Still recovering from Championship wages with a rich chairman.

Donny have spent a large chunk of their history in Non League.


Five seasons in the conference ( 1998-2003 ) and that's your lot since WWII....hardly a large chunk Lew

Defence is all important this coming season, winning by the odd goal will become the common situation IMO, we will need a quality keeper as competition for Macca.

For most of my life, Town have bounced backwards and forwards between Division 2 and Division 4. So League 1 seems about right to me, if we ignore this conference blip.

Donny was always a small time club until they built their new ground , most the people of Donny went and watched Leeds .
I've been there three times and all three we have out numbered the home fans .
Carlisle are about the same size as us and for all of the 80s and 90s Blackpool were getting a lot lower attendances than us and was always in leagues lower than us.
The new generation of town fans have no idea how successful this club once was

We have never spent much time in L1 ,

We just use it to get to the league above or below,

When we are on a up we go up again ,

When we are on a downer we go through L1 and down again.

Chesterfield comment on signing Nolan. Didn't know they had a history of being any good

"I suppose there is a certain level of satisfaction that we can shaft little tinpot teams like Grimsby the same way teams like Wigan can shaft us"


Christ you all wanted him sacked a few months ago. 6th place finish and he's now the messiah and can do no wrong  
Update:  I think I've got this right - He was the messiah. He then wasn't. He then was again. Then it turned out he actually wasnt. He turned into one big huge messiah again. Now he's not actually the messiah we thought he was . Now I'm hoping he rises again quickly

Don't worry about those buggers. Can't even build a church without cocking the spire up.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Quoted from pontoonlew
It's hilarious to see Doncaster putting us down and claiming they're a big club after our promotion.

Doncaster have NEVER been a bigger club than us. In league position over the past 10 years yes, but never before that. Parity is gradually being restored.

Saying that they're increasing their budget next year, last year it was £4.5m! Absolutely eye watering stuff.


They averaged 6,500 last season, that's more than we have managed for decades, so they are right now a bigger club than us. What we did 10 or 20 years ago is irrelevant.
