Just tidying a cupboard which is my dumping ground lol. Found my stash of my newspaper reports from 1999-2001, some good memories.
Remember the York Wasps away game where we had our first away victory for 2 years, I covered the Yorkshire post that day.
A photo of me with alex murphy which i think was in the donny star, when i was getting a signed copy of his book.
The report from the house of rain, instead of house of pain, when the posts came down at half time at Belle Vue in a freak storm.
Some great memories here.
what we would do now for a money man to bring us back some good times

Quite rightly, with decisions like that, he drifted out of the game.

That was also against York IIRC.
I was there ....what a laugh.
An announcement went out for anyone with a hacksaw in their car boot.......'any burglars present?'
The 45 degree sleety rain....what a laugh 
Happy days. |

Did they also ask if somebody had any allen keys on them!! Great stuff!
Also a one of the best memories always for me was when we came back from the dead at Rochdale and Anton Garcia went over in the corner with about a minute left to win the game.There wernt many of us behind the sticks but everyone went mental!! The same game where Mansson was sent off after about 5 minutes.

That was a fantastic day out and Jamie Fielden was virtually in tears. |

Was that as good as the Leigh game at Belle Vue with the Johnny Woodcock last minute winning try? |

I would go for the Rochdale one over the Leigh game to be honest.
Though the Batley Promotion game would take some beating

| Also, the way Tattersfield looked at the start of the 94/95 season.
I started watching the Dons regularly in 1987 but had been going
to Tattersfield on and off since the late 70's and to be fair it was a bit
of a state but at the start of the 94/95 season it looked great.
In fact it wasn't finished until 20 mins before kick off for our first Home
game, live on Sky, against Widnes. We won 21-6 and held top spot for
48 hrs. "Little Doncaster" as Eddie Hemmiings called us!
I often wondered how the Dons would have got on if Tattersfield had
not been sold off and demolished. I drive by every day on my way to
work and it has never been built on....such a waste 
Watching RL in Doncaster has never really been the same since. |

Absolutely spot on. I too pass it on my way to work.
If only?
