I appreciate that , it was an off the cuff funny remark (or meant to be).

Crowd today down only 647 on last season .

Yes disappointing

only 559 at Batley

One of the reasons given for the takeover was that marketing of the Dons would improve. The full marketing team of the Rovers would be working to promote the Dons. For me this is a promise that has been broken.

I allowed time for bedding in, but after our first home game I am incredibly disappointed by the lack of effort shown.

The crowds will not come in from just performances on the pitch. That is clear from last year.

It's time to step up Marketing team.

EXACTLY!

The crowd was the biggest disappointment for me yesterday.

Correct, perhaps you could pose that question on the sticky thread and see if Shaun Lockwood answers it.

i missed the game as i was doing 12 hour night shifts but for me one of the biggest reasons for poor crowds is lack of good public transport around the keepmoat. I live on the keepmoat side of town but it was easier for me to get to tattersfield than where we are now. Could the club try putting on a double decker or two for a couple of home games from the Bentley/York road/Toll bar area to tempt people back??

Probably spending all their time arranging third rate pop starts playing for rovers reserves. Maybe we should look at getting Bono to play prop forward against Batley.

Has everyone seen the footage of the One Direction lad coming on last night. Ive not heard screaming like that coming from the Doncaster terraces since someone said Paul McNicholas was coming on as a sub!

maybe we could sign up peter andre to boost crowds.
probably wouldn't do much for the team though.
Use him as a water carrier.
