They Think It's All Rovers

Doncaster Rovers Documentary

[@firefly4612]

The way the narrator introduces Danny Bergara as a former Uruguayan youth international haha He played 96 times for Sevilla and Bergara is the first foreign manager to lead an English club out at Wembley Stadium in 1992. Hopefully this does the man more Justice . RIP Danny

[@rd-wj3sh]

Agreed RIP Danny Begara, the injustice but it's no surprise is it He was told as much by Vick Buckingham back in SPain when he fist considered coaching here.

[@Stokie09123]

Watch this, Orient for a Fiver, Big Ron Manager and the Impossible job for an entire afternoon of football incompetence, outright despair and gallows humour.

There’s a Luton one as well but can’t remember what it was called though...

Dont forget Luton Town, trouble at the top

[@simonlilley]

So glad that Doncaster Rovers survived and is now thriving. The fact that Anton Johnson was seen as a saviour is unbelievable given the fact he was banned by the FA in the mid 1980s.

[@StuartVallantine]

I went to the Keepmoat Stadium in 2015 with my team, Stalybridge Celtic (F.A. Cup First Round). A fantastic setup there and a tribute to the people that refused to let the Rovers die.

[@breachtones]

after not buying doncaster he proceeded to purchase scarborough from another fraud in john russell, then essentially bankrupted us!

[@graemeyetts3465]

He was dodgy at Southend United in 1980s 😢

[@keithmullins4400]

Notts County fan here. But just look at em now. Superb stadium, brilliant young manager, and some really good players. The best team in league 2 this season, champions for a reason. How times' change in the beautiful game. Good luck Rovers, you deserve some good times.

It feels like this sort of terrible situation is befalling more and more clubs these days, Coventry, Blackpool, Orient, to name but a few. Doncaster's situation gives hope that things can recover Hats off to all the fans who stuck with the club through those tough times.

Kudos to Doncaster for how they have recovered. Seems a very well run club at the moment.

[@DailyHayley]

I was born 1998. My dad took me as a baby to see the "last game in the football league". Going to Millennium Stadium and Wembley as a kid was amazing! I will never forget! RTID Edit: My grandad! @20:20

[@Alfredromeothatsme]

Need to make a movie on this...comedy or drama doesn't matter!

[@graemeyetts3465]

I had the pleasure of being a Southend away fan at the Keepmoat,as it then was, about 6 or 7 years ago.The result was a comfortable home win though 😢. Its good to see how well run the club now is. We at Southend have gone through and are still suffering similar problems; brought about by disastrous owners.

@@CARLIN4737 in a much better ground for a start!! In a better situation now than they were in the documentary, that's for sure!! Although I don't know their current situation right now. Its got to be better than having an owner that pays someone to try and burn down the main stand of the ground where the club he owns play!!

[@NobletheSavage]

Apparently Mr Weaver turned back up on Twitter last year. I would love to watch an interview with him from the last decade .

[@matthewsalisbury4789]

I'm a year late but Mark Weaver did an interview on a website about what happened to Doncaster Rovers when he was there.

I was about to ask whatever happened to him

[@matthewsalisbury4789]

How are Doncaster 109 places below Arsenal in the football league when the football league and Premiership has a total of 92 teams?

[@PeaveyPV20]

Something similar happening at Gateshead. A arcehole running club into the deck except the council own the stadium and surrounding land so no financial gains to be had. The owner sent his henchman to a recent supporters meeting who answered questions. Still some senior pros in squad but they will probably go soon to be replaced by under 19s

[@sootyjared4208]

[@mjb4983]

a team dragged down by incompetent management is truly sad

[@draathelvete8332]

Although I think the anger on show could've been better used if directed against the opposing sides it's good to see actual passion from fans.

[@draathelvete8332]

Opposing sides are always relevant. They have a direct gain from one club's misfortune while capitalist interests can be a win-win-situation. Even when everything goes wrong you should still consider the few things which were good (not saying things should be milder though, quite the opposite). It's as important for football supporters to have a potential for making threats as it is important for that hate to be used in a constructive way and for the best of that particular team. Lately there has been a worrying tendancy within football culture all over Europe to blame everything on the money in the sport. The more money, the more independant can football be in contrast to other parts of society. Socialist agendas are also used as trojan horses to sell in inter-club organisation, which would basically be the death of lower league clubs as they would be reduced to puppets. I personally support a club which has been run worse than any other club I bloody well know and there are plenty of people around here who'm I wouldn't have mourned, but there really are no shortcuts. The only way is to keep fighting and to fight your own fights, nobody else's. PS. Död åt mff!

[@RTR1879]

Dra åt Helvete The club's self titled 'benefactor' Ken Richardson deliberately ran the club into the ground after the council wouldn't let him sell the ground. The darkest days in the club's proud history. The fans mobilised and gave Richardson and Weaver richly deserved absolute hell.

[@TheIkaraCult]

That's like saying 'stop criticising the government, look at all these other countries trying to take advantage of us!' If you actually care about a club you should be calling out incompetent/maleavolant management. Fair play to the Doncaster fans, i'd love to see a follow up after watching this.

[@Elmwood-ze3cr]

I enjoyed watching this when it first aired. It's always a shame how the smaller clubs in the lower divisions struggle, compared to the Premier League and the Championship. I have to admit I didn't enjoy listening to the verbal abuse on Mr Weaver, whatever his faults,I don't think that's never acceptable. Good to see Doncaster recover though.

What I don’t understand is why that fella Weaver was antagonising the fans by coming the the final game ? My only theory is that he must have wanted to savour being manager/involved at a football match with thousands of people there because he knew he’d never manage again.
