That might have summit to do with we made 2 changes and they made about 4 at the same side. Typical radio newcastle clueless . I'd rather check updates on my phone than listen to the clowns who commentate our match on there

These days you would expect it to be exclusive to home fans. The Pub on thr retail park was rammed. The supporters club had loads of staff on a good atmosphere and was cheaper. I suppose it was quite a new thing because I've never been in a bar built within the ground before entering the match.

Doncaster urinals are badly designed imo. Got piss sprayed all up me hand from the fucker next to me. Don't get that sort of backsplash from the ones at the sol.

You need to be a home supporter and have a match ticket to get in.

Aye, suppose we when build the fan zone might be better, just not sure our climate lends itself to too much open air drinking and / or there will be some premier mobs trying to take the piss

If he'd stayed in the ground it would have kicked off, handbags were definitely out like. He was wanting a go at every ferker.

Felt sorry for the Doncaster fans last night. To me, their ground seems to be another generic soulless new build put in the middle of nowhere with a brewster bear's or whatever that family pub was as the only viable close by drinking location.
We take for granted just how good we have it up here.
The worst one I've experienced is Brighton. It's a train journey or 20 min car drive in any direction from civilisation.

The SoL has architectural character? The brickwork on the West Stand is OK but the rest is 'generic new build'. The saving grace is that there's plenty of pubs around and it's not in the middle of nowhere (albeit near the Nirvana of Suddick).

Doncaster's stadium is just a small part of the retail park though. One minute you're browsing M&S and walking past Greggs, next minute you're outside your turnstile. Soulless. The Town Centre's a dump mind so it's no surprise they opted to build a retail park & football stadium elsewhere.
Fair play to the liaison officer on here. I also noticed another two liaison officers outside the ground too which is a rarity. Only complaint - one of the lasses in our group had her deodorant confiscated at the turnstile. We were stopping overnight & she'd taken it in her handbag. Pretty unreasonable of the steward I thought. That slight issue aside, the stewards in the main were extremely pleasant! Happy to let us go put our flags on the seats etc and I seen 2 or 3 stewards joining in with the "terrace" banter from one bloke without getting arsey because he was enjoying himself.
The bar inside the ground is a good idea. Not often we've got seats and a table directly outside our turnstile for pints and a bit bait before KO.
Good trip all in all.

Is it true that only about 200 yorkies turned up for the match? If so, hang your head mate

TBF apart from the size the SOL isn't exactly a building of great architectural beauty. Also the old ground was almost the exact same distance away from the town centre, though I suppose you did have the benefit of the racecourse being opposite and a couple of pubs on the way down Bennethorpe. The town centre if you know the way is only a 20 minute walk, there's also other pubs within less walking distance, obviously though away fans aren't going to know that and as such is situated in and around some crappy industrial/retail buildings, just like the SOL....
Harsh, I live down here, from Durham and it's certainly no worse than Sunderland, with more green and open spaces. It's simply a typical Northern town. The ground, well it depends how you approach it - it's also on the Lakeside, if you approach it from Bawtry Road you have the Racecourse and Golf Club, as well as Bennetthorpe (if coming from Town) which is actually quite nice, and the walk to it from town isn't much more of a walk than crossing Wearmouth Bridge towards the SOL from the City Centre.
