Doing the 92

[Lytham Rover]

Rovers get an honourable mention in the I paper

"Shoehorning "super Donny" into putting on a show

[BradwellRover]

Eh?

[VivaRovers]

Eh?

This season-long feature by the Independent's Daniel Storey

[Pancho Regan]

It's behind a paywall for me.

[Lytham Rover]

The phrase was

"Watching Super Donny putting on a show"

As in the song

[rich1471]

Talking of the 92 got talking to a man from Sweden at rovers last season we were the 90th team he has done he only had Bromley and Brentford to do to complete them all

[Scooter]

I enjoyed reading that. No paywall that I could see

[Scooter]

Also just realised that most of us will lose 1 from our ‘doing the 92’ as Everton leave Goodison. Unless you count clubs

[drfchound]

Nice mention for Mols in there too.

Yes, this will put me back to 86 of the 92, all six missing ones in the top league, unsurprisingly. (Everton, Chelsea, West Ham, Tottenham, Brentford and Man City)
Done 4 of these at their old ground, but then they moved.
Only 3 of the 86 that I have visited did not involve Rovers' matches. Liverpool was a charity game, Man Utd was an England game, and Man City was a junior Rovers trip (I think) when I was very young!

[NigelJ]

Should also add that I've seen Rovers play 84 of the current 92 in away league games. Arsenal, Everton and Stoke were only in cup games.

I’ve seen Rovers play at at least 118 grounds, but nowhere near doing the 92, and wont do it now as I’ve given up with long away trips.

That was an enjoyable read.

Very odd. I just tried again 3 times and a paywall blocks me from reading the article unless I subscribe.

Part 2 of 4 today

There's a nice pic of Luke Molyneux today and he says that he saw Rovers five times during the season (the other 4 times when he was watching the home team) and he says that

" I sawDoncaster more than any other team and Molyneux scored 5 goals from the wing.
Now 27 he developed lateafter leaving Sunderland for non league.
He is also capable of being excellent in League 1

[Draytonian III]

I’ve seen Rovers play on 151 grounds but that includes lots of “ doubles “ Arsenal,Rotherham,Chesterfield etc . There’s some supporters seen more than that, as I’ve very rarely gone to pre-season friendlies

[Armthorpe mickler]

Done 150 grounds with Rovers and 75 in the league will be 78 if I do those in league 1 next season.

Good read that, lots of observations that get mentioned on here, all very relatable to most footy fans.
It's taken me a few bites to get through the article mind, cheers Viva, via Bedale, for the link.

[Pancho Regan]

I don't know how you guys are managing to read these articles without having to confront a paywall!
I've tried on three different devices now and it still blocks me until I agree to subscribe (and pay).
I get a tantalising few moments with the article in view and then up pops the paywall.
Very frustrating.

I just clicked on Viva’s link on an iPhone 16 - no paywall

I just clicked on Viva's link too, on a Samsung galaxy.

Try copying the url into this, someone on here steered me to this clean up page a while ago.

Brilliant Spud, that's done the trick.

Many thanks for that.

[Herman Hessian]

decent article but he's way off the mark when picking 'football in a library' and 'watching super Donny' as the worst chants in the English game - as far as I'm concerned, Keith Allen needs dousing in petrol and setting light to for f**king 'Vindaloo'...

[RedRover45]

Seen Rovers at 226 currently
