They seek him here, they seek him there but once again Carl Hall is nowhere. Instead of an update on Boas, Hedges or in fact trying to sign some props all we get is some news about a development off the pitch. There's no wonder supporters are losing interest.

War does not determine who is right - only who is left. Thank God I'm an atheist.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_22214.jpg



My lad reminded me that Gary (Wanderer) said that he was not going this season...one reason being the crappy way the club fail to keep supporters in the loop...
So Scott who was a duo with Gary is going on his own.
Now Gary was a fixture at Dons home games and had an involvement with the fans supporters panel at one time.
If Gary can drop the Dons because he has evaluated his time is better spent elsewhere then the writing is on the wall.
I packed in half way through last season after that y performance vs Hunslet and never went back.
I have bought a season ticket and will have another look this time but am not really that bothered anymore.
I am certainly not bothered about excuses and the same old same old.
I really find it hard to divorce the Dons from the crapness that is Club Doncaster and the Rovers.
Great stadium... set up.
But let's get behind the lads....

I stopped going to the Fans Panel Meetings around the same time as Wanderer. I think Gary attended one more after I stopped going. The meetings were online at the time.

I first started going to Tattersfield in the 1970s and never thought I’d get to a point where I’d question whether to buy a season ticket. I questioned whether to buy one this season.

I’ve decided to detach myself from the politics as this was stopping my enjoyment. The League One structure is awful – there are too few games. Spending half the summer with no home games doesn’t help either. The atmosphere at games is poor as the players are on the wrong side of the pitch to the fans. The large scoreboard is the most annoying piece of kit ever, as they use font size four so no one can read it.

Communications with fans remains poor. Whatever happened to Danny Bravo, Ryan Dixon, Sam Doherty and Keiron Lawton, for example? As fans, we like to feel a connection with the players we are supporting and with the coach as well.

When we used to have “In the Dug Out” every Friday, it gave us something to look forward to and served as part of the build up to the weekend match. I pressed for this to return (possibly in a different form) but it never happened.

I’ve no doubt Carl and the backroom team work very hard to keep the show on the road and I respect them for that but there are so many simple things that could be done better to make supporters feel valued and have a much better game day experience.

I did buy a season ticket (just before the Thornhill game) but I was asking myself questions right up to the last minute. It is worrying that staunch supporters like Gary and I can question whether to carry on being Dons’ fans.

My hopes going forward are that we can get out of this division, build on the momentum of the World Cup matches being in town, grow our fan base and see sufficient money invested in the club should we get to the Championship. I suspect getting out of this league will be the easy bit (and we’ve struggled to do that) staying in the Championship would be the hard part.

I see going to the Dons nowadays as a day out watching a bit of sport with having a pint or two....
I am not sure which takes pole position.
I do not expect anything by way of promotion and if they want to run the club in the amateurish way they do, it's their club, let them get on with it.
The fact that there is little written on here nowadays shows people don't think the Dons are worth it....
And they would be right the Dons aren't ...the players are however.
Come on you players...COYP
