| Where are the positives?
I am past caring now and will just see it all through......this could be our last season and so I want to be able to say......I was there.
I was going to rag it in knowing that we will just get pasted every week from now until the end of the season or until we go out of existence....but I have had a rethink and now think bollox....I'm a Dons fan.
I wish the RFL would have some compassion and dock us 9 points NOW and not for next season which would cripple us if we manage to continue.....which looks increasingly unlikely.....both for the points and our survival.
[sizeBUT[/size.....we are the mighty Dons and who knows.
COYD.

Thought he was our only player with any craft this afternoon.
How many more nails will the Donny coffin take?
Trying to think of a word that sums up our chances - think it rhymes with Cooked.

| I didnt go to the game today due to it being re-scheduled (i think) as i was working. The result didnt matter...nothing matters other than to continue as a club.
I'm 100% positive this will happen...even if we wont be competitive for the next 5 years....surley we cannot and won't dissapear.
i hope if we do get deducted points...it is this year.

Yes, it was re-scheduled. Batley were (incredibly) still in the Challenge Cup when we should have met originally.

What were you like pre-Handforth?
You lucky s!
We don't want your sympathy.
If we had had our original side out .....you'd have been well stuffed.
We are well and truly sick of being depleted and being beaten by such as your lot ....it's been two out of the last three years.
Get it into perspective.

The fact remains you lot tonked a shadow of a team.

Not underestimateing you but at the time I was referring to your form was poor.
Our 17 individuals were certainly no match for you yesterday.

Yes we had a bad start to the season including losing 70-0 at Halifax but Karl Harrison has come in and brought new training methods and a more proffesional approach, apart from Handforth we have exactly the same team as the begining of the season.
My point was that I think you caught Batley on a good run and in good form nothing more than that.

What a poor reply. We were not very good pre-Harrison but have improved. Is it luck to manage your resources well enough to survive and be able to complete a season without going bust? Not too sure you would have 'stuffed' us with your original side, you were hardly setting the division alight now were you?
I am not sure that ernie1 was offering sympathy, I believe he was offering support, which you need is spades at the moment. He was one of the many Batley supporters who applauded your team off at featherstone yesterday, not through sympathy but recognition of the effort your players put in for your club.
And if all those concerned with batley have one thing in abundance it's perspective, one thing that your managers/owners/directors of the past few years have clearly lacked.
Good luck for the future

Doncaster supporters waited patiently for what seemed like ten minutes for your player to be stretchered off.
Not long later one of our players goes to his knees....clearly hurt.....and one of your bunch shouted 'get up!'
That was noted.
Very sporting.
Anyway Harrison (and Handforth) has done a good job for you and it looks like you should avoid the drop......we will see.

Sorry but I cannot be responsible for one supporter making a ridiculous comment. During any period a player is down injured I will patiently wait until he is fit and ready to play again because I have been in that position myself.
Making all Batley supporters out to be bad guys for the sake of a comment from an individual you must agree is going over the top
