I earn the minimum wage,run a house plus missus plus car & kids etc so if I can manage to find a yearly subscription to a championship side PLUS sponsorship of a Dons player PLUS the Dons lottery each week then so can many others out there in Donnyland !
Come on you lads,cut the excuses !'"
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.

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.

| 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
