Im not in a position to criticise a long standing supporter, only started going last season , but i don't really think paying at the ticket office , then a very short walk to the entrance was too much of a bind. Bought a season ticket now so doesn't come into play anyway. I do agree, as I've said before, on the dual reg system, if it carries on the game will lose a lot of players, then when SL clubs decide they want to reintroduce reserve grade rugby, there won't be enough players about for championship teams. It's a great shame that supporters like you appear lost to the Dons , don't really know what else the club can do to bring back old fans and introduce new ones, the success of last season , i thought, would have seen a good increase.sadly , as yet, no.

The Dewsbury crowd was a decent one to be fair.
I reckon along with the Dewsbury fans there were returners coming to have a look.
But what were they served up? ... a defeat from a game that could and should have been a win.
Not good, I reckon they had seen enough after one game.

And yet again last week a defeat from a game that could and should have been won.

The dual reg thing is vexing me because I think in those positions we are NO BETTER than last year and I am starting to get a bit restless. Where is the CLASS???

Brett Waller is the ONLY class addition to our squad, the rest are OK at best.

And another thing while I am griping is, that other teams know now that a certain individual only passes the ball along the line these days and never makes a break or threatens a break. And that is not good.

We need more people to contribute to Squadbuilder ,more money to spend on players , better crowds (hopefully).

Ex fans , not just Steve, seem to make excuses not to come back !

For me leaving Tattersfield cost us hundreds of supporters we have never got back. As Karlos touched on, much of the support at that time was from North Doncaster (Bentley, Toll Bar, Askern, Skellow, Carcroft, Woodlands, Scawsby, Scawthorpe etc). When we relocated to Stainforth, many either wouldn't travel or couldn't get there easily enough on Sundays.

Few of those who drifted away during that time have ever returned.

I along with many fans first started watching the Dons in the mid eighties when John Sheridan got a team with a lot of local lads together who were moderately successful. As the crowds grew from a few hundred to a couple of thousand plus there was a real feeling that the team could go somewhere and maybe one day compete with the big boys. The atmosphere under the old tin roof at Tattersfield was special at times, remember the defeat of Hull KR? The arrival of full time professionalism has killed the chance of such dreams ever coming true again.
All we need is a successful team, a smaller stadium with better access, the return of semi pro RL and the reintroduction of P&R and then we'll be laughing.
