| What happened to all the game day entertainment today? I know it was only a small crowd and we need to save as much money as possible but surely at £15 in we can afford the usually sound system and bullman/bullboy? The lack of sound system apart from in the stand meant that it was almost impossible to hear the teams being announced

| They haven't bothered in previous CC games either. I can't say I blame them to be honest either. I can't see the club making much of a profit on games like today.

| I thought that there was some kind of legislation in place saying that there has to be a speaker system in place in case of an emergency (fire)?

| I presume the tanoy system provides this. It wasnt great but I could make out most of what was being said over on the terracing.

| Least of clubs problems at the moment tbf. Don't blame them for cost cutting in slightest in circumstances.

| The tannoy system today was terrible, I was telling some dons fans who our try scorers were because they could'nt make out the names being said...cost cutting or not, bad decision imo.

| If the Club had publicised the match a bit more I'm sure they could have got a bigger crowd.

| IMO a decent turnout today with an all-pay crowd for a lower level attraction.
Reckon Donny will take away around 20K

| Tbf 3,000 is a pretty good crowd for a Championship team nevermind a Championship 1 side.

Maybe but don't under-estimate just how busy everyone at the club is right now. Regardless of extra publicity many people would not have bothered with this match.

I do appreciate that, but they have all been in the press at some time this week. How hard would it have been to ask the fans to show up for the Team and Club? I hardly saw a mention anywhere about the match!

| Perhaps but also maybe wary of over doing it a little? A lot of fans have already contributed a heck of a lot already. I doubt there was a single member who didn't know about this game. It was never going to be the sort of game to attract the casual supporter to be fair.
Obviously there is always more that could be done.

| Agreed.
That so many fans did turn up shows they were aware of the match and attended I think more out of support for the club rather than the occasion.
Hey, 3,800 extra paying customers is a big deal by any standards.
I'll modify the figure somewhat by a lot of Donny supporters who added to the gate and gave great vocal support.

| No Bullettes, do we have to pay for them?. Announcements did my head in, do we normally pay for that?
Car park(field) shut at back of Coral Stand, surely not rented? I know times are hard but after all we've done over the last week or so, this was p**s poor.

| I think we probably did our best to make the costs as low as possible, that way more money goes to Doncaster once it comes to sharing the remainder out.
I guess opening that car park would have cost more for the additional man power/security etc so that's probably why it wasn't used, plus the fact that it wouldn't really have had that many cars in it!

| Yes you're probably right,but the guys who normally man that car park were deployed elsewhere
i.e. my son, so don't think they saved much money,because how would they know what the attendance would be?

| < some of the moaners on this thread, can't believe it really. Well, I can. Many folk just thrive on finding fault.
The crowd was just what you'd expect it to have been, if not even a bit bigger, as the Dons brought many more supporters than I'd been expecting. A couple of years back we pulled not much over 5,000 for a quarter final against Hull and so how on earth can you expect more for a walkover (no disrespect intended, I think everyone knew the likely score before today) against a division 3 team?
The game was entertaining, played in good spirit, and the noisy Doncaster fans added much to it. Loved the chant of "Easy, easy" when they forced a drop out in the second half. i enjoyed it and I'm sure most in attendance thought they got VFM.
The club very obviously cut down on expenses and I didn't see anything wrong with that. I was also disappointed that David Bowie and Pjnk Floyd weren't booked but hey, you can't have everything. It was a low key fixture and I sometimes wonder which planet some folk are on.

Shocking. Dwarfed by the 4,198 at Wigan.

| YOU REALLY CANT WIN... Well done Bulls for doing what you did yesterday. I know people around me were moaning about not hearing scorers and sub changes, however surely we all know our players by now dont we. I would like to give Bulls a proper big up for not booking that bloke steve bailey to announce anything either because what he knows about our club and players most of us have forgotten and i can see he didnt give up his time to do it for nothing, the cheerleaders have done well above thier duties for the last few weeks so why not have a day off. Finally most of the entertaintment before the game is dross anyway, however I cant see why an up and coming band or singer wasnt invited to play there free of charge to showcase thier talents. But overall well done bulls for saving some money especially when 50% of gate receipts has to go to opposing team.

I understand the Bullette get £50 each per game. There are around 10 of them 10 x 50 = £500. If you had just pledged £400 fo a family of four would you be happy with any of it going to pay the bullettes for an early round challenge cup game. I for one would not.

| It was ace like being back in the late 80's/early 90's. We even got a bit of snow while the sun was shining - it felt about 5 degrees colder in the bowl than it did at ground level as it should do.
