To be fair, Dons wouldn't want their game to clash with a team playing more attractive rugby.

Bit ominous that all home games for both clubs are on the same Sunday except when the 2 sides meet. Later Ko will rule out grandsons as they have school the next day.

I'll believe it when I see it, but if it did happen it would be a massive own goal by the club. If Rovers feel the need to allow them to play at our stadium, they should fit in whenever, wherever possible. I couldn't care less if Sheffield make their fans travel every week,it won't affect me, I wouldn't go to watch them , it would make a mockery of club Doncaster. As for Sheffield needing somewhere to play in another town, when there are two stadiums in their city, says a lot about what Sheffield think of their own rugby league club.

If Sheffield push us out of the Keepmoat then personally I will be calling the club to try to cancel my season ticket.

Who is in control of the availability of the Keepmoat?

Not try and cancel i WILLCANCEL and get a refund

Good luck with that.

Sheffield should play at the athletics stadium, they are after all used to that kind of view.

I feel for those who have purchased season tickets, if the facts we have heard about the share and the fact that we are going to play later on Sundays turn out to be true are we are essentially the "undercard" for the Eagles then I think every single Dons supporter should boycott home games as a show of their objection to this move by "Club Doncaster".

I suspect any money raised by this venture will not be poured into the Dons playing squad it will be split between the Rovers and us and I suspect due to their higher running costs they would get the lions share of it.

I cannot see any direct benefits to the Dons with this venture...it will benefit "Club Doncaster" in a financial sense but it will alienate a great deal of the loyal Dons supporters and for some it maybe the final straw in their continued support of the club, which as we push to increase attendances is something they can ill afford to do.

Nothing is official yet , in fact Eagles are still in talks with the Stadium management at Owlerton !

Yeah but isn't this always the way ? "Buy your season tickets now and give us your money before we give you the bad news......"

Not normal here mate don't know about sheffield!

You're on your own with that one Griff.

Apparently not.

Really ?

Yes. You're saying that the majority of teams sell season tickets and then wallop fans with bad news. That's an absolutely laughable claim. You can't even say that Sheffield do it as we haven't started selling them yet!

Also, you laugh at the fact that one Dons fan has no chance of getting a refund on a season ticket if Doncaster were to move to Castle Park, or wherever. As the season is still months from starting, the ticket won't have been used so I see no reason why he wouldn't be able to get one.

Doncaster fans are obviously going to be aggrieved about these rumours and you're not helping matters by deliberately winding them up with blatant fabrications.

Nah, Griff would never do anything like that.

Stop being sensible and pragmatic! He won't like it!

We're all getting wound up about this when we haven't really got an idea what's happening.

I have every confidence that the Dons will do everything in their power to make sure we don't get a bad deal out this.

If two games are to be played on the same day, the Dons must get first choice, and I would assume they would opt for the 3pm option. Sheffield would have to fit in with a 6pm kick off, or play their games on Friday night if they don't like it.

I'll still be there regardless of when we play even though a 3pm kick off is much my preferred option.

You're entitled to your opinion, HL. This is a forum. I welcome debate.

Thanks for putting words into my mouth and explaining what I meant.



I still don't think the lad will get a refund on his season ticket.

To repeat my earlier question (because i don't know the answer btw) who owns/administers the ground and, hence makes the decisions?

The ground is essentially managed by Club Doncaster

I would be amazed if the Dons refused to give a refund.

The ethos of the Dons is based around trust and integrity. Should the goal-posts (or in this case the rugby posts) be moved, and anyone wants their money back, I would guess the club would do the right thing.

The lack of comment from The Dons is worrying. They have been quick to respond to things in the past that were untrue.
