Quote: WANDERER "Much of what you say makes good sense and I sincerely thank you for your concern but we recently called a meeting to update fans of the situation at the Club and only 40 people turned up which supports much of what Karlos has said.

The reality is that when you take off the travelling support, our regular support at home games (ignoring the Toulouse game with its freebies) is probably in the region of 600. Of those something like 40 or 50 have been involved in various activities such Supporters Trusts, Supporters Groups and other similiar committees and groups.

Each time something new is tried, you can gaurantee it will fall to some or many of those same people to try and make it happen.

The remaining 550 will attend on match day but appear to have little or no interest beyond that. Indeed a Club that once had a travelling support that was the envy of many of the lower division Clubs is lucky to get more than a handful at away games. There were about 50 supporters from Doncaster at Featherstone recently for a local derby which is 25 minutes away by road.

You make a number of valid points but the truth of the matter is that some of the things you suggest have been tried before either by the Club itself or groups of supporters and sadly it seems that [sizethe vast majority of people in Doncaster do not care if there is a Professional / Semi Professional Rugby League Club in the town.[/size'"


Agree with your last comment-but what's the alternative?
If a supporters trust is maintaning a RL team in Rochdale then its worth a shot-it may be your last chance.
The only proviso that i would recommend is that the existing management have absolutely nothing to do with the running of the club as i'd stake money on it been doomed to failure before its been given any chance if they are.
Keep RL going in Doncaster and every traditional RL area or else the games up.

Meeting at the Drum next Tuesday 7.30 kick off, the more the merrier, believe it will be hard graft for first few weeks, but worth it to keep the Don s alive.

kcab sfrawdder Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg



Best of luck with it

Quote: Marshland "If all fails what would happen to money raised for a trust'"


When a Supporters Trust is set up the committee and it's members bust agree of their terms of reference, which is to say the aims towards which it strives. This has to be done legally as the comittee are acting as trustees for it's members and need to be accountable for their money.

If the club falls out of existence, the committee have the right to distrobute the money to causes etc which are deemed compatible with those terms of reference.

For example, a supporters trust could have amongst it's objectives this pretty standard one:

"Promote and Encourage inclusion into the game of Rugby League for all; regardless, of age, sex and background"

In which case the money could be donated to groups with the same objective (ie local amataur teams, scholarship schemes etc)
