| I also went to that game in what was a dreadful season.
I went for a pint at half-time and I didn't come out for the second half. Tony Miller was there and I invited him to come back ... he declined.
When I did poke my nose outside the Dons scored 3 converted tries.
It tickled me when Alan was told to leave this forum ...
He always was a neg-head.
Alan, either support the Dons or go!
lol
Incidentally, some people need to look up insult in the old lexicon.
I haven't seen too many on here ...

(as I've already stated I think club Doncaster and what its trying to do is brilliant for this town but I'm questioning the wether the guys at the top are competent enough)'"
Well the man at the top on the administrative side, Gavin Baldwin, is excellent. I see him in action a lot and have nothing but admiration for him. In particular he is very good at responding to suggestions for improvements which benefit the club(s) and fans. I would not be surprised if some larger organisation were to try to prise him away from us.

Like you I also have nothing but admiration for the bloke, we (Club Doncaster) are very lucky to have him (Rovers head on as well with that post)

| I was very impressed with Gavin at the Fans Forum too. He seemed to be very open to new ideas and seemed prepared to do the spade work to get the ideas into practice, rather than hope for volunteers to do it.
He would certainly be a loss to the club if someone poached him from us.

| What Mr Baldwin & the club require is a board of directors with experience of running a professional rugby league club & also have good contacts within the game.
If we haven't got one already the club needs to put in place a scouting system to view the players in the amateur leagues in West Yorkshire & Humberside areas.
I maybe wrong but I don't think the Dons have had a club scout since Mince in the John Sheridan era.

The scouting question in particular sounds like a good one for the club to answer, Geoff.
I'd be very interested to know what we're doing on this front.

| GeoffRoebuck in principle your idea is a good one but I'm not sure that the Dons have the pull to attract youngsters in those areas against the bigger clubs who ply their trade there. I would think expanding our contacts and influence within the amateur clubs closer to home would be more profitable.

| A reserve team is required so that good local amateurs can make the transition to professional rugby league . We appear to be building bridges with the local sides .

They will never know if they don't try & they don't all have to be youngsters we try to sign after all the Dons are playing in a division only one step up from the National Conference leagues.
