| Just seen on the match fixtures section of the official site that this game is listed to be played at Castleford's Mend a Hose stadium. I know Wanderer posted on the Dons supporters Facebook page that it was in doubt at the Keepmoat because the pitch may not be quite ready.
I hope this is not correct because it appears that the pitch can stand Rovers v Newcastle Utd (friendly) on Friday 23rd July but we have to traipse off to Castleford
Eagles are listed to be at home on 25th July against Halifax, KO off at 4.30pm, I wonder where that game is being played?
Clarification from the club would be appreciated if the above is correct or not.

Once again communication between club & fans Lacking..

| And revenue stream Paul, decent crowd for the Rovers and a good few from Newcastle versus our 6/700. We don't have a chance. And there is no way you can dress up playing at Castleford (neutral venue ) has a home game. Crusaders must be chuffed.

Where is the official announcement of Pete Bells memorial game? which it turns out now appears to be our first home game proper on August 1st v Hunslet. The offer that the club have put out to the community clubs of 2 adults and 2 children cannot be faulted. However the only source I have seen for this is on the Dons supporters facebook page.
This warrants being advertised all over the sham. Pete was great bloke and deserves a really good attendance to commemorate his life and contribution to the club.

| Sadly, the issue of the North Wales fixture appears to be being handled very poorly.
Communication on the subject appears non existent and changing the information on the fixture list without an official announcement almost looks 'sneaky'. Surely the Club wishes to be seen in a better light than this?
Furthermore if a football friendly can be accommodated on the Friday it is incredibly poor form if a League One rugby league fixture cannot also be played 2 days later.
Hopefully an explanation will be provided sooner rather than later.

Rovers have announced the last of their pre season friendlies, home against Sheff Utd on 28th July. Its beyond a joke for me and I'm glad that the 5 match ticket I recently purchased will not be wasted by visiting Castleford.
We all realise that the Keepmoat is out of bounds for games whilst the playing surface renovation takes place but make sure that the communication is bang on and not left to fans to find out themselves by hunting around the bloody internet.
Get your fingers out Club Doncaster comms team

That's what i was getting at, we had factored in that we would have to purchase an extra ticket to see all the remaining games at the Keepmoat, now we can save £24.

The explanation on the website is: "The move comes to give the Keepmoat Stadium extra time to prepare for a busy schedule of fixtures across Club Doncaster in August."
This absolutely beggars belief.

Rovers at home 7th and 21st Aug.
Dons at home 1st 22nd & 29th
Eagles at the KM? 1st 15th
Is there a scenario of unless the Eagles find another venue for the game against York(KO 4.30pm) on the 1st do we have a 2pm KO for the Dons?

| If Sheffield playing at the Keepmoat in August is a contributory factor in putting too much pressure on the Keepmoat pitch, resulting in us having to play at Castleford, then whoever made the decision to allow Sheffield to play here in the first place has got some questions to answer.
Looking at the Eagles website, they've not got any venues down for their matches apart from declaring the Halifax game on 7th July is at Wakefield. Maybe the Eagles have been asked to play their August games elswhere?
Wilf, our home game on 1st August against Hunslet is shown on the Dons' website as having a 2.30 kick-off.
It would be nice if the club could clarify why a Rovers friendly two days before the N Wales game can take place but our match can't.

I could understand it DM if say they needed to give the playing surface an extra week to set or whatever the correct term is. What is annoying is we have to move and travel and yet the football team get to play two games on it in less than a week during the pitches alleged vulnerable period.
Anyway I've done this to death, time to move from Pitchgate  and look forward to a top 3 finish

| There's nothing on the Dons' website but there's something on the Dons' Facebook page about a possible bus to Cas if there's enough interest... just thought I'd mention it.

| In theory, this match could now be played at the Keepmoat but as the reason for moving the game to away from the Keepmoat was because of too much activity on the pitch in August, it may follow that the game cannot be rescheduled until September for the Keepmoat?
The last round of league matches is scheduled for Sunday 12th September. A midweek game with vital home games in this period could be quite energy sapping on the players.
Let's hope there's a change of heart and Club Doncaster allow the match to take place at the Keepmoat in August.
North Wales may have less reason to want to get the match played because under the 'percentage points' rules they may feel they are more likely to benefit from it not being played at all.

| I wouldn't be surprised if this game never happened. North Wales will be in no rush to travel here midweek for a game that was called off through no fault of their own
