You got up at 4:58am to post that!!!

actually it was 5.58am in France if you bothered to check the location - I start work at 0600am uk time which is obviously 0700 am french time

thanks for the applause rugbyman,it's nice to be appreciated - did the Dons play in france this season ? or did I miss something ? I saw them get well and truly stuffed LAST season in Toulouse (which cost ME a fortune also !) but it was worth all the effort if only to see the lads break their duck in the last minute - on the other hand,making the long trek to Wales must have been traumatic - can't imagine anything worse,you must have been completely exhausted...

the fact remains - ONLY SIX PEOPLE BOTHERED TO SPONSOR A DONNY PLAYER !

Dragonfan dont forget to check the location next time you post, even though the location could be a lie and then you get sarcastic comments.


My My another person preaching to the fans who already support the club home and away. You seemed to know when we played in France and i was there and the time before, so there is no point coming on here preaching to us who already pay out for home and away games, and all the other stuff in between.

But maybe you don't know the effort that the supporters trust has put in over the last season, unless of course you have been involved in it, and have signed up to the trust and make regular monthly payments into it. Funny how i do not remember someone from France signing up when looking at the membership but it could be from a different address..

When i work 6 days per week and dedicate my Sunday for 7-8 hours traveling to wales to support the lads then it does make it exhausting, was you there by the way?? by the way its not just the time traveling its the cost of it also.

Its not the people on here who you want to be targeting its the stay away fans.

Anyway you keep doing your bit



and i will do my bit the way i want to do it.

It always makes me wonder why we always get some random poster come on here every now and then and start preaching??

the fact remains - ONLY SIX PEOPLE BOTHERED TO SPONSOR A DONNY PLAYER

Anyway enough of this issue its starting to bore me.

How long have you been supporting the Dons and how many games have you seen them play?

blimey,nice to be chatting to Mr Roebuck,the doyen of Donny fans and the font of all Donny related history
to answer your question tho' - I followed the lads through mainly thin times in the 70s when working in the Lincoln area (i'm actually a french national) but moved back to france in the 80s and haven't been back to the uk except or family funerals since then so I have only seen the lads a couple of times in france in the past few years
so what does that make me ? i'm still a fan and still entitled to an opinion,or has free speech been deemed politically incorrect like most things in the uk nowadays ?

sorry rugbyman I can't afford the monthly supporters trust dosh as well and,for the record,I am NOT a liar,so maybe an apology would be in order .I am in france;near Limoges ,ask Carl next time you see him or don't you trust HIM either ???
and no,I didn't make the 'exhausting' trip to Wales despite only having to work a mere five days each week - I don't think it's logistically possible to get to any part of the british rugby league outposts and back in a weekend and be back at work on the monday morning so many apologies for my lack of interest in the team.I do try to get to as many TO13 & Catalan games as possible though.
I am,however planning a trip to see the Dons for next april with my good lady to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary health permitting (my wife has cancer,ask Carl or Jackie if you don't believe that either !) so here's hoping I can meet all you diehard fans if you would allow me into your hallowed stadium to share a pint or two with you or don't you trust me to stand my round ?
I'm sorry I bore you rugbyman - best wishes to you anyway

Take note i did say `COULD BE` that to me does not say you are a liar or not. so no apology needed, interesting how people read into comments.

Of course everyone has free speech, its the preaching to the already small bunch of diehards that still turn out week in and week out that winds me up.

And I am very careful who i trust in life.

Best wishes to you also.

Not on these boards ... although when the team underperform there are one or two Club Officials who object to free speech then ... as Stand Offish will testify to.





Why might you think that?





I am sorry to hear about your wife's situation and sincerely hope that you enjoy the trip over in April should circumstances allow.



I thought we had to cut out the Ale and put the money into Player Sponsorship?

don't worry wanderer,i'll bring you some decent red wine over,it won't cost you anything !

best wishes

My good lady has tried to get me to drink red wine but unfortunately, it just isn't my thing.



Best wishes to you too.

blimey,what a heathen !

but you obviously have great taste in women

come over and see us and we'll convert you

Only just logged on to this thread, but maybe only getting six
sponsors last season as something to do with past experiences.Not
to long ago myself and another twenty or so sponsored Peter Green
to the tune of £10 each, only for him to mogg off to Sheffield.

yes,can sympathise with that,other people have said the same from the Dons and other clubs - it's unfortunate but it happens - we sponsored David Bates who has since left - this leaves the club in a tricky position also, tho' I believe Carl & co are trying to stabilise the club at least so I believe the club deserves our help - at least the sponsors name is always present so it's publicity for any small enterprise or indeed a private individual who wants to help in some small way -
many of the larger clubs are over-sponsored by two or thre times (there's a long waiting list at Toulouse so i've heard for example)
players come and go as we all know tho' the club is always there (it's touch & go sometimes of course !) so maybe we should make allowances for the inevitable departures

best wishes from sunny Perpignan
