Sat, 16th Aug. 2014. Doncaster Rovers v Port Vale, Pre-match, Match itself.

[Fosse69]

Tough away game against the League leaders, who will no doubt be hoping for a quick return to the Championship.

[SneydGreenValiant]

Will be a decent test for us. Although I feel we will rise to the occasion.

 

Are we expecting to take many?

 

Thoughts?

[Andy Proctor]

i wouldnt be surprised if we lost as i think doncaster will do well this season and our away form wasnt great last season. i reckon we will take around 800 with it being our first away game of the season.

[Seth Bottomley]

Do we need a ticket or is it pay on the day i have seen no ticket info anywhere

[Mcphee4Scotland]

Looking forward to this one. Didn't think Donny would be all that this season in terms of bouncing straight back up with their off-field troubles due to the failed takeover plus up until a few weeks ago they hadn't strengthened or brought any new faces in. Though apparently they have some new faces in now and got off to a flying start.

 

Never been the Keepmoat before, though I went to the old Belle Vue some 10 years ago.

 

Tickets already purchased from the Vale shop if people want to get them before the game. Adult ticket costs £23.

 

Reckon we will probably take around 700-800 fans at a guess? Hard to say really.

 

Anyone know of any decent pubs in the town centre?

I still see them as a Championship team they were immensely unlucky on that last day.

[Desperate Dan]

800 would be a **** poor effort for the first away game of the season, IMO.

[andy jones]

I think 700-800 is about right - new ground could take it up 100 or so.

[bertiepee]

No it wouldn, t . It would be a good away following for a club of our size.desperate dan

[BIRCHES HEAD WHITES]

Would expect 800 /900 to be there not much more , it would still be decent following regardless of what some may think .

[Conrad]

Anyone know if tickets are cheaper in advance as opposed to pay on the day?

[Little_Al]

Tickets are available from the Vale ticket Office. I don't think they are cheaper in advance. £23 adults and £17 concessions.

It's a new ground for a lot of people, it's the first away game of the season, reasonably close, a lot of people like a drink in Yorkshire and surrounding areas and for those that couldn't attend on Saturday (and some who also can't make Tuesday), it's the first opportunity for them to see us in action. Anything less than 1,000 is poor, as I said, IMO!

[NellyTheValiant]

At £23 I'm tempted not to bother, it's £50 before I've even had a pie!

It's not a new ground, we played there in 07-08.

 

I'd be surprised with anything over 500.
