Hello lads ive just been watching a dvd of the promotion decider between Batley and Doncaster(kindly supplied by Geoff Roebuck)at Mount Pleasant in 1994.
A great game to watch played in front of a capacity crowd,seemed like Donny had a great following that day.Any of you lads go to the game and your memories of the day out.
Big Geoff Grayson takes no prisoners

What a great day that was! I am pleased to say that i was there.
Unfortunately due to the way RL is now run i fear it was scenes that we will never see again. I can not see how being awarded a SL franchise could ever compare with the jubilation felt that day!
We were packed in like sardines. If i remember correctly a win for either side would have gained them promotoin and a draw would have let london in via the back door.
Me and my mate ran around the pitch with a big blue and gold banner before the kick off after a Batley fan had placed a Btley car flag on the centre spot! icon_lol.gif

It got a cheer.
Happy days ... wish I could go back.
It seemed like every Dons supporter ever was at that match.

Loved the game, the atmosphere was electric and thats the way people should feel when the clubs are in a promotion game.

The super league franchises should be scrapped and revert back to good old promotion and relegation.

I remember being at Warrington for the final against Oldham when we beat them, and i remember the feeling that i had at the final whistle to have gained promotion. Only to be told about the coach leaving and the chairman pulling the plug, and really suffering the following year.

Best game in 30+ years of supporting Donny.

I remember going back to Tattersfield after the match & sitting on the paddock dreaming about the teams that would be playing there the next season.

Happy days.

Franchise system - diabolical. Why should the state of your ground dictate who gets promoted? Typical RL HQ shambles. These clowns don't know what loyal support is.

It did seem like every Dons supporter was there and they were still coming through the turnstiles and even over the walls as the kick-off was delayed.

What a day that was!
Remember running onto the pitch at the hooter with everyone then thought e i'm never going to find me Dad again with all these people here, but when i turned round he was about a yard behind me running onto the field himself.
Imo the Saints game just edges it for the best game i've seen.

We certainly made tongues wag at Red Hall at that game Col, How dare little Doncaster get promoted and come and beat Saints in there own back yard and again the atmosphere was great and it also kept the Saints fans quiet.

The Dons win at St Helens was certainly a game to remember however the most memorable victory I have seen the Dons pull off in all my 50 years of supporting the Dons was in the very early 1960's at Headingley when the Dons a team lying at the wrong end of the table (just one division in those days)defeated a star studded high flying Leeds team on there own ground by 22pts -11pts. Wingman Brian Tasker scoring four tries for the Dons which was a club record which stood for many years the star of the Dons team that day was centre Roy Bell who created all Taskers tries

Memories and heritage are very precious THE DONS and BLUE & GOLD forever.:



I remember it well Geoff. Stood in the middle of the south stand shouting "COME ON YOU DONS".
But I have to say the BATLEY game just has the edge IMO.
