Not so much at that time, those running the club then did have overly big ambitions.



That was and remains a huge disappointment.

All that is wrong in sport encapsulated in and around this bloke and those like him IMO. Compare him and Shaun Leaf if you want to see how Doncaster Rugby League should be, again IMO.

do you feel he club is now going in the right direction ?

I do. The concept of the way the club is now run financially is sound it would appear and certain people not involved in the club have to be thanked for its inception. Sound finance is the backbone of the clubs future and given that there is no reason that the club and everyone involved should not have happier days ahead. It is time to look forward and enjoy but just having the weather eye on past 'mistakes' so hopefully no repetition.
