Quote: Double Movement "1) If the Dons (or the fans) have any aspirations to see us play in the Super League, we've got to play at the Keepmoat. Castle Park doesn't meet the RFL ground regulations. There is no alternative to the Keepmoat.

2) How do you know that money has been siphoned off by the Rovers? Have you got access to some figures that we don't?

3) For all we know, the Dons may have a bulging bank account waiting for the right opportunities to sign some better qualities players.

4) Jemmo's already mentioned it, but who were the players Carl Hall promised you were coming before you got your season ticket?

5) The strategy of signing young players appears to be an intentional one, not one forced upon us by the Rovers. Whether it's the right one is another matter, but I repeat what I said before that I cannot believe John Scarrow, Carl Hall, and Paul Cooke would still be at the club if they were nothing more than puppets for the Rovers.'"


1. If Castle Park doesn't meet regulations why are we playing there whilst the Keepmoat pitch is being reseeded.

2. Have I said money is being siphoned of by the Rovers? What I have said is that we are not seeing the benefits of season ticket sales,biggest budget etc.

3. Do me a favour

4. As I said he told me I would be exited if he got his targets,no names mentioned.

5. If it was intentional he should have signed good young players not those that other clubs see no future in.At the last forum we were told these young players were signed to cover the back end of the season when injuries are taking their toll. If we are struggling to stay up can you really see these youngsters getting us out of trouble?Once again you are misquoting me because haven't said they are puppets but their aspirations of where they want to take the club are being stifled by being second best in the partnership with the Rovers.

If you are minded to respond please make sure you quote me correctly next time.

The PR side of the Dons is not very good of they let speculation like this go unchecked.

If the club do have reserve funds meant for future advancement, as Donny suggests, we should know about it, because otherwise as things stand it is looking a very Steptoe and Son set-up.
The word cheapskate springs to mind.

They may not read this stuff anyway ... but I would be surprised

[iI will try to respond to the points you made

1) The reason we can play at Castle Park this season is because the ground regulations for playing in the Championship are less stringent than those when playing in Super League. We couldn't play Super League at Castle Park because the seated areas are not big enough.

2) I'm sorry if I misunderstood you when I said that you were implying the Rovers were siphoning money off. I drew those conclusions from what you wroteGet real,where do you think these benefits are going,certainly not into the Don's coffers."

I assumed you were suggesting that if the money hadn't gone into the Dons coffers, the only other place it could have gone was to the Rovers.

3) I take it you do not believe the Dons have got any reserves of cash? Where do you believe the money has gone?

4) I'm sorry if Carl's mentioning of exciting signings has disappointed you. I was hoping for at least two or three bigger names to have been signed too.

5) "Once again you are misquoting me because haven't said they (the Dons) are puppets but their aspirations of where they want to take the club are being stifled by being second best in the partnership with the Rovers."

"Dead right,couldn't agree more.Rovers puppets and that's it.,which is why the Keepmoat doesn't have an sign up saying home of Doncaster rlfc."

Again, sorry if I misunderstood you but if the Rovers are stifling what the Dons can do, it appears you are suggesting the Rovers are pulling the strings, and the Dons don't have control of their own destiny. And as the last quote shows, you have used the word puppet yourself!"
