Well a crowd of 644 and 2/3 of those were from Fev and that's a conservative estimate!
I got the feeling that todays game was the last time a fev team would play pro-rl in Donny! Sad.
Directors and officials gone. Players gone and most of the fans gone. I'll doff my cap to the remaining few stoicly seeing out the season to the bitter end.

If you see the grim reaper - tell him to p1zz off! Hope you see a resurection!

Im sorry but i just cannot join in with the " thanks for your efforts lads" posts that are going on here.As soon as the contracts have been terminated theyve gone.they could have played on match terms but chose not to. Id sooner concentrate my efforts on lads who are sticking it out and the people behind the scenes who are trying to make sure there is a team here next year.

I know ill get stick for this but thats how i feel.

Good post Karlos, They could have stayed for the last three weeks and then decided.

Agreed Karl.

I know for a fact that Craig Lawton has been looking to leave since the start of the season. Loyalty my backside.

According to todays Rugby-League press all the players who turned out yesterday did so without being paid a penny--

For that they deserve to be applauded by the fans who remain loyal to the club.

Well done to all those who played but what is the situation going to Tolouse do they have to find their own fares and hotel costs?

Agreed Bruce.

No stick from me mate.

I do think that some situations are different to others though.

Examples ...

Alex Benson ... no Club to go to, might as well stay with us and accept match payments but chooses to quit. That one I can't get my head round.

Craig Lawton ... whatever we think now, has been a decent servant to the Club over the years.

Not 100% sure but believe the RFL pays towards the Flight/Hotel costs--
but i would have thought it won't be easy for any of the squad who are now left to have time of work.
And would have expected the players who have recently left us to have
been named on tickets bought for the flight's which will now have to be changed at very short notice if thats possible..

Agreed from me also

Ill certainly chip in to get the lads a pint after the game next week! Top Blokes!! This is why i cant believe some fans have stopped coming to the games.These lads are flogging their guts for nothing and some folk cant be bothered to come and support them!!

Well done to all at the club concerned!

Well Leafy owes me a pint after Blackpool, But i dont mind refreshing his vocal chords in France.

SSHHHHHHHH!!! He was supposed to be supping that pint secretly if you remember.we had to hide it from prying eyes!!

Leafy can have a pint off me anytime.Dons legend.Just hope hes here next year as well.

Thats why I am prepared to chuck at least a fiver in if there is a collection at the Gateshead game

Well i might try and see if we can have a bucket for donations for the lads to have a cold beer from the fans of Doncaster and hopefully some of them will return next season.




I will try and get to the fans traveling over to France to donate something for the guys.

Posted with Hindsight Karlos was it ?. How the hell are we supposed to know that they are playing for nothing. The club is in a shambles. I have taken the decision to stay away because it breaks my heart to see what has happened and it rankles me beyond belief to see visiting fans 'gloating; at our predicament. This situation is as bad as it's been for years and years and you cannot pretend otherwise. I take with me to games a bloke who has followed this club as long as it has been in existence and I take exception to your comment. No one and I mean no one loves the club more than my Father In Law. But the sight and sound of visiting fans taking the mick was too much to bear. We fully appreciate the efforts of the players who play for feck all and with little to gain and get to be on the receiving end of every game. Not a question of can't be bothered, tar that to to the majority of folk who have never been bothered, and to the folk running the club who have taken the urine.

The RFL pay all travel/hotel expenses

Sorry you have taken it so personally.At the end of the day we all know the situation the club is in and none of us like it.Believe me people behind the scenes are trying there best to get something together to try and save the club we love.
Ive heard that the players played for nothing yesterday.My post is simply because those lads deserve all the support they can get, not the hardcore support of which yourself and your father in law are included turning there backs on them.
My current personal situation means i shouldnt be going to france next week, but i am going on my own to cheer them on and hopefully buy a couple of them a pint after the game. Thats how i want to try and back them.Not by not attending.But we all have different opinions.

Like i said earlier im sorry if you have taken offence but im only been honest.

I applaud all of you who have stuck by them, but I have neither the funds nor the inclination to support a club that has been shipping water for months.

I don't know where my hard-earned is going to and that is what concerns me most. If Craig and Pete are jumping ship then there has to be something seriously wrong.

The Keepmoat is certainly not the answer to our present plight. in my opinion it's part of the problem.

In all my years supporting the Dons the club have never been run professionally, to be fair we make Newcastle United look like an example of good management.

Its unfair to blame the Keepmoat, we need to look at what people have been doing inside it, as well as inside Belle Vue, Stainforth & Tattersfield.

Rovers have been lucky and attracted a man not only with money, but also business sense!!!!

Just look at the idea of having a presentation night after the last game, its likely they ll be more ex-players from this year than supporters!!!!

I'm not blaming the Keepmoat per se, if you read my post, I am merely intimating that the stadium can seem cavernous when presented with paltry attendances. There just aren't enough Dons supporters to make a crowd there and will there ever be?

Yes, you can bet none of them will be there either.

Absolutely spot on with that comment. I am surprisd the club have survived this long.

Dont know where u got this info from but why would i have been tryin to leave all yr when i havent even played most of the season. Maybe you should get your facts right before you start writing about me. I didnt have much of a choice about leaving as rugby is my only income!

craig lawton

craig you have been a loyal and honest person and player to this club,what would anyone else do in your situation,good luck for the future.
