The Voice - Match preview Doncaster Rovers vs Bradford City Saturday 25th February 2023 @ 3:00pm

Long ago. Charlie Rackstraw bender, think we drew. Another occasion, Patsy Hollinger stood with his mate in the middle of their fans daring anyone to fight them. Two nice Donny girls dancing to Four in the Morning by Faron Young. Happy days.

 

Looking like a good crowd Saturday.
A number of the home blocks sold out.
Could be 11000 as things stand

 

That would be great to see!

Football stadiums should be as full as possible.

To be fair to Donny, they actually do utilise cheap season tickets, I was half-expecting them to be hawking them at £400 or something silly - but you can get an adult season ticket for £229.

Stunned their isn't more take up, to be honest, given that the fans actually do historically exist as has been proven by previous attendance figures.

 

Played there once for Bradford Boys U15s, yes it was bloody enormous, and as a midfielder was absolutely knackered at the end of the game.

 

Agree, happy times.

 

Feel free to look around VP on a matchday.

Snobbery isn't a great look if I'm honest.

 

Not sure I see your point.

It's incredibly difficult to find a photo of Donny's stadium looking full this season.

If you manage it, fair play to you.




It might be deceptive, but honestly, it's very, very difficult to get a good photo of the Keepmoat these days.

That photo above is probably the BEST ONE I can find.

 

No problem. Find me a photo of VP looking FULL this season.

I'll wait.

 

Depends what you're trying to say by 'full'.

Comparing it to 'empty', you just have to avoid the lower tier of the TL Dallas, and the far side of the main stand (which are never occupied).

The rest, not so bad, apart from maybe the corner ('singing') stand which is very sparse indeed.

 

There are rumours of a demonstration against the board on Saturday. That might account for some of the increased home attendees.

 

Walking up to bell vue with Pete Newbury and patsys lot ……Like rollerball. 12 year old eyes rolling around going were am I going. 60 year old miners chasing you.

 

Newby!

 

Correct.

 

George Miller with just 1 scoring game in his last 16 starts and currently goalless in his last 13 starts, or since Nov 12th.... how long do we reckon it will take for him to open the scoring tomorrow? Lavery there too these days, he's not scored for them yet in 6 sub appearances.

 

No points in these next 2 away games and what will be it like inside an almost deserted stadium v Colchester ... ?

 

Not surprised by that, Miller is a hard worker but simply not that talented.

Glad we steered clear tbh.

 

"If I could turn back time".
Happy,crazy,frightening days but, we knew nothing else whilst going to a game.

 

No trains between Ilkley and Leeds tomorrow If anyone is travelling that way.
Rail replacement service is on.
Might want to factor this in to your journey if like me your on the train.

 

Engineering works. Surely they could have planned it for a strike day

 

Rovers are like their near neighbours, Scunthorpe, with big ambitions but struggle to face the harsh reality that they are not any higher than L1 status.

Easily the weakest Yorkie footie club, in terms of support etc

But then again Rotherham are the second weakest and we'd swap with their last ten seasons!! So in some respects it shows, it'd down to leadership at the top.
