The min we start telling fans (who have been supporting the club for many years) that they are no longer welcome when just asking a question is very sad day for my club.

It was a very sad day indeed and a couple of us who attended yesterday preferred to pay the £12 rather than accept a complimentary ticket from the Club based on that statement. Reading the comments on here and talking to other supporters the statement has had quite a negative effect.

That's a good idea.

In current climate affording games has been a struggle,

Previously I have bought season tickets where they have become technically void except for the Club honouring them in goodwill. During that time like many, I still chose to pay on the gate as better than seeing club struggle.

It is fair to ask how this is being funded, but I think it also fair to understand that presently we do have a club that is being run far better and within its means for arguably many many years previous...

Worth everyone trying to keep postings balanced, yes hard to do at times but we are on same side, so let's not let a good gesture go to waste...I think off the back of the reduced price we are likely, if marketted right to see more lottery sales (great idea) and replica shirts...that's where the challenge lies

Looks like a knee-jerk reaction post to me and I hope Carl is now regretting it.

S-O, like the rest of us, just wants a little stability for the club. I can understand his concerns and, as has been said, his chief concern has been the standard of officiating, not how the club is being run. Congratulations to you on turning the club's financial fortunes around, Carl and team.

My grouch was and still is the one-man rugby we were, and apparently are still, dishing up.

I'm tempted by the offer, although am a bit reticent because I've failed to ignite the enthusiasm of my offspring and haven't attended for some considerable time now.

I will pencil 22nd August down in my diary now though and, just for once, they may have to indulge Dad

Is anything going to be done as regards a collection for Gary Purdham's family at the game btw?

Doncaster v Workington
Sunday 22nd August 2010 - KO 3.00 pm
at the Keepmoat Stadium

The Dons are going back to 50's for the final League game of the 2010 season.

We are holding a big celebration for our last home game against Workington on the 22nd August, on a Fifties theme to encompass our Heritage Project.

The commemorate the occasion, the Club has produced a one-off replica 1950's playing kit in which the the Dons will play and which will then be auctioned to the fans after the game.

Maybe also us fans can help make the occasion by turning up in our oldest shirt and lets see as many different Doncaster shirts as possible even the dragons and lakers ones.

I'll probably have one of my old Dons ones on, and, I'll have a wander round pre-game to see how many shirts there are that I can get a photo of.

The last game of the season is always our traditional suited and booted game!

Re: Details For Final Game Of Season : Tue Jul 27, 2010 5:50 pm  

I am liking the old shirts idea...

Darryl - what about 50's style suited and booted??

Re: Details For Final Game Of Season : Tue Jul 27, 2010 6:31 pm  

A suit over a Dons shirt would be cool.
