Quote: "One of the more emotive matters arising from the article is the mention of the Dons away strip being modelled on that of the Rovers home strip. It is in some degree difficult to understand the adverse reaction to this possibility, particularly when in the last three seasons we have had white and black, red and black and grey and pink away strips. The final decision over the 2013 season adopted away strip design lies with the RFL and their formal approval.'"
For the author, this.......
Might I say, that we accept that our away strip will be different to our home strip and that it will probably be different colours.
What we don't (or at least I don't) accept is that it will look like we are Doncaster Rovers in red and white hoops.
That is unacceptable and has been agreed with no reference to the fans or their wishes.
And to say that the final decision is that of the RFL as though somehow they are complicit is somewhat misleading. Their input is merely to rubber stamp what has already been decided, or to object which is unlikely.
PS I have no objection to red and white as long as we don't look like Doncaster Rovers.
