DOWN BOY! GET IN YOUR BASKET.

I am off to Chesterfield this afternoon, meeting with a couple of my Blog readers (there aren't many) and we are going to see if the Spireites, at the Proact Stadium, can make anything out of Donny Dog, the well known Doncaster Rovers mascot-we all associated dogs with Doncaster, don't we? Or was it horses, or trains? Big game and more importantly a visit to the new ground. I had been to Saltergate on a very miserable, cold Boxing Day some years ago now.
Chesterfield have a mouse as their mascot! Heaven knows who is inside.

The Doncaster mascot, whose outer costume once concealed one Andrew Linley, was arrested on the outskirts of Huddersfield Town FC on the 4th March 2006, when police cited "unspecified police intelligence" and refused him entry to the ground in the costume. He was not allowed anywhere near the stadium! The police later sent him an apology.

In June 2011 the mascot was then "portrayed" by a lady, Tracy Chandler, who was relieved (to use an inappropriate word maybe) of her duty due to a photograph that she had published in a sunday newspaper, of her in underwear. She was later reinstated and certainly made a name for herself.

Probably excited by Tracy, another mascot, Eric the Viking appeared in 2013 with yellow hair, helmet and other paraphenalia. The photo below is not Eric.
