PART ONE OF an intermittent series follows over the next days, which shall chronicle the trials and tribulations of Doncaster Rovers 2006/07 footballing adventure, broken down into easily digestible, monthly chunks.

Or, as is more likely the case, vast tracts of bloated tedium from the season will be largely washed over in two or three sarcastically composed sentences.

Did Rovers get off to a flier in their inaugural game of the campaign at Carlisle, did Dave Penney lead us to promotion? Did the new stadium materialise, did Dave Parker disappear in a puff of self-important wind? Trevor Milton still hanging about is he?

Of course, most of you reading this know the answers to all of these questions already, but it’s fun to remember isn’t it? And even if it’s not fun per-se, it’s still *more* fun than refreshing the Viking forum every 10 minutes in the vain hope of a waft of news being blown our way.

I think.
