| Quote SteveRoebuck="SteveRoebuck"My bad OneDon...I meant Newcastle (old habbits and all that).
Yes we have lost to teams we should have beaten and I firmly belive that we we had acutally played all our home games at home we had a really good chance of maybe 1st or 2nd in the League, but we surrendered home advantage and made it an away game for both teams, something that in my mind cannot continue. No Doncaster home games should be played outside the borough of Doncaster simple as, if Newcastle's ground passes I am fairly sure Brodsworth and grounds others have mentioned will pass muster with the RFL, so simply apply to the RLF so play only away games when the pitch is being relayed....Toronto have had this agreement in place for the past 3 years due to the somewhat harsher winters in Canada....Now we have the power of the president behind use surely we have this ability
Facebook/Twitter are for the FastFood generation, single lines and if you dont agree with an opinion you are shouted down until you agree or leave.
I dont post on the Dons portion of Facebook anymore due to the outright abuse I have had on their from so called fans, I will however make one more post this season to finally settle my bet with a "major club sponsor" Who apprently I have upset because I didnt agree with them (according to a twitter PM from CH).
Forums in general are in decline across the internet with people prefering to access social media on phones and tablets rather than traditional PC's and forums, hence the popularity of short messages, no one wants to write their magnum opus on a phone keyboard.
I shall be watching Sundays match at Gates...I mean Newcastle with interest and hoping for a positive result.'"
Agree with everything there Steve
Completely right about Facebook don't post on there now but do read it got my head chewed off once just for a point of view which you're apparently not allowed to have in some eyes |

Case in point.
According to a post on the Dons fans Facebook page from the player himself Kieron Lawton has been released from the club. Is being loaned out to Cas classed as a release or has something else occurred that we are not party too? |

I regularly raise issues such as this at the Fans Panel Meetings as I strongly believe not communicating properly with fans destroys the links between fans and the club. If fans don't feel valued, or important, they will be more inclined to walk away, and in many cases may never come back.
The club must do better. |

Spot on.
I fully realise Mike that you take them to task over matters such as this, however it is my believe (rightly or wrongly) that Club Doncaster have a certain prerogative when it come to information. The leaking of information was certainly tightened up when John Ryan finally stood down and certain people left that had access to inside info and it helped fill column inches, say a Nosey Parker or two  We hardly ever hear from the re-branded SLO who is no Big Baz in any shape or form  apart from an odd post here and there on the Cleggbook.
I have no doubt that this last bit will be seen as having a go at the club but we must be kept up to speed on some issues for the very reasons you have eloquently highlighted. |

If you want to know something ask Jemmo ...
Some of the Facebook lads seem to be a lot closer to the club and get to know things quicker and Facebook and Twitter have a lot more participants so any info spreads faster.

No thanks I will stay on this pariah forum. Jemmo will no doubt fill us in if he wants to. |

Agree SO, but it can't spread faster than from the club itself, instead of being 2nd hand.
thought that was what the club website is for, club information,otherwise it might as well not be there. |

The post from Kieron himself about having to be released has been taken down. |

Richard Horne doing himself proud at Newcastle today ... I wonder if he is lounging in the stand with both feet over the seats in front?
As per normal...
Clueless!

Nice touch to get Pete Green to do the pre-match...hopefully he was saving his voice for the half time hair dryer...they ref has give some odd descions but that said we havent threatend them at all. Not a clean break really...40 mins or seasons over and I would continue to say we have employed a coach for next year who failed to achieve his stated goals...we shall see

We can't play a forward game with territory kicks in the wet ... they can ...we can't.
Forwards and kicking very substandard today.
