I'm starting a new thread to stop the Hunslet one getting sidetracked.

After the result today I think it is time to accept some home truths and for the club to admit that they got things wrong.

However I'm not expecting that. The Rovers management won't allow that.

What will happen will be a club official will come on here under an avatar name and acuse me of not being a true supporter.

But to honest I just don't care. I just don't care about the Dons anymore. The club doesn't care about its supporters anymore so why should I?

"Rugby League is a simple game played by simple people. Rugby union is a complex game played by w*nkers" - Laurie Daley:32781.jpg



Feel a little bit like that myself to be honest. Rovers now having a controlling interest was never a good idea. When the 'community' stadium was built it has Rovers coloured seating, all the advertising is Rovers based. The whole thing stank. And why don't they relay the pitch in the middle of the football season? Any gardener will tell you the best time to plant new grass is September/October!
Now we plebs can no longer use the bar on matchday and my enthusiasm has waned.

I've been saying since the terrible friendlies,
how many of the first six league games would we win?
I was poo pooed ...
I cannot predict our first win, I seriously can't.
It will come ... but we are seriously shot below the water line.

Got to agree with the above, also everyone else except club doncaster could see all the other teams recruit well for the season whilst we went backwards

I've voiced my concerns and some thoughts and also been shot down by the apologists.

Something has to change and change quickly before the other teams are out of sight and the season is a right off.

Yes lets blame the situation on folk who side with the club and then get called apologists. Yes its my fault bring it on. It's the Dons for crying out loud what do you want a letter in the post saying Dear Steve, Dear Brian we are so sorry we got the recruitment wrong. You are right and we know shock all about running a rugby league club. I am surprised that given the Knights excellent result yesterday that somebody hasn't said we should be a Castle Park and pitch in them them. It's been a while.

So, is someone who comes on and voices a contrary opinion to the masses an apologist?

There are undoubtedly some issues that need resolving, but at the same time, I still feel there are some fans of the club who are enjoying the failings of the Dons a bit too much, but, I can't say that, as I'd get accused of being an apologist...

y apologist I mean people who can see nothing wrong with what is happening now and blind faith in a back office team who do not engage with us as supporters, as I have said previously everyone is entitled to an opinion.

I don't expect a letter from the club, I expect the club to do things to put it right.....stop the rot before its beyond repair.

For the record I don't enjoy the results as they are at the moment and having spoken to Stu at work I can see that the results are hurting the team, but I can also see that DR has been hurting the team to with players who have slogged their guts out getting dropped.

I'd love to join up with the Knights. Our coach already works for them, we train train there, we play there (when our owners kick us out), you can get a decent pint and decent food, some of their supporters might come and watch the Dons play and most impirtantly they know how to run a rugby club. Our owners can't even run a football club, so no chance taking on a rugby team too.

A totally different quality of teams in the league now though and we are STILL THE SAME QUALITY.
Thats the BIG difference that why we feel a bit worried for OUR CLUB.

I tell you what,rather than banging on about how useless we are, which we are, I will make some friends and not post again at all until after we win a game ... as Oates said as he left Scott's tent to die ....'I may be some time' ...lol

The club must know the depth of feeling about the poor start to the season and the speculation as to why, so isn't it time for another forum so that questions may be asked and some straight talking done.
