Beating Barrow at the HJ, Warrington in 2012 wasn't too shoddy either.

Dark memories of that day for me Wanderer, a great win and event tarnished by the resignation of the chairman and coach at the final hooter .

See Steve your memory of watching the Dons is fading fast.
Get yourself back and get some new memories Steve.

Some of the most memorable games I have seen the Dons play

Defeating Leeds away at Headingley 26th October 1963 by 22-12 winger Brian Tasker scored four tries to equal the clubs tries scored in a match record set by Vernon Grace against Rochdale Hornets 4th October 1952

Dons beating Leeds at Tattersfield 7-6 in 1963 thanks to a long range drop goal by stand off Vince Hattee

Dons winning at Hilton Park against Leigh Alex Murphy played scrum half for Leigh, forward Steve McManus was the star of the Dons team

Dons winning at Mount Pleasant Batley to win promotion to the big league

Winning there first game in the big league away at St Helens

Does anyone remember going to the Friday night away fixture at Barrow when the team bus broke down I dont think the game kicked off until around 08-45pm
The local fish & chip shop did a roaring trade that night I seem to recall that the supporters coach also broke down on the way back home.

Does any remember the fiasco when we played a Sunday away game at Carlisle lots of supporters made the trip on arriving at the Carlisle we were told the match was off as the pitch was frost bound & unplayable.

Happy Days

No after that ... I started watching in 86 and I was at that game and talking to Roger Millward, their coach, in the bar under the stand after the game.
We won about 18-14.
