Now we have all had time to drowned our sorrows after the embarrasing day yesterday, how many of us are going to pick ourselves up and turn up next week ? I will give it one more go to see if Miller and the team can give us a performance we can cheer about,God knows they owe us after that debacle yesterday. If i don't see 100% improvement or he continues to play unfit, overweight fatties in place of available fitter and more enthusiastic youngsters then thats it for me. Over to you Miller.

I really hope I am wrong but I suspect a very poor turnout. Those wanting any excuse to stay-away have certainly been given every reason and when you factor in Mothers Day and that the opposition may not bring a massive following it could struggle to get past the 200-250 mark.

This may sound a touch emotional but I really do think the next month or so will define the future. Defeats to South Wales and Swinton Lions (obviously quite likely considering our current form) prior to fixtures against (possibly) the big two in the division, York City Knights and Hunslet Hawks and I just can't imagine how many Dons supporters will be at future games. Currently, there is so little which can be used postively to promote / market the Club and it seems that many of those who have stuck with the Club thus far are starting to question their sanity. Without some turnround in the teams current form I really do fear the worst.

Me too but it is getting harder and harder and I am starting to find it almost impossible to challenge those who say they are walking away.

I could never understand drivers who slow down and gawp at car crashes, it really bugs me. I find myself now feeling a little like they do, I might just go along for the curiosty factor. And I do like to see who is up on the balcony looking down on the common folk icon_wink.gif

After watching the pre season friendlies, we appeared to have a decent sqaud who were capable of competing at this level, Can't understand whats happened, players don't lose their ability overnight but they don't look anything like the team that we saw a few weeks ago in the friendlies. Has baffled me totally

Without Grant Edwards we don't seem able to seriously challenge the oppositions defensive line. Are we a one-trick pony?

Agree, we looked yesterday as though we were playing without a complete back division and was very hard to make out who the half backs were supposed to be.

Of course I'll still be there, it's what i do on Sundays icon_lol.gif



We are struggling without Grant, however, as I mentioned before the weekend, what has happened to the offloads and runners we had preseason? We were creating another2 tackles a set then through good off loads, and the people taking the ball were making yards

We will be there, me and the Father in Law. We have spoken about this and we will stick with it, its not a new situation for this club and the gallant few hundred,we have seen it all before. We won't up sticks and go elsewhere to watch RL. This is our side, Doncaster. What we want is a bit of pride, a bit of decent rugby, some passion and some players to be proud of. We want someone to stand up and lead, on and off the park and someone who is worth staying to the end for and clapping off the field. What I do expect is that Carl Hall as not taken this situation lightly in his role, he would never have done that whilst a player and I expect that drive and desire from his playing days to be the same now he his in charge. We look bottom three material, the challenge I expect the club to meet is to prove us wrong.

War does not determine who is right - only who is left. Thank God I'm an atheist.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_22214.jpg



Fair play to you all ...but expect more pain.
You might as well support a local amateur side .....we are not bottom three.... we are bottom in every sense of the word.
We are dreadful.
But I hope to be proved wrong.....if we win I volunteer to be put in stocks and rotten tomatoes thrown at me... icon_wink.gif

Not one to be outrageous, but how many times do we start with a team that shows some talent and enthusiasm for passing the ball including the forwards only for someone to come along and coach it out of them!

After Saturdays game i was pig sick but after thinking about it we knew this season was going to be tough, though having said that Saturday was unacceptable.
Only a few months ago we were so happy just to have a team to follow and accepted the fact that we would probably end up at the bottom end of the league. Now is the hour that we must stick with the club and hopefully over the next two or three seasons we will be able to build into a succesful sustainable club. If people walk away now then the game is up and RL in Donny will be finished for good. We will be attending all the home games and as many away games as possible. I don't want to be looking back in years to come thinking if only we had done more !
Now is the time the club needs its loyal fans to stand by it.
This is the Last Chance for RL in Donny.
Once it's gone it's gone. FOR EVER....
