if this rumour about him going to sheffield is true ,thats me finished.we,ve got fellow clubs like FEV& FAX bending over backways to give us a hand,and the club are doing nowt to keep the players we have.if its true thursday will be my last game at the keepmoat.what a sad day.

he's don valley bound I think!

looks like i,ll be joining you at post office road in future R.F.F.if it turns out to be true.bloody sheffield i cant believe it

Wonder if his dad will follow him?


Up to this season would have been devasted but not playing with the same enthusiasm this season IMO

His dad already works for Sheffield if I'm not mistaken

It's true--
but i will leave it up to Wanderer or Rugbyman to report from the meeting.

Its true its been confirmed at the meeting tonight.

Yep. Got told a couple of days ago by someone who knows him well, didn't want to put it on here, as I wanted to respect the guy who told me.

He has got to look after his family......it's just business.
Bloody Eagles.

Eagles? More like vultures!!!!

I'm now getting seriously pi**ed off with this.

I can sympathise, when we went into Administration part of the soul was ripped from Widnes, all of our promising talent went Myler/Sidlow etc and nearly all established first teamers went. Something always pops up though so while your all feeling pretty crap at the moment things will come good again for the dons.



Keep your chins up!

Cheers matey.

I heard today that two players were coming to the Eagles,Green being one who is the other?,Wouldnt surprise me if it wernt Craig cook.

Craig Lawton.

The Dons without Peter Green and Craig Lawton.......aren't really the Dons.

Pete Green confirmed - anyone else is just speculation at this stage.

Match day attendances will always be the factor in holding onto players feel so sorry for the loyal fans who turn up week in week out to support their team i have travelled to watch them a few times this season (being a season pass holder at Castleford) and their efforts have deserved more support than what they have been getting so the only people to blame are the armchair supporters for not turning out to support them

No doubts the Keepmoat is a fantastic venue but that is costing an arm and a leg to the Dons surely? i thought a move was on to another ground a while back what's happened to that?

Very tough to support the Dons at the moment........even i who consider myself a die hard fan.....am struggling.

I thought i would never hear myself say it....but if the worse should happen, should that be an end of an era...?

I cannot even think what team we will even field on Thursday - and i cannot stand to listen to the likes of Clarke and Ben Pro etc talking about administartion and the like...

Green going to me speaks volumes...Not sure Seagulls need too many more players anyway?

Also who is bankrolling them? - becuase if you look at the scenario of small attendnaces and big stadium....

The deal with the Keepmoat is a significantly reduced one from last season (but may still be more than can be realistically be afforded).

There is currently no potential move to play elsewhere.

I was told weeks ago that Peter Green was on his way to Sheffield by another player but thought it was just speculation. His dad working there will certainly have influenced the decision I'm sure.
As stated in a previous thread-we've had it!

As soon as players were offered reduced terms to get a hold of the finances they essentially became free agents, if they can get better deals else where they can go...this is not a case of us particularly getting rid of Pete, Kyle or Paul (etc), but the better players will get the better offers...that's obvious

Pete has been through this situation more than any man should with the Dons, and he is not getting any younger. He owes us nothing but owes his family all he can

My next bet is Michael Haley to Fax or Widnes
