There needs be a lot of pledge form "in the post" or else the £2k per month is looking a long way off.

The club should have made it easier for fans to complete an online form at the website to get signed up. As I write the SquadBuilder isn't being given enough prominence on the Dons' site.

Some good ideas posted by S/O and Wanderer. Businesses setting donations off against tax shouldn't be interpretted as meaning that it costs businesses nothing. It means they don't have to pay tax on the amount they donate, which in effect means that for every £100 they give, it will cost them around £80 net.

Pity we missed out on a friendly against a Super League club. That would have really helped. Essential that we get a Super League club in the Challenge Cup to boost income!

The large supermarkets might be a good source of sponsorship. From a commercial point of view, being seen to do something for the local community could perhaps be a good selling point.

[iThe bottom line here is that if we don't get Paul Cooke we would be starting the season at a very low ebb, supporters would be very deflated, and the future wouldn't look very good.[/i

We can't afford to miss this opportunity and I would appeal to all fans to give a little if you can.

Didn't I say as much?


It's all depressingly one-way at the moment.


You didn't honestly think we didn't know how tax works did you? I mean if it cost them nothing, getting sponsorship would be the easiest game in town,

Divide Doncaster into 12 areas and run a race night every month for a year, if the spade work is done correctly in all 12 areas I'm sure in total half of the amount required can be reached.

Take all the pedged money we have all ready and lump it on the lottery, hit the jackpot pay Cookie and have a little let over for the squad builder account.

So that's two gambles then?

Hope we get an update b4 the Office breaks up for Christmas.

In the RL Express TM still hopeful of getting his man !

My thoughts entirely.
So that leaves the rest of today and tomorrow to tell us at least something, otherwise it cannot be sooner than 3rd January 2012, unless someone updates us from home.
It's all a bit last-minute and rushed for my liking.
Still I am optimistic that we will get our man.

I only received my form in the post yesterday so they won't receive that until after Christmas. Maybe more people will be the same situation. There's still plenty of time.

so,what's the big rush ?

The club said that they needed to give Cooke an answer in early January.
Whether that has changed I have no idea.

sorry,forgot the uk closes down for two weeks this time of year.....

It does if it's anything to do with the Council, but you'd not get any sense even if they were open. They're too busy whining about pensions!

My season ticket arrived today thought they may have included a form i've not recieved anything by post or email from the club

Luckily was in town on Sat and filled one in whilst I was there
