    Amazing effort. 

    To think what this club could achieve with an interested owner …. Maybe if we reach the heady heights of the Championship we might be worth what our current incumbent is trying to get for a current League 1 side.

    Come on you REDS, make the next few games something to remember.....

    If we get promoted Roly ain't going nowhere 
    Not true. Everything that comes out of him says that he wants out of football. If we go up, someone might be willing to pay a bit closer to his ridiculous asking price.

    If you believe his mouth piece, then he won't own us come the beginning of next season.

    And if the unthinkable happens and we don't succeed in the Play-Off I agree and dread to think who will be donning the Charlton shirts next season. For this reason alone, I won't get a season ticket until he's long gone and the locks have been changed !

    Yes, that would something. Especially when I remember Middlesbrough away in 84/85 I counted 27 of us on the terrace! (and it wasn't even a midweek game!)
    But at least you wasn't the only person in The Oak this season 20 mins before KO, of a massive Checkatrade game.

    Indeed I wasn't (I've actually never been in there)...but I was one of the sub-2000 at home to Mansfield in the FA Cup and I've got my 10 loyalty points to prove it!
    Me & you both & Mansfield away.

    John Marquis gave his Doncaster Rovers team-mates the ultimate compliment by insisting: Not one of our play-off rivals’ players would get in our team.
    Donny entertain Charlton in the first leg of their play-off semi-final on Sunday, with the second leg at The Valley the following Friday.
    The Keepmoat Stadium outfit finished sixth in the final League One table – 12 points adrift of fifth-placed Sunderland and 15 shy of the 85 points accrued by both Pompey and the Addicks.
    Meanwhile, Donny had just the one player named in the PFA League One Team of the Year.
    That player was former Blues loanee Marquis, whose 25 goals helped Grant McCann’s side book a top-six finish.
    Yet despite their recognition, Marquis believes none of them would fit into the Rovers first-team set-up.
    Speaking to the Doncaster Free Press, the front man said: ‘There is no one in our team I'd swap for anyone in any of the other teams in the play-offs.
    ‘We're going in there as a unit and we'll see what can happen.
    ‘We'll take anyone. We're not scared of anyone.’
    Marquis, who scored two goals in six appearances for Pompey during the 2013-14 League Two season, was also confident of his side’s chances ahead of the forthcoming play-off games.
    He added: ‘There has already been a lot of talk from the other teams, saying how good they all are.
    ‘Let’s see how good they are.
    "They finished with a lot of points more than us. Fair enough.
    ‘But this is just three games. If we win the next three games, we are in the Championship next season.
    ‘Charlton are the next team. All we are concentrating on is getting the right result over these two games. Then, if we can, it is Wembley. But we look no further than the next two.’
    What's he meant to say though - "Yeah, we're shit and just scraped into the playoffs, I'd massacre a small village to have Lyle Taylor up front with me, and it's going to take a lot of luck for us to go up"?

    Obviously you say that and obviously EVERY team's players say that.

    A very good effort to try and increase sluggish ticket sales. Obviously they have a top PR person there.

    Small proof reading error at the beginning bit though. Should read “ not one of our playoff rival players would want to get into our team”.

    This is brilliant , much better than a match thread or being at the match itself.

    If possible can you take the numbers out of the title cos its's spoiling the enjoyment of reading the thread . 

    I've read it 4 times now and the best bit is happening now as the extra away ones go on sale and the number fluctuates.

    this is real away fan porn that we don't usually get with Charlton

    as each update arrives i get a gentle rise down below 

    this is what football and the play offs is all about 

    theres not a liverpool or spurs fan who has got more enjoyment this week than me as our away ticket sales go off the charts .

    I've got my away tickets to add to the fun but in reality I can't be bothered with the game , it wont be as good as this 
    Just checked on Pornhub and there’s now a category entitled “Away fans”.

    It’s a bit specialist but well worth a watch.

    Was that the year when the police did the refreshments?


    No...it was the year Aizlewood got sent off, Ronnie Moore gave away a pen (he was playing centre-back by then) and we lost 1-0.

    Season started brilliantly, we won 3-0 at Cardiff (Hales 3) and we went on a decent run. Hales broke the all-time goal record when he scored a diving header at home to Huddersfield but by about March he just disappeared to Gillingham.

    The police refreshments out the back of their van, was the following promotion season when we won 3-1 (Mark Stuart with a great solo goal).

    I would have been there, but they all blur into one after a while. The worst away turnout I remember was the Saturday morning game at Notts County, which was about 60.

    Is this a "finish the sentence" competition to break up time between now and selling out ?

    Oh that was a corker. 0-0....Rachid Harkouk hit the post for them, Les Berry audibly called the lino a c*** and nothing else happened. Same season as the 27 at Boro.

    Afterwards, a few of us (Richard Birch, Steve Dixon led by a bloke called Pete Campbell) went to Forest v Wimbledon in the FA Cup. Much better game....but 0-0. Then we bunked onto the Wimbledon special on the way home. 

    Some appalling home crowds that season too... including my lowest home league crowd of 3,200 v Sheff Utd.

    Got our tickets today and noticed they are allocated seats, is this going to be the case when we get there or will it be sit anywhere?

    Also doesn’t help that there was an issue linking the accounts so one ticket was ordered separately and is therefore on its own.  Oh and they only sent 5 of the 6 ordered.

    Been very interesting to see if they sell out the Jimmy Seed next week
    Just went on The Viking’s forum and evidently they have only sold around 600 so far......which, if true, is extremely disappointing.
    As usual for the away team, they have been given the entire Jimmy Seed.....3000+.
    If they beat us Sunday they'll get to about 1,500

    Covered End will be starting a thread 5 minutes after full time allowing fans to vent their anger on subjects such as:

    Having to sit in allocated seats
    Wanting to sit in your allocated seat only to find it occupied
    People standing
    People sitting
    The effects of pyrotechnics on asthma
    The weight of pool tables and how easy/hard they are to turn over
    The smashing up of toilets.

    He will of course collate all the complaints and process them into a spread sheet with the results hopefully being published in time for the home leg.
