I was among them, at the front so I know.

Got a feeling nothing will change, it's just missing a bonding chance if they don't.

Anyway .... enough!

Quite a while ago I asked an In The Dugout question to suggest the subs benches were on our side of the field as I feel it would help build a better atmosphere. Carl said he'd look into it but I suspect the players and staff might prefer them to be on the far side of the pitch as nothing changed.

There needs to be a better link between the players and the fans; little things like this (and S/O's suggestion) help.

We need to be innovative. What about a pitch side interview with Gary Thornton (or member of the coaching staff) before the game starts?

Good shout!

For the umpteenth time ... not all fans can stop behind and meet/greet the players in the restaurant/bar.
I am one of those ... I have a bus to catch.
Yes I'd love to stop, but there lies divorce.
I have another life with a non-rugby wife.
I am out at noon and back home match days at 6 to 7. Anyway .. a long stretch.

The only time I get to see the players is on the pitch. I wouldn't have a clue what they look like up close, some of them.

That reminds me ... updating the squad pictures on the web site?
I give up!

The changes with the players photo's/profile are being sorted, the question about someone doing a 5 min chat before the game is a good shout. I will ask.

Thanks Baz

Hi any questions for in the dugout?? Was it easier to get your half time drinks yesterday???

Hi Baz,

I think you've already got the question noted about having a pre-match pitchside interview with Gary Thornton or someone from the coaching staff before each game.

Is Callum Lancaster likely to be with us on a regular basis?

What's happened to Mason Tonks (Weighman would love to know too!

)

Thanks!

I would , thank you .

Mason Tonks could feature on Sunday v Hull , mystery solved .
I too would not mind knowing about Callum Lancaster .

Comments reference Brad England have been attributed to people at the Club in the press which suggest he has signed for this season but I'm not aware of anything via the official site.

Could you ask what the actual position is please?

Will do Gary.

Cheers Baz.

Baz, the question I asked about a pitch side interview before the game with Gary Thornton wasn't covered by Carl on his 3rd Feb In The Dugout.

To make it a specific question, could you ask this: "To help improve the matchday experience for the fans, and to help bring the players and coaches closer to the fans, could we have a pitch side interview with Gary Thornton, or a member of the coaching staff, before each home game, probably 15 minutes before kick-off?".

Thanks!

I am concerned about the 2nd part of the questions attributed to me on In the Dug out 3/2/17. www.doncasterrugbyleague.co.uk/article/ ... -with-carl I did ask about Cameron Scott ,but not the attitude of Hull players on dual reg. I am not a Dual Reg fan , I have commented on here saying basically not all Hull players last season had the attitude of Feka & R Dean , I never have said any thing about Kirk Yeaman . Have E Mailed Baz who states I didn't ask him the question in an EMail & he says he didn't E Mail Carl with the 2nd question . I think I will have to re consider whether I ask any more questions. Paul Margrave

You are 100% correct S-O , Baz has informed me that the media team go through face book , forums etc & speak to Carl if fans have issues .
Not sure if fans names should be quoted in these circumstances , only when direct questions have been put to Baz who then forwards them to Carl. Just my opinion though .
COYD

I agree that names should only be attributed to people who have asked questions directly although personally I have no objections to anyone quoting me about anything I write on here.

There seemed to be an edit in this week's In The Dugout. I suspect that the name of the person asking the question about the attitude of DR players was inadvertently chopped out, which made it look as though Weighman (Paul) had asked that question as his name was attached to the question before.

I'm sure it's a simple mix up. We all need to keep asking questions when we feel it's appropriate. It's a vital part of creating a good link between the club and the fans.

With respect Double Movement , he used my name , the interviewer says another question from Paul. That is not true , picked up from my messages on the forum yes .

Doubt if it's a mix up DM with respect to yourself. The way that they formed the alleged criticism by Weighman is not good. IMO it defeats the relationship between the Club and the fans, and also IMO could lead to poor old Baz having egg on his face by no actions of his own
There has to be trust that the In the Dugout section is not being edited to suit an agenda.

I have no problem with Baz , who is trying to put my point over to Carl.

I hope this matter is sorted out , the person asking a question should state the correct source ! eg from posts from the fans forum .

Some good info does come out of in the dug out eg about mason Tonks & the previous week about changes in dual reg rules.

Any way that it is from me on the matter , honest, back to the Rugby .
COYD

I've listened to the In The Dugout again...

You're clearly right, Paul's name was directly attributed to the question. I hadn't realised that first time around. Paul deserves a full apology. It was completely out of order.

I hope Carl puts the record straight in next week's edition.

I have another question for you to put to Carl please, Baz.

"After the friendly with Leeds Rhinos, the Leeds website was showing highlights of the game. Showing highlights of the games is the perfect way to get new and ex-supporters interested in the club again, and adds to our pleasure if we can see the best bits again. Could we not do the same as Leeds and show highlights of matches?"

"Could this also include away matches too?"

Thanks, Baz.

Hi Mike, i will ask again. Dont know why it was not asked. I will also ask the 2nd question that you have requested.

Baz

Just to clear a point up. I do not ask questions from this site if fans are just making an observation or a comment. I only send specifically asked questions to " in the dug out "

You may take note that if a question is asked from this forum, then i use your forum name and not your correct name.

Please keep posting questions and i will try to make sure that they are answered.

Would I be correct in thinking that my question was asked too late for last week's ITD?
