My own personal reason is that I travel about a lot and I am rarely in Donny for more than a couple of days at a time.

I think the traditional mon-fri, 9-5 working week is slowy dying out. People now tend to work more on an ad-hoc basis (shift work, 0 hours contracts, internet businesses etc.). The days when you all worked in the same place and the weekends were 'leisure' time is slowly changing.

When I was a regular I went for the atmosphere, friends, drinks, singing and shouting random things at men 3 times your size. The success of the team never really mattered to me I as I always knew we were going to stay at the same level. I enjoyed the characters at the club and the interaction between players and fans. I don't honestly know how much of this still applies at the Keepmoat because I have only been to a handful of games but I suspect is has lessened?

I read on another thread about the lack of young fans at the Keepmoat. If this is true, then this is definitely a worrying aspect. I don't know what the prices are like at the rugby but football certainly excludes youths in my opinion. I'm talking about those who are 16-21 who arn't in work or don't get enough money off their parents to go to a match on the weekend. I think if you lose em in at that point it's hard to draw them back in.

However, we, on here, are just a small proportion of the Dons fanbase.

Quote: rupert bear "I live in Westwoodside and it's still the 1960s out here! But seriously i know we come under North Lincs but you wouldn't know the Dons existed out here, even though we're not really that far away. Axholme is an untapped area for support. Why not send a batch of free tickets out to the pubs in Westwoodside, Haxey and Epworth. Surely there's nothing to lose?'"


There used to be a Dons Supporters Club branch at the Cross Keys pub in the village of Wroot it was featured on Calendar & Look North the pub is still there I don't know if the supporters club is still in existence.

I see that Fev are not averse to special offers out of their area. They have a special family ticket offer advertised on the Donny Knights website. Quite ironic that clubs like Fev have moaned about SL clubs for years and now they start acting like one.
