Welcome to the website of the Doncaster Rovers Internet Supporters' Football Team the Donny R'sonists. The team was formed in 1998 by supporters who had fought tirelessly against the regime of ex Rovers 'benefactor' Ken Richardson, and his chief puppet Mark Weaver, who appeared hell bent on driving the club we supported toward the abyss. With Rovers relegated from the Football League and seemingly set to fold, the supporters entered a team into the IFA's annual WorldNET competition as a last hurrah. We took our name in a nod to the known antics of Richardson, had a picture of Manager Mark Weaver (labelled as W*@#ER) on our shirts, and kicked off our opening match with a pantomime horse up front.
Despite our worst fears over the club, Rovers survived the Summer and began the 1998-99 season without the notorious Ken and Mark double act. And our supporters' team enjoyed WorldNET so much we too carried on so 15 years on the R'sonists remain active to offer a 'lest we forget' reminder of where Rovers once were through the medium of mediocre football.
