That's pants ... and I reiterate advertising advertising!

Put the £30 offer on the Hull Fc Board.As you play on Sundays i am certain you would get a fair few from Hull coming over especially if the team is added to with D/R players for some games

Sorry S.O. what it actually shows is that despite this generous offer, there is still a lack of belief in the Club going forward and getting promoted.Signings apart from Liam Harris were uninspiring and I could name at least four players retained for next season that aren't good enough to take the team up.

I can see that....but even so it is cracking value compared with previous seasons and I am persuaded that properly marketed they would reach the 1000.
Not sure now.
On the plus side ... even if we don't get promoted, we should be treated to some cracking games in what will be a very competitive league.
There shouldn't be a dominant side like last season and let's face it Barrow are another very good side missing too.

So plenty to look forward to so they really need to push these sales ... because having a thousand+ in the East stand would be mega.

Anything is worth a try ... good idea.

Hope you are right but yet to be convinced,maybe a couple of overseas players such as a barnstorming prop and centre might swing it.

I think the main problem is attracting such players into C1.

If we could have got those two PNG players we would have been almost there.
Never mind.
There is obviously scope for 2 more...if and when.

Think back to 1986-87 when most of the current supporters started watching the Dons on regular basis they weren't attracted to watch the Dons by the lure of cheap season tickets they came because the team were playing attractive rugby & winning consistently.Ask yourselves the reasons why you started supporting the Dons.
How many season tickets did the club sell last season?
They must get the product on the pitch right & make it an attractive & enjoyable experience for the sporting public of Doncaster to come & support the team.

Surprised we've only shifted 111 I was expecting at least double that, I cannot fault the offer but maybe challenge 350 might have been more realistic! I agree with tatty in that apart from harris the other signings are rather underwhelming but time will tell.

Boyle was an experienced SL prop , also played at Championship level , he should be a good addition to our squad he is also said to be a leader .
We have also got 4 young players on loan from Hull , they cannot get game time at Hull but are highly thought of .

I too hope we sign a couple more players , I would like a prop & full back , time will tell .

Just hope we can sell the season tickets to new & old fans .

I think we need to know the final total not interim ...
The same for the team.
I happen to think that some of the Hull lads are half decent and so are our three signings.
Two of the Hull lads played against Toronto away and were good, Litten was very good.

Let's not bury them before they are dead.
They will compete for the title IMHO.....

I think they will look for more forward power, actively, before the season starts.

If the were going to get the lads from PNG ... they have to.

Tell me who are holding you captive and i'll send for help!

100 sales a week would nearly do it . Think that the postal drop will have to yield results. Cannot fault the initiative .

I think you may be eating a slice of two of humble pie in 6 months time ...

If not I will have yours.

What they ought to do is not be rigid on end dates for this initiative, but to keep adding other periods in stages wherein the same deal applies .... right up until the first home league game.
And even then for that game anyone willing to pay £15 at the gate should be offered a season ticket for £30, or whatever the rate was at that game.
Faced with paying £15 or a simple low multiple (×1,2,3 or 4).... people would take it surely?

Also we need to arrange pre- season friendlies that we will WIN.

Not vs Leeds or Hull .... unless they guarantee it is a weak side we play.
We have to start as winners to sell season tickets.

My money is still on you walking down the gangway chuntering at 4.15pm every other sunday promising never ever to come back!

Not this time ...

After all I am a commited season ticket holder.
I have already accepted the challenge ... got the T-shirt to prove it!
lol

You are a new man S-O , hally will be calling you a happy clapper soon .

I don't do 'happy'!
And as for the clap?.....
Nah!

o/t ,With regards friendlies I think Hull will be off the radar as they will be in Australia .

Good ...
Apart from getting a few bums on seats, I can't see the point in starting pre-season with defeats.

Hunslet at home....
Horne vs Thornton.
That would do it for me as a start.

He was kidnapped at the Presentation Night.

He's not been seen since.
