Doncaster rewrite the script

Championship Doncaster Rovers
by U11343659 25 May 2008
comment on the article

Another exciting play off final that almost brings to a close the league season.

A passion filled performance from the Donny's sees them storm into the championship with a last gasp effort.

Leeds championship ambitions go up in flames and leave fans hopes in tatters, but perhaps another season in division one will help them regain stability.

AlphaWildRover. If this nonsense occurred on some trains home, then I stand ashamed. Certainly not on my train or anywhere near me. I only witnessed the first kind of reaction you describe. If any of you muppets who "claim" to be Leeds Fans by behaving like this are reading this (or having someone read it for you), shame on you ! Nothing short of Bullies and Thugs. I reckon you were probably Bullied at school yourselves and that you only feel confident enough to pick on folk when you've got other Bullies around you ! I'll tell you this for free, you wouldn't have got away with it had you been remotely close to me and my group which included 50 - 60 serving and ex Para's ! Stay away from LUFC, your not welcome ! You've probably never been to Elland road anyway ? Vandal, if this is the case, I take back my little pokes at you mate. Appols.

You cant say ANY Leeds supports as that is not true but the mass majority (which is quite a lot as we were out numbered) did say well done and shake our hand, but there were the odd few who were very bad loosers and started trying to cause trouble on way to the tube, we just laughed and shook our heads as we got some right stick by cocky leeds fans on way to Wembley. All i can say is Rovers Till I Die! Proud to be from Donny!

Donny Lass. By "ANY", I meant "ANY" of those idiots who behaved in a manner that brings shame on LUFC. I really enjoyed the craic and banter with DRFC supporters on way home. What was funny, was watching Londoners trying to decipher what we were on about when we where all talking with each other. McDonald's and Subway are hiring in translators, ha ha !

alphaWildrover - I have been on your VSC forum and I agree, it doesn't make good reading, However, it does sound as though at least a few numpty's got their comeuppances ? I've also been onto various LUFC forums (some linked from VSC) and some of them do mention a bit a trouble but, I do think the vast majority of the day went well and passed off without any trouble barr the actions of the few BULLIES that we spoke about. More revoking of season tickets (if they even hold one) at all clubs to deal with these animals is what I say !

I agree wholeheartedly, though would a season ticket being revoked help. I understand your feelings, and i also COMMEND 98% of LUFC fans Behaviour. These things are generally a few who "Gang" together, and for whatever reason simply lose the plot, i know there are Doncaster Fans who are similar minded to those LUFC supporters, same at every club, it just appears much worse when 2% of 50K ( in Leeds case ) or 2% of 20K ( In Donny's Case) are out to cause bother. It makes me wonder if these people will continue in that vein throughout life. A very hard and fearsom man i knew once told me that he calmed down and began to accept deplomacy as opposed to fighting when he realised he was becoming a "Target" for all up and coming wannabees, realising that a good young 'un had a pretty good chance of inflicting damage on a slowing old'un. maybe that sort of thought may get through eventually. Any way, i wish you, and LUFC well in the future. After all its only a game.

Sheffield Wednesday was also relegated and struggled at first in Div 1
SuperSuperLeeds22 but unlike Leeds Wednesday are trying to pay off their debt the proper way and not fiddling anyone like Bates has. So if I was Leeds fans I wouldn'y complain and going into Administration because Leeds are now debt free and can build a team from here unlike a lot of other clubs.

I have got to say the majority of the leeds fans are true football fans, they were very gracious in defeat, I only came across one leeds fan all day who showed any sort of aggresive behaviour, which was quite scary as i had my son with me and i was isolated with no other rovers fans nearby,this is football not tribal warfare, i thought this behaviour stopped in the 70s when i used to travel with the rovers and it is true what they say these morons give the true fans a bad reputation at every club, I felt really sorry for the leeds fans and players and wish them good luck in the season coming.
