LiviLion Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 (edited) Just seems like a PR move, done a decent job of it tbf. Wouldn't surprise me if the SFA jump on board and let them in if they can. Edited September 22, 2022 by LiviLion 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melanius Mullarkay Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Doncaster is a shithole. Not as bad as Cowdenbeath though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivo den Bieman Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 They seem to be largely a social media account for an amateur team playing so far down the pyramid they haven't been found by Egyptologists yet. Get them to f**k 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richey Edwards Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 I was born in Doncaster. Let them in. If Ayr United draw them, we can call it the Richey Edwards derby. BTW f**k City. Mon the Rovers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivo den Bieman Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Oldskool Gretna needed a letter of permission every year from the SFA to take part in the FA Cup, when they played in the Northern Premier League. That said : * Gretna were a Scottish club playing in the English system back then; *Gretna is right on the border *Gretna were a credible semi pro team in the 1990s, a mixture of old Carlisle United boilers and semi-pro Geordies who had histories with the likes of Blyth, Gateshead, strong Northern League clubs. (see here: ....not a made up publicity hungry Sunday league outfit 200 miles south of the border with no infrastructure, a 46 year old keeper who do battle with teams called "Sheffield Medics" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossBFaeDundee Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 That team is 100% at it for social media clout, had a quick look at them after I wanted to look at what noted ex-Dundee legend Martin Woods was up to, and had been coaching for them I believe. That being said, the history fanatic in me loves the bringing up of the 1136 Treaty of Durham and the Scottish 'claim' to Doncaster. It's the same kind of minor oversight thing that makes the 1965 peace accords between the Soviet Union and Berwick-upon-Tweed funny to me. Tl;dr, if the town of Doncaster claims fealty to Scotland, I'd be happy to welcome this team in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullyweehutch Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 All they need to say is that it will benefit 2 clubs and leave a brown envelope on Neil Doncasters desk. Voilà, they are now in! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otis Blue Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 One "Doncaster" in Scottish fitba' is enough FFS ... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivo den Bieman Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 This is their league: https://www.teamstats.net/league/ev2-sportswear-sheffield-and-hallamshire-county-senior-league/division-2/league-table Step 13 on the English pyramid. One or two steps above a kick about in the park with your kids. Thanks but no thanks lads. No credibility at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith_Raver Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Gateshead tried to join the Scottish league twice back in the 60s and 70s but were rebuffed. Wigan Athletic also wanted to joinwhen they were a non league club. I don't see this Doncaster outfit getting SFA membership. Mind you, Queen's Park played in the English Cup final twice.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
