Well every club that comes down here will have carte blanche to cherry pick anyone on the Dons side that plays any good against them....if they want.
That's a rubbish position to be in.
I remember when our side folded two years ago and went into a CVA and all the players of any worth, apart from some really faithful ones, left.
The side we fielded against Rochdale away and got hammered is a memory I don't want to return to....but fear will repeat itself.


I couldn't watch a ritual slaughtering of brave Donny lads for the remainder (still the bulk) of the league season.
It would be like watching somebody getting kicked when they were down......not nice to watch.

Cannot blame Pete for going he's been through the mill with us and he does have a family to look after these days.

Good Luck to him and thanks for all the years good service.

Picking up on what others have said, how come Sheffield with similar attendances and no major financial backer can manage to attract world cup players and build a winning side on a what one would imagine to be a similar sized playing budget.

I think something has gone terribley wrong with the club yet again.

I support what has been said about Pete. He owes the Club and the fans nothing and has to look after his family now.

Thanks and Good Luck I say.

I agree, but when a player who's Donny to the bone leaves we are in big trouble.

Good luck Pete, although you won't need it as much as The Dons!

They run a successful Lottery that pays a good commission to amateur clubs who have tied in with them.

100% agree. It says much about the current situation that Pete has finally ended his association with the Club.

And perhaps they are good at maths

It's not the maths, It's getting out of the amateur zone and going out and selling your product to any sporting body that is willing to listen and give it a go (Lots of littles are better than now't)

They got there sums wrong at the start of the season we were told they had done a budget for home crowds of 800 which with the money from the RFL they would be alright we were never in a strong enough financial position to play & compete in Nat League 1 as I said last September they should have refused the offer of promotion until the club was on a more sound financial footing

Some 1 said last night that there isn't a massive difference between the 2 divisions apart from more away support this season, so were better off in this division imo.

Nat 1 players expect to be paid more money than Nat 2 players
