I sense a little despair, I would think most Dons have got used to it a little by now, over my 20 or so years I have felt it on many occassions.

Its ok for fans to take out their frustration with the management and those currently running of the club.

But we should nt forget that they ll still be 17 men out there tomorrow, and remember it won t be much fun for them either if they are on the back end of an hiding and no one can be bothered to show for them.

So come on you Dons, lets get this season over with and hopefully dust ourselves off again and get stuck in next year.

Well so much for talk of winning at least one game.....and so much for talk of keeping what players we have together and having some sort of a decent team for next year.
I thought we caved in a little easily during the Barrow game.....what we know now...they knew then......so now't to play for really after an attempt by some players early doors to make their last game a winning one.
I did think that Weeden was very quiet in the Barrow game after his heroics at Leigh.
And so all is revealed in typical Donny style..........we find out before they tell us.....champion.
What will be the crowd tomorrow?
There will be season ticket holders now who won't bother......income will be next to nil.....the only income will be from Fev fans who will be able to come down here and watch a totally one-sided game.
I will be there......but the day is more about having a drink or two now than any chance of watching some decent competitive rugby.........I certainly would not go and pay.
Congrats to all concerned for fooking our club up..

I look forward to better times to come.

Its breaking my heart, but i have decided not to attend tomorow as a Donny lad living in Huddersfield I have been paying to watch two teams a week where fixtures have permitted, its beeen agony and extasy watching The DONS and The GIANTS, we are going to Wemberly so money is tight,
I have made this decision after hearing of latest departures, tomorow will be third game i have missed and wont be at tolouse to Loose, will be at last home game to say possibly good bye. But thats only if the club go under.

Unless I am extremely wide of the mark, there looks likely to be only one serious bid to take the Club forward and that is by no means certain to succeed. The RFL will have to be convinced before a licence is awarded for next season.

As painful as what is happening at the moment is, if we want to have RL in Doncaster next season we are going to have to get behind any seroius bidder.

As for tomorrow, we may well get another beating but to be honest the players that remain deserve our support. Lets face it most of them are playing at least a division above where we would logically have wanted to introduce them.

But ... they are still going out and giving it a go. If they're not good enough so be it but we have no alternative currently and they deserve our support for being prepared to turn out in very difficult circumstances.

Come On You Dons!

Good luck to Craig and Josh.Both players have my respect for hanging in so long and giving there all.
Will be there tomorrow giving the lads my support as I have for the last 48 years through thick and thin but at least we are seeing a side of lads playing their hearts out and a big thanks for TM in staying the course.

Well a crowd of 644 and 2/3 of those were from Fev and that's a conservative estimate!
I got the feeling that todays game was the last time a fev team would play pro-rl in Donny! Sad.
Directors and officials gone. Players gone and most of the fans gone. I'll doff my cap to the remaining few stoicly seeing out the season to the bitter end.

If you see the grim reaper - tell him to p1zz off! Hope you see a resurection!

Im sorry but i just cannot join in with the " thanks for your efforts lads" posts that are going on here.As soon as the contracts have been terminated theyve gone.they could have played on match terms but chose not to. Id sooner concentrate my efforts on lads who are sticking it out and the people behind the scenes who are trying to make sure there is a team here next year.

I know ill get stick for this but thats how i feel.

Good post Karlos, They could have stayed for the last three weeks and then decided.

Agreed Karl.

I know for a fact that Craig Lawton has been looking to leave since the start of the season. Loyalty my backside.

According to todays Rugby-League press all the players who turned out yesterday did so without being paid a penny--

For that they deserve to be applauded by the fans who remain loyal to the club.

Well done to all those who played but what is the situation going to Tolouse do they have to find their own fares and hotel costs?

Agreed Bruce.

No stick from me mate.

I do think that some situations are different to others though.

Examples ...

Alex Benson ... no Club to go to, might as well stay with us and accept match payments but chooses to quit. That one I can't get my head round.

Craig Lawton ... whatever we think now, has been a decent servant to the Club over the years.

Not 100% sure but believe the RFL pays towards the Flight/Hotel costs--
but i would have thought it won't be easy for any of the squad who are now left to have time of work.
And would have expected the players who have recently left us to have
been named on tickets bought for the flight's which will now have to be changed at very short notice if thats possible..

Agreed from me also

Ill certainly chip in to get the lads a pint after the game next week! Top Blokes!! This is why i cant believe some fans have stopped coming to the games.These lads are flogging their guts for nothing and some folk cant be bothered to come and support them!!

Well done to all at the club concerned!

Well Leafy owes me a pint after Blackpool, But i dont mind refreshing his vocal chords in France.

SSHHHHHHHH!!! He was supposed to be supping that pint secretly if you remember.we had to hide it from prying eyes!!

Leafy can have a pint off me anytime.Dons legend.Just hope hes here next year as well.

Thats why I am prepared to chuck at least a fiver in if there is a collection at the Gateshead game

Well i might try and see if we can have a bucket for donations for the lads to have a cold beer from the fans of Doncaster and hopefully some of them will return next season.




I will try and get to the fans traveling over to France to donate something for the guys.

Posted with Hindsight Karlos was it ?. How the hell are we supposed to know that they are playing for nothing. The club is in a shambles. I have taken the decision to stay away because it breaks my heart to see what has happened and it rankles me beyond belief to see visiting fans 'gloating; at our predicament. This situation is as bad as it's been for years and years and you cannot pretend otherwise. I take with me to games a bloke who has followed this club as long as it has been in existence and I take exception to your comment. No one and I mean no one loves the club more than my Father In Law. But the sight and sound of visiting fans taking the mick was too much to bear. We fully appreciate the efforts of the players who play for feck all and with little to gain and get to be on the receiving end of every game. Not a question of can't be bothered, tar that to to the majority of folk who have never been bothered, and to the folk running the club who have taken the urine.

The RFL pay all travel/hotel expenses

Sorry you have taken it so personally.At the end of the day we all know the situation the club is in and none of us like it.Believe me people behind the scenes are trying there best to get something together to try and save the club we love.
Ive heard that the players played for nothing yesterday.My post is simply because those lads deserve all the support they can get, not the hardcore support of which yourself and your father in law are included turning there backs on them.
My current personal situation means i shouldnt be going to france next week, but i am going on my own to cheer them on and hopefully buy a couple of them a pint after the game. Thats how i want to try and back them.Not by not attending.But we all have different opinions.

Like i said earlier im sorry if you have taken offence but im only been honest.

I applaud all of you who have stuck by them, but I have neither the funds nor the inclination to support a club that has been shipping water for months.

I don't know where my hard-earned is going to and that is what concerns me most. If Craig and Pete are jumping ship then there has to be something seriously wrong.

The Keepmoat is certainly not the answer to our present plight. in my opinion it's part of the problem.

In all my years supporting the Dons the club have never been run professionally, to be fair we make Newcastle United look like an example of good management.

Its unfair to blame the Keepmoat, we need to look at what people have been doing inside it, as well as inside Belle Vue, Stainforth & Tattersfield.

Rovers have been lucky and attracted a man not only with money, but also business sense!!!!

Just look at the idea of having a presentation night after the last game, its likely they ll be more ex-players from this year than supporters!!!!
