dickos1]

My mate is big scunny fan, sharp was his hero,
But he's hated him ever since that celebration, it'd be tough to watch him go wild like that, taking his shirt off and booting advertising board

[Sammy Chung was King]

Players should celebrate scoring a goal, it shows no disrespect, i hate that holding the hands up sorry gesture, he would never have joined us if Sheff utd hadn't wanted him to go.
He was always a big Sheff utd fan, he was'' loaned'' to us when we got him, his affections were always the same, but i do think he loves our club as well, for how the fans treated him and the best time period of his career, we had his best years.

[dickos1]

He celebrated for us against sheff u so were naive to think he won't the other way around

[Al4475]

Do we care - really? If he scores against us he'll celebrate! If he doesn't - he won't! Personally I hope that any celebrations come from our players! I'm not bothered either way whether if he scores agains us he celebrates or not! He ain't our player anymore so I don't give a monkey's personally!

[glosterred]

Why do we worry about how many tickets we sell for an away game? Its more important to worry about how many we sell for home games. At least with tickets sold for home games we get the money.

COYR

[the vicar]

Yes he did but he didnt have the same circumstances surrounding him with Scunny as he did with the Rovers.

yes i agree with you

[BillyStubbsTears]

Ooh. Ooh. I wonder if Billy still loves us.

Whatever happened to having a bit of self-respect? I don't give a flying f*** what he thinks about us. I hope Butler puts him over the Kop roof after 30 seconds and he doesn't land until the 89th minute.

Or, alternatively, I won't give a shite if Sharp scores 5 goals and celebrates every time by dropping his shorts, thrapping himself to tumescence and revealing his swollen organ with the words "Donny, Aids, Pikey, Scum" in foot high neon letter dangling from his bell end, just as long as young Curtis scores 6.

And yes, that final scenario is a little far-fetched, I'll grant you.
