Totally agree.

The only problem being that it would seem that the loyal fans only now number about 200 and whilst we need their loyalty, we also need to attract others and therein lies the problem.

I'll be going to the game on Sunday, but i'm fairly sure i w
ill not be enjoying any of the Keepmoat experience yet again.

It doesnt seem like 5 minutes ago we had a team which I enjoyed watching win OR lose. I pretty much enjoyed all the games down at Belle Vue, the fans and the players always seemed to have a conection..that got lost, we had a chairman who although split opinion spent a hell of alot of money for a team at Doncasters level and didnt ask anything from me personally other than come down and support the players.

Nothing seems to have gone right for us down at the Keepmoat, even most Rovers fans dont like it.

I'm not sure what my point is other than, i don't enjoy it anymore... even Rovers fans at their lowest ebb in the non league say they ENJOYED much of their time there. I'm not enjoying this at all and that is something i thought i would never write on this forum.

Maybe a move to a smaller more compact ground would help matters. I believe that Armthorpe Welfare are looking into a new ground near the M18. If we went in with them maybe this would be beneficial to both clubs in regards to getting funding for a more suitable stadium.
Worth looking into i think.

Personally, I would hope that anything which might keep the Club running would be considered. Toll Bar with a little more money spent on the ground (sports grant?) would also be worth considering if the decision is taken to move.

We've all had an opportunity to vent the spleen since last Saturdays game (we are all entitled to our opinion as paying customers). However, Sunday is a chance for the players to prove that the form of the past couple of games is wrong.

A number of people have said they may not come on Sunday (happily, one or two seem to be reconsidering). I hope that my original thoughts of 200+ are way off the mark but whatever the turnout a good performance on the pitch (even in defeat) may start to unite the Club oncemore.

The Supporters remaining this season (as I have said elsewhere) were not expecting miracles this season and if we are being honest most of us have stuck with the Club through 'thick and thin' so surely knowone thinks that we are expecting win after win after win. No just some pride in the shirt. Sunday offers a chance to begin again.

Betting for Sunday ...

Handicap ... Dons +10 points @ 10/11 with Bet365, Ladbrokes, Skybet and Stan James.

Match ... Dons currently best priced with Bet365 @ 3/1. Ladbrokes are next best @ 11/4.

Excellent post Rupert Bear, me and kid will be there, do I expect a win, probably not, do I expect to be entertained, probably not, do I expect to see effort and committment, YES, at this stage of the clubs existence only that should be expected, the first 2 are bonuses.

As you state fans should be glad we have a club that we can go watch and if the hard core fans give up or stop supporting then there may well be no club at all.

We?
I think that you need to be around a bit longer than one game before you consider yourself to be that......
....but full marks for joining our happy throng.
Top tip though.....don't come on here slagging us off.
We've suffered and endured...you haven't.....yet.

Hope , nowt wrong with that.
what does **** me off is people who have not been for over a season , yet they come on here all superior telling the club what to do. Some of em I have never seen smile at a Dons game in the recent 10 years. I think they want the Dons to get beat.

There thats got that off my chest !

You are not kidding


To be fair there's one regular I've known a very long time and I've never seen him smile anywhere never mind the Dons. Even the Samaritans hang up on him.

Oh get over yourself Paul.

A bit touchy there. Maybe the truth hurts!!!!!

I don't think that having a go at other posters or falling out is the way forward.
Just because someone has chosen to stop supporting the Dons is the Dons fault not theirs.
They could be persuaded to come back and would love to....if the menu was not wall to wall sh/te.
Me..... I'm just gonna hang in there for a little longer......
Oh for a kiwi with a bit of flair.
