Until they got their pay cheque..........

Playing at the KM was a big factor in us signing at least three of the lads last season,when you visit places like Oldham and Whitehaven where the dressing rooms are so small you have to get changed in shifts ,it puts in to perspective what great facilities we have. Our toilets are larger than most of the changing rooms at other grounds ,when you play away from home it really opens your eyes to what we have in Doncaster. If we could increase the crowd then the place would be one of the best in the league.

yes,it's handy having big toilets............................

sod the quality of the playing staff and other minor points......

Thanks for the feedback Chunkster. I'd guessed the ground and facilities would be a good selling point to potential players.

The point i was trying to make is that players see what the club has to offer ,when Kyle Sampson signed for us he had an offer from Fev, after veiwing the stadium he said he wanted to sign.Hence we signed a good player as he wanted to play in a first class stadium week in week out.Unless you have been in some of the other stadiums changing and shower rooms you cant realise how good ours are.Most sides dressing rooms would be under par for an amature club never mind a semi pro team. Money at this level is not the only motivator in a players decision where he signs, and playing at the KM has to be a plus in our favour. We dont throw money at players like some clubs do so good facilities can help to bridge the pay gap.

As long as I am a supporter ... the Dons will always have the best house.

And sorry to be negative ... but Kyle Sampson (for such a big and athletic bloke) has been a huge disappointment.

Back to increasing support, pre-season friendlies have not been a help either.
We have either played at Hunslet away (wow!) or let a big club come here and put 50 by us for the revenue.

One game should be the Eagles at the Keepmoat for the South Yorkshire Cup.

My sympathy is with the club, it is just so difficult to make the right decision. It's easy for a smart@rse like me.

Money may be your god pal but a lot of players and staff at clubs dont have the same values as you. Yes it is good when you can make a large amount of money for playing a game you love,but pride and passion for a team go a long way as well ,if players were purely money motivated they would not be at Donny i can assure you of that.

Chunkster was offering an informed insight into the club and we should respect his view.

Insulting him is out of order. Thanks again Chunkster for sharing the info with us.

Thanks for the support guys, i have large shoulders and can take the flack from the odd know all , i refuse to lower the tone by engaging in a slanging match, if any one wants to discuss my posts i will be more than happy to speak to them in person , especially you Sanjunien. People come on here saying they dont get any information from the club,all i try to do is give a fair and honest opinion on what is happening regarding the lads. It is not my intention to rattle anyones cage ,but obviously on this occation i have upset a former rugby league god who has taken exception to my views which is fine ,and i dont have a problem with that. Ask any of the players here why they signed for the club and i bet not one of them will say they signed for the money. ps The rent at the Keepmoat is very reasonable as we have a deal with the council

I can't see what the fuss is.
Chunkster and sanjujien are both right in their own way.
sanjunien is right that in most cases players will just go to where the better deal is.
But Chunkster is also right, that if a player is faced with two very similar deals, he will be swayed by the facilities and the set-up.
Right that's that sorted!
Next?

Well done Dr Kissinger!
