    Yes, York is a big confectionery centre. Both Rowntrees and Terry's are/were York brands.

Anyway, turns out there's a stronger feeling that our nickname is The Vikings, because there's one on our crest and that time the club bought a job lot of Viking helmets and gave them out at Conference games. I'll try again in a year or two.
      Despite not being a fan of Doncaster, I am more than happy to support any campaign that results in someone getting the nickname The Butterscotch Men.

        It certainly suggests some interesting colourways for change kits.

          Also sounds like an entry in Urban Dictionary.

            It's probably because it's rubbish and nobody can work out what on earth Doncaster has to do with Vikings.

            The Kevin Keegans or The John Parrs (You Know, The Bloke Who Sang 'St Elmo's Fire')s would be more fitting.

                  John Parrs for goalposts?

                      Well I laughed.

                      I keep hearing and seeing the "Shrews" a lot more often then I should, like fucking never.

                      Salop it is and always should be.

                        Come on now, we've suffered enough over the years without this.

                            Has to be 3. Anything with an animal is good, and 2 resembles Köln’s goat. Caversham Bridge is boring.

                              I've read about three explanations of why Bolton care called 'The Trotters' and I'm still none the wiser.

                                I love 'The Shakers'. It comes from the 1892 Lancashire Cup final versus Blackburn when the chairman, JT Ingham, told the press before the game "We shall shake them. In fact, we are the Shakers".

                                Which makes it all the more frustrating that some of our younger fans now refer to us as 'The Shaggers'.

                                  Really? I've always assumed that it was related to that religious sect who made furniture. They originated in Lancashire I think and I just assumed. This 19th century bantz explanation is far less interesting. Now someone is going to tell me Darlington are called the Quakers because of their tendency to visible fear
