Just been on the Parking Space App to book a space for tomorrow and guess what, it' not working. What a load of rubbish. Typical Dons. States can't book this space. Try different time or different space.

Looks like they've rushed this through without much thought. Seems as though we're being used as guinea pigs tomorrow so they can iron out the flaws. It is beyond belief that they could think notifying us less than 24 before a match is remotely acceptable.

I can't get any sense out of the PC version of Parking Space.

I wonder how the car park passes fit in with this set up? The two don't seem compatible. I wonder why the club never thought to mention this in their communication?

Poor show, I'm afraid.

DM, Rovers put this out prior to their home game against Newport County on 13/01/24. I thought the Club Doncaster umbrella would have covered this. Like Tatty, I have just tried to use the online site and its bloody awful,and didn't recognise the Eco Power stadium on the search box. I suggest you ring the Box Office and see if they can assist https://www.doncasterroversfc.co.uk/new ... ing-trial/

Call the ticket office on 01302 762576 after 12. I can't imagine this is going to run smoothly! It is working for me, I have added some filters to this one so should take you to the Keepmoat and give parking between 1pm and 7pm for £5. As far as I am aware passes are valid but I will try ad find out. https://www.yourparkingspace.co.uk/sear ... z9mMZKh5iA

That does need ironing out Jemmo. Gives car park 3 which might as well be in Hyde Park and car park 1 which is for Stadium staff I understand and is strictly taboo to park in there. Not a pop at you (as if) but it wont affect the people running both arms of Club Doncaster why should the give a monkeys. I can see some private car park fines being dished out as a result of this.

I agree, it's been done very badly. I very rarely use the car park but trying to help people out. Not sure why Car Park 2 (which is the main one people use) isn't even listed.

Someone has posted on Facebook that passes can be used

Re: Dons v Sheffield Sunday 4th February 3pm 1895 Cup : Sun Feb 04, 2024 10:49 am  

Thanks for everyone's help. My Car Park pass is for Car Park Two. I didn't have to give my car reg when I bought the pass so I've no idea how the car park company could differentiate between me and others. I presume when payments are made through the app you have to enter your reg number for camera recognition purposes?

Until this year, I've always parked near Lakeside and walked round but I thought that with bigger attendances I'd get a car park pass to take the stress out of the situation. It had crossed my mind that Car Park Two might be full a short while prior to kick-off on busy days so I had wondered whether they'd got designated spaces for pass holders. As a pass holder, in theory, I should be able to turn up five minutes before kick-off and get a place. I have full confidence (not) in Club Doncaster to have their finger on the pulse here!

Just seen your post on here Jemmo about a post on Facebook saying passes are valid. Thanks for that. I gather those who are buying by the phone app aren't going in Car Park Two? Maybe, just maybe, there may be a human on this gate checking passes?

As previously said, this could be a right circus with half the fans not in the ground by kick-off. I'm still not sure whether to take the safe option and park round Lakeside and keep clear of this fiasco.

Once upon a time, sellers would try to make life easier for buyers. Nowadays, the buyer has to conform to the wishes of the seller whether they like it or not. I feel as though society is bullying me into buying a Smartphone that I do not need other than to pay the likes of car park charges on a bloody app!

Be interesting to see what everyone thinks regarding the handicap for the game, I'd have us as slight favourites perhaps-4pts

Re: Dons v Sheffield Sunday 4th February 3pm 1895 Cup : Sun Feb 04, 2024 12:05 pm  

I think the bookies would probably give us 10 or 12 points start. Sheffield are proven at Championship level. We've not proven anything yet. They'd be cautious and side with Sheffield.

Here are my thoughts:

1) If we win, we should feel quite confident we'll be at least good enough to stay up.

2) If we win by 16 or more, that's probably top 8 form.

3) If we lose by 12 to 20, welcome to life in the Championship - nothing is going to be easy.

4) Lose by more than 20, and it'll be a serious reality check.

Okay, we shouldn't read too much into one game but these are the markers I've got in mind.

I'm hoping for a six point win for the Dons.

If i saw anything close to us getting 8 or 10 I'd sell both my kidneys and stagger to the bookies! Last season maybe 12 or 14 but the recruitment and the fact we're at home i really fancy us, man for man i wouldn't swap our team for theirs.
