I tried to launch a campaign to get us known as the Butterscotch Men again through the fanzine. Sadly most folk weren't interested (in the campaign not the fanzine... although...). 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.

Originally posted by Simon G View PostI like The Vikings nickname for Doncaster, surprised it hasn't really taken off.
The Kevin Keegans or The John Parrs (You Know, The Bloke Who Sang 'St Elmo's Fire')s would be more fitting.

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
