Will the announcement tell us that Keightley has come out of special measures?

Jane had a cup of coffee last night. I don't think she slipped in any 'special measures'. She appeared quite sober throughout the entire evening!

One funny thing happened, that might not reach the minutes: it was suggested that Carl should play in Kes's testimonial on Sunday. He joked that he'd be okay to go on to kick-off but then he'd need to be substituted!

With regards to your question about the half-time draw, Brian - Ray Green looks after this. He said the prize money is directly related to ticket sales. He added that whilst there were a lot of Hull fans at the game, not many seemed interested in buying the tickets. If ticket sales increase, the prize money will go back up again.

I must admit that I normally get a ticket but with having to go to the ticket office first I forgot to get one when I got back round to the turnstiles. I think I was also in shock after buying my first ever ticket at the Over 60s concession rate. I've been in denial that I'm 60 but buying that ticket made it a reality!

I've now recovered from the shock so half-time draw ticket sales will be boosted by my purchase this Sunday!

Do you have a rough idea when this statement will be released ?

Jane was hopeful that she'd have everything typed up sometime today. I'm keeping my eye on my Inbox so as soon as the minutes land, I'll get them posted on here.

I've got to go out shortly (around 4pm) but I'll be back home around 5.30. I promise I'll get the minutes posted on here as soon as I receive them.

No club announcement as promised,so are the minutes waiting for the club announcement or the announcement waiting for the minutes.Just like always,an absolute shambles and in no way encourages supporters to go down on Sunday in support of Kyle Kesik. It doesn't bother me cause I'm not interested anymore but loyal supporters deserve better.

absolutely disgusting the lack of information from the club what the hell is going on why are we the fans who pay our hard earned money to keep this club going told absolutely sod all,,, surely CLUB Doncaster is a business and the first rule of business is KEEP THE CUSTOMERS HAPPY,, I feel totally alienated and cut off from the team/club Ive spent half my life supporting.

We normally get the minutes of the meeting the following day. They've not been sent out yet. There may be a good reason for this, I don't know.

With regards to the last two posts, the club never promised an announcement today. They said an announcement would be made. Maybe I was too quick to presume the announcement (and minutes) would be out today - so please blame me, and not them.

As soon as I know any more, I'll update you.

It has a strong whiff of the "Albert Brothers to Sign" Fiasco.....the promise of "Jam Tomorrow"

"The minutes of the meeting will be published tomorrow when the club will be making a formal announcement." This is what you said last night after the meeting DM. So someone at the meeting must have said something about an announcement and it can't be much clearer than that.The supporters are being treated with so much contempt it is unbelievable.Some good news about signings or quality loan players would have put maybe 200 or 300 extra on the gate towards Kyles benefit but the club hasn't got a clue.

It has an even stronger whiff of the club listening to the fans and taking action to deal with the concerns raised.

Well DM was at the meeting, so in the absence of the minutes/announcement, which we will get presumably before the match, he has, without stealing someone else's thunder, intimated it is good and not bad.
Let's see and judge then ...

It HAS however got to be as far in advance of the Leeds game as possible to enhance the crowd.

We will see.

The minutes of the Fans Panel Meetings are normally published the day after the meeting. The club's announcement was going to be included in the minutes which also forms part of the reply to the questions we (the fans) asked at the meeting.

No one from the club actually said the minutes would be available on Friday or that the announcement would be made on Friday. That was an assumption I made bearing in mind how things have been done in the past. I'm sorry if I built up people's hopes. I did not intend to mislead anyone. I'm as keen as you are for everything to be made public!!!

Kes has been great for this club. We all love his commitment and drive because this characterises much of what we love about rugby. I sincerely hope that not one single person stays away on Sunday because of any disagreements with the club. That's simply not fair on Kes.

Can I just ask you DM, irrespective of what this action to fans concerns may be, had the club decided this before the meeting off their own bat and not as some back-of-a-fag-packet response to anything arising in the meeting?

Having attended last night, I can advise that it would seem to be arrangements only concluded in the last couple of days which the Club, and in particular Carl Hall, have been working on / negotiating for some time.
