| Thank you dons for your hospitality today I think the biggest problem was in all are press it was advertised as pay on the gate so close to kick people were queing at the gate then told to go round to ticket office.
No that I had that problem I was getting very cold in your lovely stadium from about 2:15.
Hope to see you again during the year hoping to catch a few of your games this year.

See my post above mate, I find it strange that at every other ground paying on the gate doesn't seem to be a problem, yet we have this poxy system of buying a ticket to hand it over at the turnstiles!
I've e mailed the club but I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for a change of policy.

| I wasn't too bothered about the result before todays game I just wanted to see a good performance and I came away from the game gutted that we drew a game we should have won. All in all I was very impressed with all aspects attack and defence and i thought our 2 half backs were great nd combined well. Spaven's kicking game was excellent and so cnt wait for the season proper to start. The disapointing thing for me was the amount of penalties we gave away which let Hull back into the game but there is time for that to be looked at and stamped out. Finally a massive thanks to the Hull fans for attending todays game, Never seen that stand so full. Roll on the season proper COYD

| I enjoyed the game.
The last time we played Hull (a first team squad) in a friendly they brushed us aside with impunity.
So the two sides this time were fairly well matched and both sides got to play some rugby.
I felt a bit sorry for the Hull fans earlier with what they had to watch personnel-wise, but they got a thrilling finish to send them home happy.
We looked fit and very enthusiastic.
Only a few cock-ups prevented us scoring more.
A much more pleasant start than previous seasons.
We got knocks to three players though, but it is three Weeks before we play again.
Two better tests to come.
Cooke's decision to not play turned out to be a good one.

What is the problem with paying at the turnstiles anyway? Every other ground seem to manage it.

i didnt get there until 2.35 and got in alright.

| Well Paul was very happy about what he saw against Hull and in my view he is absolutely right.
The Dons looked, fit, feisty and focussed to me.
Their defence was especially good.
Paul identified a few problems in attack.
The players think he is a great coach in the making.

| And i agree with what you have said there.
i was happy with what i saw, iron out the few problems we had attacking wise and the giving away of daft penalties and we should have a good season.

get a season ticket problem sorted. no need to get a ticket every home game then, just go straight in.
And it saves you money.

but he was saying he's missed 5 minutes of several matches before, that is what i was refering to. As it
looks like he gets there at the last minute regulary it would solve the problem of getting a ticket
every match. Or get there earlier is another simple solution.
we know a season ticket is no good for friendlies.
