Yo Dons!
It's a shame that.......because Queens were going on to win... FACT.
Ask any Queens supporter.
I demand an appeal.

So we're exonerated, it would seem. Excellent!

Not sure we're exonerated (yet) as there is still to be a full enquiry. We are however at home to Gateshead a week on Sunday.

good to hear. Let's hope theres more serious consequences for queens, they've been getting away with it for years, now its time to throw the book at them!!

The Dons haven't yet been exonerated as the RFL are still collecting evidence of the incident, the decision to award the Dons the game was probably arrived at because the game had been played more than 60 mins,it would have been very interesting if Queens had been in front when the game was abandoned

Geoff makes a good point, perhaps its a good job we were in front at the time. I have an horrible feeling that we will still get some blame for Saturday even though anyone who actually attended are acutely aware of the culprits. Its the first time we were reluctant to sing so as not to antagonise an already volatile situation. The Queens so called fans were always looking for trouble right from the off, i was in the Beefeater at Lakeside about an hour prior to kick off and was listening to a group of approx 6 Queens fans remenicing about a number of their former conquests. I knew at that point there was likely to be a few problems, never did i think it would be so extreme, if i had i may well have made my exit and gone home.
