Donny fans are having an absolute meltdown. 4 weeks without a manager, 140 applicants and they give youth team manager Gary McSheffrey the job.

Gary McSheffrey, star of ‘Utterly forgettable Town cameos, volume 461”, sandwiched in between Clint Marcelle and Russell Slade’s lad, Steve.

Was a quality player, and a goal machine. Sadly, about ten years before we signed him.

It's only a 10 page thread. The meltdowns on here look like cataclysmic events in comparison and that's just at the deconstruction of a flag.

I've had a look as well and the fans are directing their anger towards the board, not the new manager. I remember when Doncaster were at Belle Vue, absolute hovel and crowds around the 1500 mark. And now we look up at them, their town has moved forward as well while ours has stagnated.

I don’t mean this as a criticism of our owners but Doncaster (and countless others) are a great example of new stadium crowd increases. Blundell Park (like Belle Vue was) is a dump and it puts people off attending matches. Doncaster moved to a new stadium with good facilities and no restricted views and crowds skyrocketed. Stockwood has said a couple of times that they’ll consider a new stadium when BP is consistently full, but that will never happen because it’s a dump where the majority of good seats are already gone to season ticket holders. Build it and they will come. And that’s why we’ve fallen behind countless teams that were considered smaller clubs with less potential than us when I started supporting Town in the early 90s. Doncaster fans think being at the bottom of L1 is a catastrophe- a level we can only dream of playing at.

But they had to burn their own ground down/blow it up (allegedly) to get a new one!

I agree to some extent about the new ground, ‘build it and they will come’ mantra but it’s also reassuring that we’ve got a set of owners willing to truly explore all avenues and not waste club money chasing a dream whilst leaving BP to rot…they’ve recognised that it needed some TLC for those that do attend and it’s been refreshing to see consistent attendances at BP, well, when we’re not in a play off or relegation dogfight. There are some excellent examples of teams investing in the right ways and getting that balance and my view has always been to gather the ideas that would work best for us and put them to the test…Lincoln and Donnie are two that come to mind, I’m sure others can name a few more…
