Really can't be bothered with tonight's match as a consequence of a shambles of a performance last Sunday, combined with a failure to understand why we should have to travel to Featherstone for a home game.

We've had to endure the second rate Pitch 2 facilities (which make Stainforth look upmarket) and now a 20+ mile trip to watch us v Oxford (no offence to Oxford but come on!?!).

Surely the match could have been played on Pitch 2 even if it meant a 7pm start if daylight was an issue.

What about the poor season ticket holders? Do they get any help re travel?

And Club Doncaster wonder why support is dwindling when you can go a bit further up the road and watch Cas

Yes, we are looking very much like the poor relations.

We absolutely are and always will be the poor relations whatever spin Club Doncaster put on the situation. When season ticket sales are non-existent next season they will have reaped what they have sown.

Perspective ... Crusaders beat Oxford 52 -20 on Sunday. Oxford were at home in that fixture.

24 nil up after no time and it ends with that score. Goodness me, we do seem to have accepted our fate for this season.

thats dire against them writing on the wall NO CHANCE of promotion i've had enough!

Just arrived home. I enjoyed the trip and the Featherstone hospitality. It was good to see a few Fev and Castleford fans there. Gary Thornton was there as well, by the way.

We looked very good in the opening exchanges as Oxford couldn't cope with our play and the hill. We took our foot off the gas and in the second half there didn't seem to be too much between the sides. I guess the players could have had half an eye on Sunday's game but the points difference situation could come back to haunt us.

Some of our defensive frailties were still in evidence and the lack of ball-handling skills stopped us from scoring a couple of tries that we should have probably got. Jack Miller was named Man of The Match. I thought Russ Spiers had another really good game.

20-0 after 15 mins very good , 30 -8 at half time acceptable .

2nd half dire ! No urgency no nothing !

Looks like 6th place , we are not a top 4 side.

as someone who supports neither team, I was ready to leave at half time and call a non contest . Donny must have had 99% percent possession in 1st half and oxford looked like a bunch of school kids by comparison .

I don't know what happened to the dons in 2nd half but I have to credit oxford , they looked like a different team after the break , it actually ended up one of the most entertaining games I have been too recently

Thank for the post. As DM posted it could be that they had one eye on Sunday, no injuries etc, or I may just be taking comfort with that view. I am looking forward to the Eights and although we have to do it the hard way it will be interesting to see how much effort is put in by the seventeen chosen to carry out that task.
