Shall we just dispense with the fixture list this season and pop teams and dates in a bingo machine?

Probably get the same output.

Dead right Vaya. What with postponements, re-arranged fixtures, injuries, and Tom's suspension, this season has been pretty miserable so far.

Let's just hope the Sunderland game on TV is better than last season's. That was bloody miserable as well.

Another game to not attend for me then, frustrating, was looking forward to this.

Being a retired person I am fortunate in that I will still be able to go but it will be late getting home.

Not as late as Portsmouth is going to be hound.

Wish Sky would just piss off to be honest.

Shite that, last train out of Newcastle to Doncaster on the Friday seems to be 21:15.

The 00:08 only goes as far as York. Maybe someone at the club can liaise with LNER about extending it to Doncaster on that evening. They are our Shirt Sponsor, after all!

Selling our fans out ... where is our outrage at this !! We seek recompense form Bolton over cancellation and yet we show not a murmur over a change that benefits DRFC and the supporters not one jot ! How many supporters will be missing this by moving it to a Friday ? .  It’s big club syndrome, where smaller clubs loose  our to TVs manipulation over football . 

[IDM]

WTF.?

Yes some fans will be inconvenienced but this is a totally different thing to to Bolton fiasco..

Why ? Are on a winning streak NO! and subject to a growing list of as yet unplayed games , out of all the cup competitions and it’s only December , and we now roll over to all the advantage of yet another match to go without any consideration to OUR supporters possibly as many as 1000 will not now travel .

[IDM]

What’s our current form got to do with a game 6 weeks away changing from a Saturday to a Friday.?

Yes it is inconvenient, and annoying to some, but methinks you are exaggerating somewhat..

Can’t be any worse than Arsenal or Charlton and I survived those two.
The birds were just getting up as I was walking the last half mile home after getting off the coach.

[scawsby steve]

Middlesborough away 0-4; Hartlepool  away 1-2; Sunderland away 0-2.

Our record in televised away games in the North East is abysmal. Let's hope we can change it.

The 0008 train is not an LNER service.

So you think MORE supporters will travel up to Sunderland in Friday evening on the busiest day of the week .

Are you pissed or on drugs or something.?  I said nowt of the sort.

I mean you are making pointless comparisons with changing this fixture and with our current form and the Bolton situation etc..

Basically, you’re talking b*llocks, and when challenged, spout more meaningless shite.

I wonder how you will spin this now.?

[DRFC_AjA]

You could equally argue that more people will be happy about this than angry, since now ALL rovers fans can watch it, not just those who travel. Swing and roundabouts.

Being in a similar situation I will be at home all the time - saving on Coach Travel and Ticket and the pre Match Beers

Hope you pop to The Avenue like last year - if you do say hello to them from me - cracking Pub !

[elmsallrover]

Me too was going to go on the Saturday but now it will be at home heating on a few beers and pizza shouting at the telly fantastic

[Donnywolf]

  .... and avoiding those b****y steps

.... and avoiding those b****y steps

It’s not the best stand is it. Lots of steps and very high up not the best view and you feel a long way from the pitch.
But i will be going. Love to witness us doing the double over them this season.

Not as bad as that day at Newcastle though. That was high. Needed binoculars to see who the players were.
It was like watching a game of football from an airplane ✈️

If Martin Woods penalty had been at the other end one of us would have had a chance of catching the ball before it made its way to outer space.

[les@donr]

Solution, ask LNER to put on a special train to and from Sunderland for our fans.

[IDM]

Of course you can have an opinion, but your posts on response to mine didn’t follow any logic and didn’t make sense..

If your conclusion to that is to call me a Kitson, then I’m afraid that says more about you..
