What's the thing you are looking forward to the most?

For me, its seeing some little kid with a tin foil covered cardboard FA Cup in their hands. Marvellous!

Yep – not sure anybody sticks squeezy bottles together and covers stuff in sticky back plastic anymore a la Val Singleton but it'd be top dollar eh...

I'm looking forward to the Bar Mitzvah moment of my 12 year old vomiting up his spleen when we get that last minute winner.

It's a rite of passage. We've all been through it.

He'll come out the other side with a bit missing, but a man.

Premier League. Don't make me f**king laugh. No idea...

Hopefully, a 'party' atmosphere in the Southstand, come what may. We simply have to enjoy this one.

Looking forward to seeing us give them a game and seeing how we measure up. Also to seeing the KM full. Always a treat.

With six points this week, six goals the team have done everything asked of them. Sunday’s game is the bonus we would all like to see a win, but come what may we should all enjoy the game and let’s see a party atmosphere, as Alan says. The full house is brilliant and we have not seen that enough, so we must enjoy.

Would love to hear rather than see Mike Dean blowing final whistle meaning we had made it to Round 6

I'll have my Rovers flag with me in Frankfurt

Also hoping we hear 'record attendance at The Keepmoat' !

It simply cant be beaten unless a) we fiddle the Gate and declare 15002 or b) we get in Prem and extend the Ground or c) introduce safe standing and draw Man City in Cup in a few Seasons time and fill the place !

I’ve gone on and on for years to my kids about how utterly fantastic it was beating QPR, Man City and Villa in the Cup. I want them to feel that same intense, all consuming euphoria that bursts through your body the moment the ref blows the final whistle.

Saying that, we should remember we’re talking about Donny Rovers here; big crowd, big match, on telly...it’s all gearing up for us to lose.

I hope someone will bring a large inflatable banana.

I will be sitting on my balcony, beer in hand, watching it on the BBC via Modbro on my Smasung S9 whilst being fanned by a breeze from the Indian Ocean but all the while wishing I was there.

That's what I look forward to most, seeing it from the West Stand, everyone letting their hair down and going mad. Age does not stop that irrational human behaviour of going crazy when the ball hits the net. Unbridled joy!

Who knows, if we are winning this match, we might even see a conga break out! Haven't seen that for years!

I asked at the ticket office and capacity is down 10% due to segregation and front rows behind goals taken out.
So Gate will be around 13.500 only.

I understand segregation, but does anyone know why they need to take out the front few rows behind the goals?

To impede the potential of a pitch invasion.

Do they really think Palace fans will be that ecstatic, scoring against ‘The likes of Doncaster Rovers’, to run on the pitch and risk getting a ban?

These safety measures are taken for good reason, not to piss people off! It doesn't really matter what the final attendance figure is as long as everyone has a good experience watching the game. The alternatives to strategically placed netting are far more costly to what a few hundred extra paying on average £7 would be.

We have in the past, seen things turn ugly and the club have learned from that to reduce risks but keep costs down. For example, the netting between the North East seats and the boxes provide a buffer between the away fans and the home fans in those boxes. They won't be needed on Sunday as home fans are in those seats.

It's easy to be critical when you don't have the responsibility for safety in the stadium.

 If the game goes to penalties, I want to see just how hard I can be, and see if I can watch the drama play out, I have been found wanting in the past.

If it does go to penalties I hope they're taken at the South Stand end.
