You are incorrect the stand I'm refering to didnt have a snack bar at the rear,the only snack bar in this period on that side of the ground was a wooden hut sited at the left hand corner of the ground it was run by Norman Pacey who used to drive his car right up to the hut & unload all the snacks they had for sale & display them in the hut.

There was only one Goodchild & only one Asquith Peter & Bernard were there christian names if either of these two had a brother they never played for the Dons, this is the correct spelling of Pflaster,Peter Goodchild was the first Dons player to play for the Yorkshire County team.

The clue for the nickname the fans called the stand just think of a former chairman of the club & what type of stand it was.

Alan Tait in his Leeds days.

Yes it was alan tait then of leeds but started at widnes.
a very good centre, i don't know how jamie didn't kill him.

Is this a whoever can name a stand or who has the longest memory is a certified dons fan? nobody would waste their time on this forum and write the crap we normally do if they wasnt passionate about donny so lets not score petty points, wether your a new fan or a stalwart dons need you. COYD

Sorry but the Dons clearly don't need me or my money as I was refused entry to the bar because I didn't have a season ticket but allowed other people in without one whilst I was stood there

As anybody listened to the after match interview Paul Cook did on Radio Yorkshire today.
Obviously he spoke about todays game & went on to say that he had a 4 hour meeting with the chief executive last Monday & addressed some issues, he also had a meeting with the players on Tuesday & discussed the mind-set of the players & where they want to be & where they are heading do they want to be part of journey of the club moving forward this year, & in the immediate future & next year with what's happening behind the scenes.

You can listen to the full interview on Radio Yorkshires website

His interview with the written press post match was 15 minutes of honesty about a lot of things, and to be fair, he could have gone the way that a lot of coaches have in the past, and refused to go into any detail on things. He laid a lot of things down about how he wants the club to run, and how he wants to do things, and he accepts that the fans have a right to be anxious about things. I've listened to the RY interview, and he only touches on some of the things he discussed.

I personally think the next week is massive for the Club.

If we lose on Wednesday, then Whitehaven away becomes a 'must win' game for me. Otherwise, and I accept that this requires Workington to beat Whitehaven on Good Friday, we could find ourselves 4 points adrift of both Cumbrian Clubs and Hunslet.

It may not sound a lot but we would already probably need 3 results (at least 2 wins and a draw) more than any 2 of these 3 and we will, assuming the worst happens, have lost to all 3 at that point.

When you consider the next 4 fixtures after that are;
Home to Dewsbury (bogey team)
Home to Bradford (ex-Super League)
Away v Halifax (rarely a good place for the Dons)
and Sheffield again.

There is a real danger that we could be halfway through the season without a win.

If there are opportunities to bring in players who will enhance us they need to be taken and quickly.

I think Wanderer is right. Time isn't on our side even though we're only six games into the season. Everything could ebb away from us over the next few games.

If we assume that the two relegation spots are between Hunslet, Whitehaven, Workington and the Dons, we need to get above at least two of them.

Hunslet have 4 points, Workington and Whitehaven have two points.

The good thing is that we've got to play all four at home in what must be classed as "must win" games. We've got Whitehaven away soon and Hunslet at the summer bash. We really need to win those games too. The other realistically winnable home game could be the London match. It's hard to see where else we're likely to pick points up.

Consequently the Whitehaven game away is critical. If we win all the games I've listed, we'll have 14 points from 7 wins. Will 14 points be enough to stay up? If we could scramble something from the Dewsbury game at home, that would help.

From our point our view, it may be better if Hunslet take the points off Whitehaven and Workington in the four matches they play against them (they've not met yet), leaving Hunslet clear of the drop zone, which will help our chances of getting above the two Cumbrian teams.

On checking the future fixtures, Whitehaven are playing Workington at the summer bash which is rather unfortunate as one of them is going to get two points from that game as well ... but it is with irony that we're playing Hunslet at the bash too!

So can I just get this right. Dons supporters complain about not being allowed access to bar and aren't allowed in. Eagles supporters complain and are allowed in.

I went in last night and it was quite full. You're right a lot of them in there were wearing Sheffields colours. Making it up as you go along springs to mind.

If correct then answers need to be answered by the club on this issue.

Be a good idea to also ask why one week the car park nearest the ticket office is open to supporters and the next week it's permit holders only.

The latest In the Dugout says it all which is we are going nowhere. Now Even Carl Hall is coming out with the same old Cookey crap of we are getting there and even the big boss Gavin Baldwin thinks so too. Funny I thought Carl Hall was the boss. Nothing about strengthening the team to get us up the table,just we will see what happens on Monday cause the boys will get us there.No one can fault the lads on the pitch who are giving everything,Mitch Clark couldn't have given any more,he was immense. But they are just not good enough in a number of positions. What the hell is going on at the club?

So, which is it? Perhaps nothing is going on and its all a figment of certain peoples imaginations? Perhaps we've been invaded by lizard people, and they've started at the Keepmoat? Perhaps we'll never know, as the club don't have to disclose anything....
