C1 Swinton Lions - 25/04/11 : Thu Apr 21, 2011 8:52 am  

Hi Guys,

Looking forward to coming to the Keepmoat on Sunday, can you guys tell us what the admissions is for full paying adults and concessions?

Also, what are your score predictions?

Hello,

£12 for adults or £10 if pre purchased.
£10 for concessions or £8 if pre purchased.

Could go either way though i suspect you may be too good for us.

How good is it though for the long suffering fans of both Donny and Swinton having a decent start to the season?

If we play as we did against Workington you will be in for a tough time, but if we play as we did against Rochdale then you will thrash us!

PS the car park is £4 and the money doesn't go to the Dons, So park elsewhere and buy a raffle ticket instead!

Tony Miller has a number of concerns ahead of Mondays fixture. Nev Morrison and Chris Green are back with Hull over the Easter period and on-loan three-quarter Michael Coady is rated a major doubt. Craig Fawcett comes back in to contention but forwards Matt Carbutt, Kyle Sampson and Adam Scott will need further checks before being considered.

Aaron Dobek, Grant Edwards and Shaun Leaf remain sidelined.

Jamie Bovill serves match two of a five match ban.

It's all turning into a bit of farce with not being able to field our best side of late.
What is the point??
Very disappointing.
Just how are we expected to beat Swinton with a cobbled together side?

It will have to be a super effort.
COYD

PS it said in the Free Press that Adam Scott (knee) and Kyle Sampson (ankle) were set to miss this match. Mind you it is the Free Press.

Lets hope some of the 'doubts' make it.

Still, we could be the surprise package in the play-offs. And if we are going to be good and field our best side, it's better at the business end. The problem is we aren't the sort of side to win many away games in play-offs. We did it at Oldham under Hanley, but our side had more talented individuals then. And therein lies the problem ... we don't have enough flair players, players that can turn games. We have some, notably Butterfield and Kesik ... maybe Spaven on his day. The rest are very good players and gel into a hard working team that really competes, but the flair is lacking. I am discounting the on-loan players. it's all in my worthless opinion of course, but they are still a fine side. Anyway ... COYD

It's never a good time to have so many injuries but i'd rather have them early in the season than towards the end.
