1D Guy (??) playing for Doncaster tonight

scudzilla

One of the guys (???) from One Direction is playing for Doncaster Rovers reserves tonight, they normally sell a hundred or so tickets, toniight they've sold 5,000!!!

This is what happened when he played a friendly last year, got tackled, fell down, got subbed and threw up.

Pretty bad when a team has to resort to this to make a few quid

Many teams outside the PL are on their knees financially. Seems a pretty obvious thing to do imo.

Someone might fancy making a name for themselves and go in and leave a bit on him early.

I'd be surprsied if he didnt just make a sub appearance late on.

It's ****ing genius marketing tbh. What a way to raise 50k or more.

Completely disagree. It's a great way to bring in a big crowd. It'll bring in people who are 1 Direction fans, it'll bring people who want to see a popstar play in a professional football game (whether to laugh at him, or just see it to believe it), and they'll likely bring in more away fans.

As said before, it's genius marketing. It'll probably bring in a few people who'll become long-term fans too

And look! He's on Football Manager!!!

It is for a great charity:

The club said more than 4,000 tickets had been sold for the match against Rotherham United in aid of Bluebell Wood Children's Hospice.

OP didn't know his name I'd imagine.

Melchester Rovers tried a similar gimmick in the eighties. It wasn't popular with their fans.

It's in the video he took time to search for though.

I thought it was more a 'I am a proper man who only listens to heavy metal, and will question the gender of anyone in the music world who falls outside this' kind of thing.

Jeez, that's a bit of a leap for two question marks...

He invests in it.

Sir Gallagher

I thought the reaction to him getting taken out of it by Agbonlahor during the Petrov testamonial was fairly disgusting. If he's giving Doncaster a dig out by doing this then fair play to him.

Chucky the tree

I thought you were referring to a 1 dimensional guy. That would have been far more interesting.

The reaction towards him or towards Agbonlahor? Because the latter was ridiculous.

That's about a local pub team not Doncaster Rovers....

Some of the abuse of this lad gets from football fans is so brainless that it makes him look a lot better in comparison. He's not even as annoying as the Irish one.

Ah the Irish one. Good old Niall Horan, "throw on that England jersey there Niall like a good man."

Clearly you wear what Simon tells you to wear as well as think what he tells you to think.

I was going to say, "and you suck what Simon tells you to suck" but thought it a bit crass.
