It does seem a tad ridiculous doesn't it?

However I'm just as worried as everyone else. I'm sure we will survive but at what cost and how much of our progress over the last few years will be lost I have no idea.

I am not a happy bunny at the moment.

Hope all the hard work and fantastic progress we have made over the last 3 years doesn't go to waste.


Just because of one mans [namely Ryan spite towards the rugby team, he spat his dummy out and walked away once just because he couldn't get his own way, he ought to keep away for good.

he should have the right attitude for all the sport of the town of Doncaster.

COYDs

An uncertain future , I agree that a statement on the future of club Doncaster is needed. Having Ryan back in charge I think it's the worst thing that could have happened, I hope that the current owners have some sort of safeguard written into the sale contract.

Having had a little bit of time to mull this over, I was thinking on the same lines as donny hkr. Surely the present owners will put some safeguards in place in the sale contract to protect club Doncaster?

Maybe something on the lines of the rights for Donny Belles and the Dons to play at the stadium for the next ten years, or something similar.

Looking on the bright side, if we did have to sever ties with Donny Rovers, we're in a better position than ever to attract a buyer. If we were languishing at the bottom of the league with an imminent relegation threat, life would be much gloomier.

Jemmo's quote is a classic about surviving everything except a boy band!

I share everyone else's concerns and hope we get some news soon.

So we won't know what is happening until at least Wednesday now



This is an absolutely perfect story for the Free Press. All they ever cover are the Rovers and Louis Tomlinson.

Call me a tad negative - won't be the first time today, but I just get an odd feeling at moment...

Loads of injuries, no home games for a while, DR seemingly disappeared with Hull, players having left.....

Despite all the great effort and results it just seems like we are up against it...

Wait and see.....

I'm not sightly worried ...
what will be will be ...

surely the club needs to make a statement on this matter but I was wondering if Watson/Bramall or both would use the takeover money to run the DONS themselves

Have either of them been to a Dons match since they took over?

The reason Bramall and Watson wanted to be involved with the Dons was because it made good business sense to create Club Doncaster - not because they had a love of rugby. I very much doubt they'd be interested in the Dons as a separate entity.

It would take a massive turn-around in opinion for John Ryan to embrace the Dons. He questioned the decision to form Club Doncaster very vociferously asking the question, "Who really wants to watch rugby in Doncaster?"

He obviously saw the Dons as a drain on the Rovers resources - not a way of increasing revenue to Club Doncaster.

The key is whether there are clauses in the buy out deal that require Mr Ryan to continue with Club Doncaster for X number of years, or whether he has the right to disband it immediately.

I hope the present owners have enough respect for the Dons and the supporters not to sell us down the river. I hope Mr Ryan is big enough to accept that Club Doncaster is the right way forward and for him to want to embrace it willingly - possibly accepting that his previous comments were made in haste on the back of his fall out with the other Rovers' shareholders.

Interesting and worrying times ahead ...

I'm not sure, but I believe Terry Brammalls had representation at a fair few games this season.
