I really really don't understand why people are finding the new structure complicated, it's simple!. It's a real confidence boost for me though, I must be a genius!

I repeat my question would anyone other than a die hard understand the new structure? Would they even know about it, or for that matter do most of the towns population even know what division we are in?

Going back to the Castle Park issue , we are where we are ,lets give the Rovers experience a chance. I donot go for all this looking back stuff it tends to be negative !

Just my opinion fellow Dons fans .

I agree with you Weighman.
Lets look forward, at the moment everything looks positive, to me anyway.
and the keepmoat would be a criteria for super league, and we now have the chance to get there.

the boards plan is for us to be there within 5 yrs.
Lets get behind them and push us towards that goal.

IMO,i personally think this is why the Rovers bought into the Dons.
Getting into superleague will be less costly than getting into the premiership.
And Could fetch in alot of finances.

The more i look at the structure the more i think it will be a revelation. Its going to create games at the end of the season (in our league not superleague) like the football league playoffs. Everyone thought that was dodgy when it was introduced.The final is now the most lucrative in world football.

I fully agree the positive comments made by Weighman, onedon, and Karlos.

There are lots of reasons to be positive:

1) The Rovers and Dons tie up gives us greater scope to develop going forward
2) We're playing at a good ground that would allow us to enter Super League
3) The RL structure means that Super League rugby is a possibility
4) We have a team that should be competitive at this level
5) We have a coach that most others teams would love to have

Can't wait for the season to start!

i think that P.Cooke could be coaching in Super league in 3 -4 years
and hopefully that will be with the DONS.

but i think this first year could be crucial for him.
i.e keeping us in the Championship.

I think if that is Cooke's goal, we can turn off the lights now.
It's surely to make the top six at least again.

I agree with S-O , 5th would be a good position to finish in.

I don't think we should under-estimate any of the teams in our league.

It's a massive season for everyone. Realistically, finishing 5th would be a really good achievement for us. Anything better would be a bonus but the obvious priority is not to get in a scrap for the relegation spots.

I'm supposed to be the negative one on here.
Butt out you lot!
lol

I'm getting really worried about S-O. He seems a changed man.

I heard a rumour that the club were thinking of introducing a first-half of the match only season ticket especially for him, but they've had to drop their plans now!

I enjoyed the second half of last season. I think we really got it all together.
It ended a bit flat but not for want of trying.
Things under Paul Cooke are good, he has kept the ethos of Tony Miller and pepped it up a little.
What's not to like?

I agree with S-O. There's nothing not to like.

I don't think there has ever been a better time to be a Dons fan.

I hope the Doncaster public come down and give the lads their backing. They deserve it and the club deserves it.

totally agree and well said.
COME ON People of Doncaster!

Lets all get down to watch and get behind the DONS.
You don't know what you're missing and that include the ROVERS fans.
