| Quote Red Red Robin="Red Red Robin"It was an amazing feeling to know that we were going up but if we had lost I shudder to think what could have happened. The temptation to go for broke the following year knowing that the drawbridge was going to go up could have been too much and if we had failed again who knows where we would be now. The licencing system is meant to stop the getting promotion/avoid relegation at any cost approach and the consequences of it failing so I don't see how that side of things can be criticised.'"
You kinda went for broke that year anyway...Paul Mansson was on a big contract for example....but hey you went for it and guess what...you got promoted and didn't go bust...wow it can be done |

| Quote Up the Dons="Up the Dons"I did bud, whilst i was only 13 my Dad took me to every home game.....i was there at the Huddersfield game, 3 major memories
a) Hudds fans singing 'the Dons are staying down...staying down...staying down'
b) Vila Matautia scoring a match winning try but before grounding the ball holding it in one hand...something me dad frowned upon
c) a can of coke costing......50p!!!! FIVTY BLOOMIN PENCE!!!!!!!
Great memories tho...and of course i was at Mount Pleasent in the promtion game against Batley....its what promotion is all about'"
Didn't the Dons get into huge financial strife that season in the top division IIRC? |

So if you love the spectacle of the sport, why would you give up on it because of a disagreement on whether P&R should be on just on-field results or should also include off-field criteria too? |

And that is what sport is about.
Memories of matches and occasions that last a whole lifetime.
Even for Doncaster fans.  |

I still go from time to time...i'll not give up just yet....i'm just happy im not a Barrow or a fev fan...then i might have something real to moan about........but i know what your saying, i'll be back supprting the Dons....still no debate will ever change my mind, i disagree with the franchise sysytem and always will. |

As do clubs in SL , and clubs in the Championship , so your point is ?
And which clubs went up and came down in financial trouble ?
Don't suggest Leigh , that is a myth , we broke even |

A better statement would be to support doncaster,cancel sky and refuse to support any event that sl are associated with. |
