how about a board who stand up at their first press conference and say that in five years they want to be an established second tier club, playing in front of regular gates of a couple of thousand, making the last sixteen or so of the challenge cup every know and then with a team of predominantly local lads who play for the shirt and enjoy their sundays, as does everyone else associated with the club. the pride would come from seeing donny lads step up to the big league, and when they've made it, to hear them on boots'n'all saying that they owe it all to "carl and everyone at the keepmoat who set me on the right road", or whatever

when every one of those entirely deliverable promises has been made good, then reassess things, aim higher, budget accordingly, plan for the future, nurture the local amateur game and maybe dare to dream of another season in the sun that would be the reward for the graft that went before, but in the certain knowledge that it's always going to prove unsustainable in the long term

that's all i ever wish for the club - realistic ambitions, realistic targets, real rugby and real fans - not some over-hyped cock and bull quick fix of tawdry low budget wannabe superleague drivel that's doomed to fail on the unsustainable greed of some clueless marking lovers

Great post, if you go and talk too any investor or potential investor I have spoken to you have almost quoted me word for word I share all the same views as your goodself.

S/O
As for investors wanting to put serious money in we have been down that road before and look where it has got us, quick fix glory so not really interested if they don't want to jump on our ship, for what ever reason they don't want to invest doesn't faze me, we have some very successful business men on board already to take this club forward, and let me assure you all we will die trying to make this a club we can all be proud of.

We have signed three lads who all have great careers ahead of them in the game,
Liam Brown (backrow), Simon Brown(halfback) both from Leeds Rhinos these two have seen how coming to the Dons kick started Luke Burgess and Luke Gales careers and I can see them going the same way after a season or two with us, and also a tough prop from Hull in Paul Shaw, these are all at the right age and hungry to make a name for themselfs so we welcome them with open arms, I have also sent 13 contracts out to players this week so real excited about the future of the Dons on the playing side this will all be left to Tony, my focus is on getting things right off the field and will be doing this by surrounding myself and picking the business knowledge from the group of investors I have assembled.

Will update you all next week with the news re take over,

Carl Hall.

Morning Paul,

Hopefully we will get the all clear and as you say more will join.

If the worst happens, any monies raised would potentially be focused on the local amateur game but we remain hopeful that the Dons will be given the green light for 2010.

Either way the Trust will be looking to forge links with local amateur clubs as one of it's aims.

Gary.

Article in Free Press , Stuart Piper stating it was hoped the deal would have been sealed by the Gateshead match.

The RFL are being contacted on a daily basis , but 4 weeks on we are still waiting !

Say what you mean and mean what you say because those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter.:



Perhaps they want to get the international at Keepmoat out of the way before giving the decision?

Agreed- but meant from RFL point of view not positive spin to be refered to in the press and on tv as "former home of the now defunct Doncaster RLFC" .But sorry no more of these negative thoughts!

kcab sfrawdder Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg

No, not yet sorted.

Our former player and Chief Executive Carl Hall put a business plan to the RFL in August and told them he wanted a decision by Sept 25 but so far no response.
