Anyone going to this? More to the point would anyone fancy picking me up from Coventry on the way? Will pay petrol money/share driving/cook you a nice dinner

I am. Think this is a must for town fans in London.
I got my train ticket from Kings Cross for £20 return and it's only about an hour and a half journey as well. Only problem is I hear it's a bit of trek from the nearest station (Meadowhall) to the Don Valley.
Going up with a load of Cardiff fans who have Doncaster that day.
Last time I went there I saw Kelly Holmes break the British 800m or 1500m record.

Yes I'll be there as bs said above it's quite easy from London, get into Sheffield around 12.45 i think. The Don valley is on the end of the tram line, about 15 mins apparently.

Where did you get it for £20? Can't find that price anywhere.

Got it a couple of weeks ago on Trainline. Just seen they've gone up to about £45 on there now.
A lot to pay out so soon after Christmas. Sorry for giving out false hope.

No worries. Might still go anyway.  :)

Hope we take a few hundred to this, will be a tricky game for sure! Ill be there, up from plymouth, crash at mates at sheffield uni and then long journey back down to plymouth

I saw in the millennium at the Don Valley.  Messy night

Got cheap Virgin first class tickets to Manchester when they went on sale so it's a weekend up there with 45 min train journey to and from Sheffield.

Just tried to buy a ticket from Kings Cross, no go, no trains from there to Sheffield!!!  Got to go to St Pancras!!  Through trains every half hour or so from there, £45 return.

You are correct it is St Pancras.

Yeah St Pancras to Sheffield, but I'm going via Doncaster to Meadowhall so its Kings Cross for me. There isn't much difference in journey time anyway.
Will this possibly be our lowest away following of the season? Haven't heard many people saying they're going? Not great timing to have such a tie after Xmas when so many went are going to Torquay, Northampton, Wigan and Barnet tonight.

Probably will be our lowest, as we've had some big games and big followings recently, no one has endless pockets. Sure there will be 300 odd at least though.

The Withdean-esq view from the away end put me off this one, won't be going to Rotherham until they get a ground of their own.

Coming over from Belfast for this, finally been permitted a weekend off work. Can't stay caged in Belfast with all that's going on under Di Canio these days, very excited, even if it is a shit ground.

Thought about going, but like others it's just too much money after all the recent fun!

might be going,.....see my other fred!

I shall be making my way up to Rotherham with the animal that is ibelieveinmrreeves.  The appeal of watching football in a desolate, 25,000 seater athletics stadium was just too much excitement.  I still expect us to take between 300-500 up to The Don Valley.

I might even put £1 on Alex Revell scoring the first goal, it is bound to happen, we all know that.

That's it now! I ain't coming again.

This is my very first post, so please be gentle with me.

I notice there's alot of people sounding like they live in the London area. Is there an organised "London Robins" type of group or anything that travels to matches ?

I live in Hertford, and the wife is always demanding the car, so makes travel difficult. basically, I'm afetr sponging the occasional lift. I am very much a part time supporter nowadays, but I have paid my dues previousely.

Oh, and how do you get one of those picture icon things ?

Welcome, whilst its on the agenda are you sure you want to have that user name ?  :)

Hmm i'm not sure whats going on now. If you're genuine and not one of the usual idiots doing new accounts/wind ups then Pm me about london.

I could have gone for "Herts Red", but then I would have sounded like an unimaginative twat

I'll be there on Saturday - what's the parking situation like at the Don Valley?

Dont know, on the train/tram

Hi, I live in denmark hill, can we meet for free love?

Nothing is free in Denmark hill!

Think you've already proved that :smugfu:

SuttonRed - no it's not a wind up.

And what does "Pm me" mean ?
And how do I do it ?

Why are you all being so mean?

Internet Paranoia at its finest!

It's gay love slang!

Pm means private message,its one of the options at the top of the page

I actually welcomed the nice bloke before the sarcasm, he hasn't even been called a cunt yet.

He picked the wrong night to join

Looks like they've just signed Richard Naylor. Available to play tomorrow.
