Open top bus parade+ civic reception

[donnyguy]

According to free press council are gonna plan a civic reception along with open top bus parade. Date yet to be organised

[Nudga]

Would have thought bank holiday Monday

[karldew]

Only good if we win the league imo. A little embarrassing celebrating 2nd place

[Spilsby Red]

Nothing wrong with celebrating promotion, be it champions or runners up

[Alan Southstand]

There is nothing wrong about celebrating promotion - just ask the players!

[Thorney]

Would have thought bank holiday Monday

Would be better sunday?

Would give the pubs a better trade with people being off the monday

Leeds is already organised and booked in!

Fair enough open top if we win it but maybe just stadium celebrations if we’re runners up?

[Sven Vath]

Arranging party's before the last game of the season? What's all that about... wait a minute election time.


Reform will get in

[TonySoprano]

Be a bit weird if we don't win the league like.

[dickos1]

Why?
Leeds have there’s happening and they haven’t won the league yet

[jmt23]

I think the open top should be after a league or cup win only, we have just about all celebrated the promotion ( AND BOY DID WE AND THE TEAM CELEBRATE  and rightly so, it was a great achievement)

If we do not achieve the league title I imagine it to be slightly flat for both fans and the team.

[Padge_DRFC]

Shouldn't be a bus if we don't win the league.

[Pancho Regan]

Shouldn't be a bus if we don't win the league.

Maybe down-grade to bicycles?

Ross Jones on X
Not only promoted but champions of the fourth tier for their fourth time in their history.
84 points and their first league title since 2013.
Civic reception and open top bus tour will be extra special, watch this space for detalls, but it will be in June / July as a lot of players will be on holiday in May.

June or July? f**k that, it needs to be within a week or so whilst we're still riding high.

[RobTheRover]

Get the bus booked.

[Jonathan]

If it’s June / July then they should scrap it. Ought to be tomorrow or next weekend at the latest.

The players, management and owners have done a remarkable job this season to deliver a promotion / title that we’ve never been out of contention for since the opening day. Players won’t have had holidays pre-booked in the next week as the play offs was also a live possibility until last Saturday.

Planning (not the responsibility of the football club) should’ve been ongoing in the background for some time, as it has been in Leeds. These events are all about capitalising on momentum. In June / July supporters will be on holiday and players will be in pre-season mode. It’s not appropriate to have an open top bus parade so long after the event.

It’s a shame if this achievement can’t be celebrated with an organised event in the way it deserves to be. But the fans, players and football club have had a great last week celebrating and those memories can never be taken away. Well done to all at the football club and if nothing is organised quickly then holidays are richly deserved and we move on to next season.

On a side note I have just watched the EFL highlights show Rovers after match,champions cup presentation got a full 6 seconds coverage watching the Bradford coverage one would have thought they were the champions

[Smyth]

Planning for the trophy parade is the responsibility of the club, that should be inside the stadium as happened in 2013 after winning at Brentford.
Dear God,  please don't tell me Ros Jones has decided the date.

[Filo]

June July is stupid, the loan players will have gone back and most probably be involved in pre season preparations with their parent club

[roversdude]

Agree needs to be ASAP not June/July

[karldew]

“a lot of players will be on holiday in May”

Labour talking sh*te again. These same players would have a blank calendar due to potential playoff dates. The club either need to sort something out or not bother, June/July is far too late.

[Padge_DRFC]

The one in 2013 at the ground was because it wasn't allowed at Brentford that day.

Joke if it's June

[graingrover]

It would be good to combine it with a in -stadium event of some sort to also celebrate other aspects of Club Donny this year,

[Smyth]

The one in 2013 at the ground was because it wasn't allowed at Brentford that day.

You mean the one that took place to allow over 5,000 inside the stadium that was arranged at very short notice,  we hadn't won the league until the last minute so it's been done before,  sounds to me like it's already been accepted as happening at a much later inappropriate date, maybe that's why T.Bramall had hold of the trophy soon as possible
It cannot be a politican led event

[Chris Black come back]

“a lot of players will be on holiday in May”

Labour talking sh*te again. These same players would have a blank calendar due to potential playoff dates. The club either need to sort something out or not bother, June/July is far too late.

I doubt very much this is the doing of the Mayor. It will be in her interests to be as closely associated with success as possible, and having this sooner rather than later will deliver that. I suspect it was more likely that it all came together very late and people had plans already. It is not as if we were nailed on for promotion since March.

[roversdude]

Probably an open top bus in the midlands that was booked at Christmas and no longer needed going spare

[Ian Nimmo]

Seems certain it will be the mayor suggesting this date, l can’t imagine it will be anything from the club.
As many have said many of the players will not be with us in June /July
Can you imagine Chelsea will allow TSL to fly back from a summer tour somewhere in the world so he can visit Ros Jones.

[roversdude]

Let’s just have the parade without civic visit
