I think the covered end had its roof, pretty sure being under it that night. From memory , I am sure it was the west stand that was uncovered. Amazing noise at the valley that night.
Rovers have placed tickets for the Sky Bet League One play-off semi-final on general sale.
Supporters wishing to purchase tickets on general sale for the first leg at the Keepmoat Stadium can now do so from the Club Doncaster Box Office.
The club are aware Charlton Athletic are close to selling out their initial allocation and the club will monitor the first day of general sales before making a decision on whether to grant the Addicks any additional tickets.
I read it as a given we get the 800 (once we sell the last 300 odd) and they are umming and aaaaahing over sending us more if their demand is shit and we sell out .
edit: having re read it not so sure ..... but i'm certain they'll send the extra 800 unless their demand goes crazy

It’s all about the away numbers , we’re like a real club with proper away support
it’s like the Ipswich play off home game in 1998 when we had real passionate noise for once from around the ground , I reckon we’ll have some of the same for the home leg .
Special night that one. Rather warm evening if I recall & the roof had come off the West stand making it look a bit surreal. Newton's goal just topped it all off. a bit like this season.........just thought we weren't going to lose once we'd scored.
Incorrect......the roof had been taken off the North Stand.
North stand was roofless for 4-0 final day home defeat to Liverpool in the Prem.
Seriously gutting reading this thread as try as I might I can’t get an ad hoc days leave on Sunday, nor can I find anyone who can cover my shift so will have to miss the short trip (for me) to Doncaster. I don’t want to count chickens but been looking online for train tickets on the 26th and can do a return for less than sixty quid. Not sure whether to book up in expectation. All this stress is doing no good for my inner peace.

No you are wrong. The roof was off the west stand.
So what evening game is it that I’m thinking of where the Covered End roof was off.....could have sworn it was the Ipswich game but I’m obviously mistaken.....sorry about that.

I’m pretty certain it was the last game of the season against Liverpool (0-4 game) 2000/01 season
If (IF) we sell out the full away allocation of over 4K this will be our best away support numbers wise since when?
Not including free travel/operation games and those with reduced ticket prices (7k at Fulham in FA Cup etc)
Baring in mind the kick off time and the distance, plus the un-attractive venue, I’m struggling to think of better in the last 20 odd years?!?
It’s what we should be capable of and makes the numbers at Carlisle (2012) and Blackburn (00) seem even more bizarre, not to mention the previous struggles at local games.
