 Welling United 1 Doncaster Rovers 1   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
However, there wasn't much of an appeal from the Rovers fans, though player manager Ian Snodin forgot he was employed by Doncaster and began his afternoon of trying to referee the match himself.
Doncaster's defence looked susceptible to the ball through or over them, but Welling's midfield were struggling to produce the telling ball, and up front, Darren Adams in particular was completely uninterested in making anything of it.
Doncaster's game degenerated completely, and Snodin became increasingly involved in a spat with the home fans, even having to be dragged away by the referee at one point, though I bet the incident won't be included in the referee's report as he failed to take any action.

 Match Report: Leyton Orient 1 Doncaster Rovers 3   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Rovers were pinned back in their own half for much of the opening half hour, and Orient came close on several occasions.
Alexander was a constant source of trouble for the Rovers defence, and several chances came and went, through a mix of last-ditch defending, good goalkeeping or just not hitting the target.
The fact that Rovers did not score more was probably due to their realisation that they didn’t have to, to win.

 BIAS :: Doncaster Rovers :: Saturday, 12th March 2005
Doncaster Station is just under two miles away, so you are probably best taking a taxi to the ground.
If you do have time on your hands and you fancy the long walk then it is a fairly straight route from the railway station; Leave the station and proceed straight ahead, (possibly around various work huts that keep appearing as the area is being re-developed), and cross the road by the pelican crossing.
Suffice it to say that rogue elements of the club were convicted of trying to burn down the ground and around that time the club lost its league status and wallowed in the conference for many years.

Doncaster’s big no.4, a very strong defender but nothing more than a donkey really, almost scored an own goal when he sliced a clearance just wide; it was curling goalwards, but not quite quickly enough.
Doncaster always looked likely to score, with the number 4 seeing a free header hit Barrett's right post and rebound towards the goal only for Scott to palm the ball away.
To their credit, Doncaster defended well and had some welcome experience in Paul Birch in midfield.

Our Pontins league side secured their first win of 2004 and a first double of the season after overcoming basement side Doncaster Rovers thanks to second half goals from Lee Bowyer and Andy Ferrell on Thursday afternoon.
Ameobi was the provider, picking up the ball and making progress down the Newcastle left, before pulling back a low cross from the byline for Bowyer to tap home with ease from close range at the far post.
Rovers rallied and forced two memorable saves from Adam Collin in the Newcastle goal on 70 and 73 minutes, his opposite number in the visitor's net denying Ferrell two minutes later with a double stop.

For the rest of the game Doncaster piled on relentless pressure but their efforts when unrewarded, thanks largely to a magnificent performance at the back by Lee Shearer in one of his best games for Dover.

Doncaster did have one very good chance to equalise in the first half but Paul Hyde palmed away a low bobbling shot and the Dover defence managed to scramble the ball away.
After a couple of half chances, Doncaster eventually breached the Athletic defence after 63 minutes when Watson cross was turned into the net by Michael Turner who did well to hold of both Shearer and Hyde.

 Doncaster Rovers Club Profile
When they first came down to the Conference Donny fans suffered more than most ex-League clubs from a huge collective chip on their shoulders - unsurprisingly really given the fact that their club had barely escaped alive after the predations of the disgraced Richardson regime when a concerted effort was made to bankrupt the club.
Gradually however the real Rovers fans emerged - passionate about their football and their team, yes, but welcoming and generous too, as over 1,000 Glovers found out when visiting Belle Vue last April to witness and celebrate Yeovil's capture of the Conference title and their promotion to Division 3.
The pub is divided into three smallish rooms: a lounge doubling as a restaurant (lunchtimes only) though you can eat anywhere; a snug with a roaring log fire in winter, which is No Smoking; and a tap room, which has a television.
