Donnybob/PDX Brilliant posts couldn’t have put it better
Up to the point when the first lockdown came, when we were improving in the second half of the season with Jacob Ramsey on board etc, there was a buzz about the place. The club had already enhanced the fan park with outside caterers, the stage set up outside with a DJ and music, it was a good place to be. There was a chance, particularly with the games in hand, that we could achieve the play offs as we were playing so great football. Then boom, the season curtailed and we lose out on PPG. Wind the clock on, we're doing OK at top of league, then Whiteman leaves, the momentum turns the wrong way, DM does a runner and the rest till now is history. That said, at the start of this season there was a buzz, with fans being allowed back, Wellens has been appointed and there's fresh optimism....until....So, overall the club wasn't in a bad place however, the obvious set backs are bound to have an effect, it knocks the stuffing out of us. Trouble is, everyone starts searching for the problem, the conspiracy when all it really comes down to is the output on the pitch which is mainly due to the upheaval of the change in the manager No point going through all the whys and wherefores of all that but sometimes the answer is a simple one rather than something being fundamentally wrong behind the scenes, despite Covid, despite sadly losing Dick Watson. Lee, I don't know why you chose to reminisce about 10 years ago, things weren't always rosy back then either. Attendances were already declining after the initial promotion to the Championship with the novelty wearing off etc.

'Shops at Netto' etc to me suggests that the crux of the issue for people pushing this argumenty is that not enough money is being spent.If that's not what the folk behind that Netto flag are trying to get across then they might want to try a different tact/slogan because that's the first thing presumed by anyone I've heard talk about it, myself included.

Has the banner with Gavin Baldwins image on been produced legally.Has Gavin given permission for his image to be used.

I’d be genuinely interested to hear this one answered as I’m finding the concept a bit confusing. Rather like when your strapline is ”support the team not the regime” but your signature song includes the line ”all our players are shite.”It doesn’t quite seem to add up.
Why do you have to wear scarves to identify yourself as the Netto brigade. We know who you are already when every goal goes in against us and your moronic chants

They are places to which the public are allowed access providing they comply with ground and club regulations. If I owned a football club, I would not stand for it.Protest outside by all means. By not inside.
I'd be pissed off too & could see it causing problems within our own fans tbh, the last thing we need.I thought there was decent noise coming from the south stands on Tuesday given the circumstances, let's hope we can stick to supporting the team.

Not sure why but not the best from groups of giggling small boys in the BB.

I’m sure they were aimed at the Rotherham fans; sadly there will be victims of child abuse in the ground from both communities and these idiots are considering the issue banter. It’s an absolute disgrace and it’s one of the many things that is really turning me away from Doncaster Rovers as a club; I’ve been a supporter since the 1980 and was always on the pop side; they had great songs, Original songs and great banter. This lot are just pathetic, moronic, selfish idiots for most part.It’s the same lot that stand in gangways at away grounds blocking people’s views; including those who can’t stand up. They are ruining the atmosphere at games for me and just need to learn to think for themselves, take responsibility or move on back to the youthy.

Whilst i recognise that i was a young lad once and did some immature stuff, it is the actions such as standing up and blocking the view of other fans that i really detest. Pure acts of selfish entitlement. If they do want to stand, which they shouldn't be anyway in a seated stadium but OK i guess- then stand at the f**king back, selfish tw*ts. Some of them need kicking out for behaviours like this. Not sure how some of them have been dragged up tbh. I've been to many games of other clubs in the past 10-15 years or so and this kind of thing happens at most clubs so it isn't exclusive to DRFC. It's just kids who seem these days, not all of them but many, who don't think of others. I wouldn't dream of standing up in the middle of stand knowing full well that other fellow fans behind me would not be able to see or would have to go through the inconvenience of moving seats, and i wouldn't have done so as a youth either. Either stand at the back or f**k off i say. As for the chants. Yes, some are potentially inflammatory and insensitive and sadly this has always been the case. I don't think these fans are yet mature enough to understand that others might be affected by their actions and whilst i can understand that they just want o have a laugh with their mates, i do think that some of their actions need addressing.

Check an egg at the back of their heads if they stand up in front of you and call it 'banter'.
Some very childish posts by the usual suspects. And you call the Netto lot kids?
