| Quote SteveRoebuck="SteveRoebuck"I would like to see the club maybe do a trial run game at Castle Park to see how viable it is. The Keepmoat is quite depressing with 500-1000 in, especially when you have to walk past facilities that are not open.
I do realise that once we leave the Keepmoat we will never get back in but to be honest that doesn't bother me. I would rather see the Don's in the current division playing against traditional clubs than go bankrupt trying to get into Sooper Dooper League.
Back to the young 'uns they need someone to look upto a "star" player if you like as a kid I remember Audley being used by the council on a road safety poster.
Just look at football, kids wear shirts of the star players, the goal scorers the creators even sometimes the loveable rogues, but rarely do you see people with the solid 100% player who never does anything special. For me that is what the club is missing and exciting/exotic player.
I have no proof of what I am about to say but I would imagine that any Eagles fan with a replica shirt with a name on it has the one of one of their trio Pacific islanders on it...how many do you think have a Peter Green shirt?'"
Good idea. They should look into playing the Eagles game at Castle park and try giving it the big sell. I'm sure this would draw a better than average attendance.

| Would they want us at Castle Park. I know some fans who wouldn't go there either.

Why would any one not want to go to CP? Good facilities, close to the action, good value quality food and real ale on tap...
I know on the Knights forum they have said they have been in talks with the Dons before but nothing ever came from it, so i don't think they would have a problem with us using their facilities.
I would certainly be a better atmosphere than what we have now. The Keepmoat is like playing on the moon.

| Didn't the Dons sign an agreement to play at the keepmoat last year?, can't remember length of deal, 5 years springs to mind, could be wrong .

I seem to remember something on these lines having been reported. Can't be sure though.
If the Dons and the Rovers are going to be working closer together, and sharing office work, as I also believe was reported, I can't see how we could realistically move away from the Keepmoat.
As I mentioned earlier, there seem to be more cons than pros to moving homes ... this being one of them.

| London Broncos in all their different guises have played at various locations in the London area since there formation in 1980
Fulham.Crystal Palace.Chiswick,Barnet.Charlton(Twice)Brentford & Harlequins plus a few one off games at other football grounds.
They still cant attract a decent crowd.

| If it is not possible for immediate post match reaction then how about on the end of the highlights package? Also would it help to have commentary on the highlights? I know it's more expense and time but it would put names to faces and help to create Heros ect as discussed , for what it's worth imo castle seems to be a good option .

| It'd be a good idea to have commentaries on highlights. It would make it seem more professional too.
The idea of interviews with players on the pitch straight after the game is a no cost way of bringing all the match day fans and players together immediately.
Players sharing their emotions with the fans in this way will make everyone feel closer together. Even after a defeat, if the supporters can see how much losing means to the players, it's got to help to get the fans down next time, when they may otherwise think the players don't care, and not come back.
At the moment, I'm hoping the last play of the game is near to us, otherwise most of the fans have gone by the time the players reach us, and it's embarrassing as a fan to see so few supporters left. It can't do much for the players either.
This is a no cost way of doing something positive. Most initiatives cost money but this one would cost nothing.

As the guy who knocks up the highlights at the moment, the lad who did the commentaries last year is currently in Australia, but its something I've thought about getting someone to do..
