Doncaster v Walsall
Jason Price (achilles and back) could return to Doncaster's squad, and James Coppinger (ankle) may be available.
Sean McDaid, Steve Roberts and Paul Green, second-half subs in the 2-0 win over Cheltenham, are all pushing boss Sean O'Driscoll for starting places.

Walsall manager Richard Money is still without Ian Roper as the defender struggles with a viral infection.

He is therefore likely to name an unchanged team after Saturday's 1-0 victory over Hartlepool.

A defeat I'm afraid. We NEVER get anything at Donny. Ever.

I'm worried about turning up and not being able to get in or missing some of the game because of their ticket office. It'll show me for not planning in advance.

Away fans are located in the North Stand at one end of the stadium, where around 3,344 fans can be accommodated. Clubs with a smaller following will be allocated around a third to two thirds of that number meaning that on those occasions the end is shared with home supporters. The view of the playing action, leg room, and facilities in this stand are all good, although fans are set well back from the pitch as there is a substantial tarmac looking track which surrounds it.

The concourses are a good size and there are a number of televisions on view to keep supporters entertained. Pies (including the Chicken Balti pie), pasties and vegetarian 'Pizza Pods are supplied by Shire Foods and cost £2.30 each. Burgers and Hot Dogs are also available as well as alcohol.
The stadium is completely no smoking.



God damn, I hate that, I'm always late arriving when I get to a ground like that, Darlo was the same I seem to remember.
I'm going straight from work, and it's a racing certainty that I'll be finishing late on Tuesday!


There is no quick way to Donny from the Leeds area, it's either a 100 mile (or seems like it) trip via the M62 and A1.
Or a crawl through Wakefield in the rush hour, and then cross country, but about half the milage.

But it will all be worth it when we come away with another vital three points, (here's hoping that our awful record away to donny comes to a shuddering halt!) :wink:



Any chance you can dump the motor and get the train Moanin?
Me and my dad will be getting a train at about 5:45 - from Leeds - only takes about half an hour on a quick un.


You must be on same train as Geordie then?
As his arrives in Donny at 6.15 or something?

In view of the fact you're not going I change my prediction to a Walsall win :D

So far you've been to Leyton Orient, Gillingham, Swansea and Bournemouth and we've lost them all. You've missed Millwall and Hartlepool and we won both, keep up the good work mate! :wink:

Remember 2 wins in early/mid 90s.... 3-0 on a really sunny last day of season in 93 & 2-0 in April 95 in our promotion season. Admittedly there was a 4-0 hammering in the season between those wins. Think we must be due another win tonight 2-1.

was just about to post about this. Just spoke to a mate in Donny who said something about a problem due to under 18s allegedly being served inside the ground and as a result no ale on sale inside tonight, its in their local press apparently. Doesn't affect me as I'm driving anyway

Fox for a foul on Wilson and Mooney for not standing 10 yards at the resulting free-kick.

Mattis also been booked.

Sounds (on Saddlers World) like we're getting a right hammering from them up until now.

Hopefully they'll run themselves out and we'll get back into the game, otherwise this might be a right belting.

Less than 30 minutes gone and Ishmel now booked to add to Mooney and Fox. Can we end up with eleven men on the pitch? We can hardly afford suspensions with our depleted squad.

Now a Donny yellow card, seems like the Ref is a right OTT prat with the cards. :evil:
