Fans

[roversdude]

There were some proper dheads there today trying to drive their anti board agenda

[Draytonian III]

Perhaps they were having one last tantrum because it’s the end of the Easter school holidays

[silent majority]

There were some older heads amongst them too. I found the constant negativity tiresome, as did a lot of people around me as well.

Support the team not the regime my arse!

[roversdude]

Agree there was no support from any of them - it was draining tbh

[DonnyBazR0ver]

That was one of the most disappointing things for me last home game. When doing well in the first half, we heard the "You must be sh*t, we're winning at home' whilst Grimsby were playing poorly and their crowd were behind them all the way.

When the teams low on confidence, but playing well,.no matter what we think about DS, the players deserve and need the support, especially the younger ones.

These nobs just seem intent on destruction no matter what. They're getting precisely what they wish for.

[sedwardsdrfc]

I know it can get negative on here when things are bad, and they are, but if you’re paying to go away to watch the team you’d expect everyone to be behind the team. Fair enough if there’s a shit show people are going to be negative but at least give it chance.

[normal rules]

whilst every club has its fair share of what some describe as "d**kheads", lets not forget, the ones that travel are usually the die hards. those that follow though thick and thin.

[sedwardsdrfc]

Thinking about it again it does show how bad we’ve been and how dejected the fan base is if the away support can’t get behind the team.

When you’ve over 90% wanting the manager gone it’s not that surprising. The clubs decisions go directly against what such an overwhelming majority of supporters believe.

Singing “you’re not fit to wear the shirt” while holding the flag up

Maybe if Copps wasn’t stubborn and actually acted and did the right thing by sacking Schofield, the support wouldnt be so toxic.

[Rovers91]

I get the impression the fans used it today just to get their point across, I didn't see any trouble to suggest there was d**kheads. Not saying I agree with the board out on that, I just want Blunt and Schofield out.

[Branton Red]

I found the constant negativity tiresome, as did a lot of people around me as well.

This describes how the people who sit around me at home games think about Schofield's tactics and approach to matches.

If any football club is obviously and continuously negligent and incompetent in it's most important task - running a football team - then this is going to result in increasingly poor performances, poor results and therefore a very unhappy fan base.

It's not really rocket science is it???

No it’s not rocket science, but it’s not the point I made either. Doh!

[idler]

A lot of our fans today were an absolute disgrace.
I’ve never been so disappointed at an away  game in hundreds of games since 1962.
Not just the negativity and constant foul and abusive language and moronic chants but the lack of support for the team as well.
There was one guy there with his son who was about seven. He swore constantly whist explaining to his son where DS was going wrong.
There’s no wonder the young players are scared to death of making a mistake a lot of the time.
Not a great advert for Doncaster.

I'm finding the whole thing exhausting.

You were complaining at the negativity of some fans today.

I was explaining in the simplest terms why fans are unhappy - and therefore why some may have a negative attitude at matches.

Seems to me my response was exceptionally apt to the point you were making. Duh!

Fans can be unhappy but the behaviour today contributed to the distinct evaporation of confidence in that second half.
Some bloke near me started chanting “come on harrogate” absolute clowns

[StocksArmy]

They are total d!ckheads. Leeds Utd have around 40,000 of them, Only one way to shut them up

[roversdude]

There were quite a few I’d not seen at away games this season and had obviously had a good sesh

[Pliskin]

Dreadful atmosphere there today.

A loud minority seemingly turned up with one intention; to just jeer and abuse the manager, including pouncing on every mistake to then go on and abuse the manager some more.

A very disappointing day, and that was nothing to do with the performance which wasn't that bad.

I can only sympathise with Schofield at this point. No one deserves this sort of rubbish directed at them.

[idler]

Surely to get tickets they must have been season ticket holders?
A lot were a disgrace though.

That’s the worst “ abuse “ I’ve heard aimed at our manager in my lifetime. Not only that the “ physio” was getting abuse as well.
To me, give your opinion at the end of the match, but by destroying the manager, players & staff DURING the match is bizarre. A game we WERE winning & still gets it. Whatever wage DS is on he didn’t deserve that today.
I’m not sticking up for his tactics etc, I’m saying give him respect as a human being.

[Move DRFC]

If Schofield is sacked the toxicity will disappear and there will be some optimism going into the new season.

Surely the club want the fans on side, there’s no way back when the majority of the fan base want the manager out. Just get rid of Schofield for Christ sake

[podrover73]

There was toxicity before Schofield came to the club, it has been there all season and is sucking the life blood out of the club

[Branton Red]

It's the appalling and utterly incompetent leadership decisions on matters of football administration over a sustained period of time which is 'sucking the life blood out of the club'.

I'm not condoning some of the worst behaviour of a minority of fans however the 'toxicity' in the stands is totally understandable in Rovers current circumstances. It is a symptom not a cause of Rovers woes.

The toxicity in the stands has contributed to the demise. Other clubs get behind their team during a game, no matter what. Clubs with far worse boards than us.
We have hundreds of fans who have no interest in the game or how well the club is doing. They just go for the drink and the aggro

[mushRTID]

I couldn’t get a ticket but after watching the videos from yesterday, talking to mates who were there and sleeping on it I admit I find the whole situation quite sad on a personal level for him.

Anyone who thinks Schofield deserves that for 90 minutes is a moron. This is a local guy with a young family who is clearly under immense pressure, and gets booed into the dugout before a ball is kicked? Disgusting really.

Maybe I’m being too nice but I think I’m through the angry stage of the performances/decisions and genuinely feel for the guy now.

A decision needs to be made for his own good.

[Rovers Return]

That was possibly one of the worst atmospheres created by a handful of d**kheads. Some obviously had had a few bevvies. It stopped the MAJORITY of us getting behind the team with their anal, boring, chanting. If you currently played for the Rovers would you be encouraged to continue to, and have a glowing experience that you went on to talk about “despite the results how great the fans were”?

If you were about to sign would you go elsewhere? I did hear that during the Tom Anderson controversial match that a couple of prospects left saying “they wouldn’t play for that lot”

I must admit after following the Rovers home and away for 57 years I was always proud of the Doncaster fan base. I’m now very disillusioned and considering if I want to be associated with them anymore. I hated the Grimsby fans with an historic vengeance but had to admit they knocked us out of the park in terms of support. All be it in a similar position to us.

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

I agree with mush completely. We said the same leaving yesterday. The football has been really poor but you can't not feel sorry for the man surely?

I also found the atmosphere in the away section excessive yesterday.  I struggle a little to understand just how people can get so angry about football etc, surely there is a line?  Maybe it's just me getting older.

[Rovers91]

I think it's hard to disagree with the comment from Mush, I'm in the Schofield out camp. But at the same time you have got to feel sorry for the bloke for what he went through yesterday.
