I had a pint of that 1879 stuff and enjoyed it, as i also enjoyed the game.

As said wilko and waterman looked good, good to see Waller back and looking trim!

I am also glad we ran the ball at the end we nearly got through for the try.
Well done the Dons a decent game for the first of the season and without cookey or snitch.
Does anyone know what we actually had the TRY disallowed for?

The Ref being inept.

As for what excuse he gave I've no idea

Fair enough you clearly had a different angle to the rest of us - speaking of which I saw a camera in the gantry on twitter, will there be highlights of the game coming later?

One idea would be to try all of them and then decide which you like best

talking of beer,my son went to bedford to watch the Knights .got 4 pints in the club bar £19,40p please.wooooot

I didn't get a DVD post match, but I'll see what I can get done with the rest of the games.

With regard to the attendance at the Hull game, the Dons official site is stating there was an attendance in excess of 1500, but no specific figure given.

The beer thread has drawn me into comment

It would be good if someone at the club looked at this and considered the beer and the demand for real ale. This month would have been a perfect opportunity for marketing the proper stuff at the Keepmoat. The Dons have four consecutive home games, the Rovers have two well attended games coming up in Barnsley and Notts County at home. Is it not beyond the comprehension of Club Doncaster to have one eye on the fixtures coupled with the shelf life of real ale and put the two and two together.

We have a real ale thread running on this board that's a prime example of supporter interest. Bloody hell, someone must be capable of joining up the dots ?

The bloke who has poured (no pun intended lol) all his savings into the success that is the Doncaster Brewery Tap would be a decent starting point of contact for the club IMO.

According to the Hunslet forum, they are playing Salford at home the day before they play us.

Not sure what that will mean for the squad they send to us on the Sunday, or the fitness of anyone who may have to play in both

I also think I read somewhere that Rovers may have a match scheduled for then if they beat Bristol? Seen as there are 2 weeks between our last friendly and the league start it might be best to move it? On the Hunslet board most don't seem too keen to attend both.

Rovers got beat last night so they have no need for the ground that weekend now
