the reason these lads did stop coming down was due to the way the club have handled the situation, to tell the lads no contracts were to be given was bad enough but at 15 parents should have been present,i wasnt.we was told scholarship ended april and things change all the time. we have brought the lads though to training in our cars paid by ourselves,all winter never late, and attended auction night when thick snow and we attended matches to show support ,so you question commitment .the lads felt let down , and my lad one of them from myton and have spoken to pat to have a meeting and he is returning to finish his scholarship.if super league clubs interested in these players they must be good players and then the club should show a bit of faith in them.the idea of a scholarship system is to bring players though,not get to 16 and end other wise the club is only offering training and shouldnt be called a scholarship

scholarships should bring local talent to the club, the only problem is south yorkshire isnt as strong as in other areas, thats why hull lads came to doncaster to help raise the standard . we came though to doncaster in our own cars at own expense and as you said its not all about money but to be given a chance in pro game.with the problems at the club it doesnt look good, and you will probably know our problems with scholarship ended in march as there wasnt anything at the end of it for the lads, pat said he would be in touch about scholarship running though to september but not been in touch since then, your luck may change as 2 of our lads have been playing for hull kr foundation academy, so dont give up hope , as you never know who may be watching you ,just enjoy your rugby, good luck

Scholarship starts again Thursday 18th June

Sorry to go on, but don t you get fed up with how things have been done & how people have been treated in the past and unfortunately recently.

This is the time to step up to the plate with a Supporters Trust and run the club between us to promote young Doncaster players and give them the opportunity to play for their home town club.

What would be the template for a club run by a supporters trust and how would it be financed, who would have the final say in matters and how would a club official who was not up to the job be removed from office.

Only asking because i'm sure it would take a lot more looking after than just a supporters club.

Each member would have one vote. A commitee/board would be democratically elected by the trust members, and would answer to them in turn.
