Please note

This weekends game against Whitehaven will be played at Castle Park at 3pm due to the Keepmoat pitch not being ready in time.

This is your chance for all you Pro Castle Parkers

Great!
That's wonderful in that it gives Whitehaven a leg up they should never have had.
It's effectively a pitch strange to both sides.
At least Cooke knows it.

I do hope this will be the last time this happens.
Fooking useless Rovers.

I can feel a disaster coming if Miller plays as well.

I will be a good atmosphere though ...and the bar is great.
Proper ale.

Hooray! Mrs Bear and myself will be in attendance for the first time this year. I'm sure you will find it a far better venue for rugby than the KM.

What next running track next door to KM?

We've already done that one.

I see the conspiracy theories have started !

this is a joke!
We may as well be playing away.

About time we got this sorted , hope it never happens again.
Bad enough without a home game for 5 weeks now it will be 7 wks T******

And why would we find it better than the keepmoat!?

That is where we play.

Could be a better atmosphere ,hope everyone gets down to Castle Park & supports team in an important match !

COYD

Hope the club are putting up posters in and around Armhorpe, and perhaps giving out some tickets in local schools, chance to spread the word. Nothing ventured nothing gained and all that.

I agree with Weighman - there should be a good atmosphere.

We'll get some clues as to how much of a problem the Keepmoat is in keeping people away.

Another opportunity for the people of Doncaster to show their support for the Dons. Let's hope for a good turnout in an important game for us.

I know some people who won't go because it's there...it's swings and roundabouts

I have no objection to the temporary move, I'd rather us break up the long period of away games due to the pitch being relaid by playing home games at CP than have none at all.

I just wish they'd have had known a month ago so we could build up to it, hammer the message around that part of Doncaster and to any floating RU supporters.

I can 100% guarantee someone will turn up at the Keepmoat at 2:50pm on Sunday, get all confused, leave and never come again!

As Jemmo said, it would have helped if there'd been more notice.

I hope the club have a plan to transport anyone turning up at the Keepmoat to Castle Park. Maybe a 3.15 kick off would have been wiser as it would have at least given the car drivers a chance to get to Armthorpe Road in time for the kick off.

The bus users definitely need a lift from the Keepmoat to Castle Park.

I raised that point in discussion last night. The message probably won't reach everyone at this late stage.

I do however agree that playing at CP is more palatable than not having a Home game.

There is a good bus service from town to Armthorpe, better than to the Keepmoat !

Just come through armthorpe on my way home and was disappointed to see the boards outside castle park bare, not a sign that there is a rugby match there this Sunday. Pretty much everyone going to or coming from armthorpe passes those boards, and its a main bus route, yet no-one is being informed. I know it was decided late,but must have been discussed as a possibility when it looked like the pitch was not going to be ready, how much for a large poster?, not that much I suspect so could have been done as a if...... . Are we going to rely on the free press?,that not too many buy anyway.If I didn't use this forum I wouldn't know! . Come on marketing at club Doncaster, pull your finger out.

All Donny Knights season ticket holders can go free too.
I wonder if most of them know?

I doubt it!

I predict a p/ss poor crowd, I also predict that [size=150if[/size Miller plays and [size=150if[/size he is shoite [size=150and[/size we lose, I won't go again until Wilko comes back.

So where is everyone going in the ground? If the whole ground is open I'd probably prefer to stand on the terrace...old school

Some info on this would be welcome, will the bar be open etc. Think i will go in the de Mulder stand , prefer to sit nowadays.

I sat in the stand for a Knights game on a sunny day and it didn't get the sun, which surprised me.
It's facing south isn't it?
Perhaps it's more south east and the sun was too far to the right.

Today I drove past a big poster on a billboard on the old Tattersfield car park overlooking Bentley Rd advertising the Whitehaven game & its states the game is being played at the Keepmoat Stadium.

The main stand is pretty much east facing, ESE (ish)

anyone know if the sportsman has real ale on .

That's pretty pooricon_sad.gif
