Farce.........

O/t Halifax 60 v Dewsbury 6

The word good springs to mind.

Not really stand offish , they play us next

Yes, but I was referring to Dewsbury and BGJ..
As for Halifax, if we can't compete, what the hell are we doing in this division.

The Dons will take time to adjust, this division is a much tougher than C1, teams are fitter, faster, stronger and more savvy, we don't have anywhere near the freedom of last season. Teams that were already in this division are struggling to compete with the top three, wouldn't be too hard on our team. Need to play a bit smarter at times , and not think we can score on every play, last season with most teams that worked, won't this. I said at the start of the season third bottom will do, and i haven't changed my mind. Stay in the division and build slowly . Without promotion and relegation from the super league, finishing up there at the top end can wait, can't go anywhere.

too much secrecy at the club they are not transparent enough except when they want our money, i want them to be more open with whats going on at OUR club , hardly anything in local press these days , come on the dons we want to know , even the match reports the star get shorter every week

The match reports are nothing to do with the club though...

Olddon I made the same point under my concerned thread. ! I am not blaming Mark but we get to know so little with regard the playing side .

Still concerned .

I don't really understand this build slowly malarkey.
There will be a decrease in fans, not the wished for increase in fans, if we are near the bottom.
Whatever we will do next season to build slowly, why can't it be done now?
And if it is all down to money, where will the money come from next year that this year can't be conjured up.
And also with a lowly side half the players bugger off at the end of the season for better climes.
It's self-perpetuating.

We will have some fun in year three will we?
I'll come back then.

I know what your saying stand offish , and to some extent i agree about fans not coming to see a lowly team, but to spend money you don't have , with no guarantee that it will bring in fans, could well be self destructing .The Dons had a fantastic season , yet no increase as yet. That's why i say build slowly, im just offering an opinion, yours differs and thats fine. Would rather watch a struggling team, than have what's happened in the past and see the club go under. Might not come back next time.

I don't think we differ that much really, we both know any team is better than no team.
I'm just an impatient person who wants jam today not tomorrow.
I don't like to see the lads getting stuffed by sides that have nothing really better to offer in terms of crowd support.

I take your point

i know that , i blame the star for not asking the questions

Its more likely to be the editorial side of the Star thats responsible for the decision on length of match reports. I've seen the depth that Liam and Paul, as well as Steve before them go into in writing a match report, and unfortunately, a defeat for us means less column inches to be filled, as could be seen last season.
