| Thanks for the support guys, i have large shoulders and can take the flack from the odd know all , i refuse to lower the tone by engaging in a slanging match, if any one wants to discuss my posts i will be more than happy to speak to them in person , especially you Sanjunien. People come on here saying they dont get any information from the club,all i try to do is give a fair and honest opinion on what is happening regarding the lads. It is not my intention to rattle anyones cage ,but obviously on this occation i have upset a former rugby league god who has taken exception to my views which is fine ,and i dont have a problem with that. Ask any of the players here why they signed for the club and i bet not one of them will say they signed for the money. ps The rent at the Keepmoat is very reasonable as we have a deal with the council

| I can't see what the fuss is.
Chunkster and sanjujien are both right in their own way.
sanjunien is right that in most cases players will just go to where the better deal is.
But Chunkster is also right, that if a player is faced with two very similar deals, he will be swayed by the facilities and the set-up.
Right that's that sorted!
Next?

Peter, by all means make your point but perhaps that bit went a little too far don't you think?

Neil, I think it's fair to say, as you will see from the various responses on this an other threads, that your input is valued. Please do continue with any pertinent updates. Cheers.

| Quote ="Moonlight"Why do you have to insult people by saying that their post is idiotic. You asked a question regarding the Keepmoat Stadium and the guy (who is a very important part of the club) took his time to try and explain, so why the insulting response?
On the matter of the staying at the Keepmoat, IMO The Dons should remain at the Keepmoat and I'm pretty confident that the blokes who run the Dons would want that as well. It's looking more and more likely that there will be new owners of the Stadium and of course things may change for the Dons Management as to the rental agreement etc, but I really hope we have a future there.'"
that's quite simple mate - I have no idea who chunkster actually is in real life - it could be Carl for all I know ? the fact is I found his/her posts idiotic that's why I used the word 'idiot' - it's not a difficult concept to comprehend.
I have absolutely no idea about the KM stadium agreement with the council though certain posters have previously inferred it's been a bit of a millstone for the club.So what's the craic with the stadium ?
I still belive it's ridiculous to state that a player will chose a nice new stadium with big toilets and luxurious changing rooms in a lower league instead of a higher standard of competition unless,as I said there are other circumstances involved ie travel,work or family commitments or that player cannot be guaranteed regular first team appearances (would he have been a automatic choice for Fev ?) or indeed that the player concerned maybe lacks ambition and is quite happy to chug along at a lower level...
no insult intended and apologies for any offence taken - I just found the comments quite ridiculous,end of.
by the way - if anyone is interested I have already asked to sponsor two Donny players next year as well as continuing the lottery etc etc I know it's not much but there's no way can I get to the games.

| Ofcourse i will Gaz ,im not one for throwing the teddy out because someone doesnt agree with me, everybody is entitled to their opinion. I dont agree with a lot of things posted by people on here slagging the club, we are all on the forums because we love the game, i along with most of the coaching and backroom staff work for nothing ,our reward is being involved with a club we all love and want to see succeed. Carl is doing his job very well and keeping us out of debt which is a lot more than can be said for other clubs. So for someone to say that everyone in the game is in it for the money p#sses me off. Give me 13 lads who want to play for the club or 13 that want to play for the money and i would take the former every time .COYD

| Well if there's one good thing to come out of this, it's that it's confirmed the identity of Chunkster. I'm surprised you haven't hit the ROOF. But I think it's time for a clean SLATE now.

| No i dont and your sponsorship of players is a great gesture.The point i was trying to get across was that yes players want to play at the highest level but if you have two clubs offering similar deals then playing at the km has to go in our favour. Ha Ha Oringinal Dragon very droll i like it . lol

| Any-old-how..........
The Dons should be focusing on ways to sell season tickets.
Some blurb about signing an EXCITING replacement for Spav (true or false ) would help!
Keep the pot boiling please.... use the press ... etc

Well done on the sponsoring of players again, but Just to let you know the lottery was disbanded about 3 months ago.

| I can confirm the Lottery finished at the end of August cos it wasnt profitable. I understood all members were contacted & were given a few weeks notice.
If they have telephoner or internet back over there you can cancel your Standing Order.
PS lay off Chunkster

| It is a free forum and personal views should be encouraged.
There are boundaries though as to what should and shouldn't be said with regards to insulting behaviour.
If I disagree with you I will say so, but not in a condescending or aggressive manner, just like I hope that when you disagree with me you will be respectful too.
After all we are all on the same side - it's much better to be constructive and work together, than to offend and upset each other.
Let's move forwards and hope for some positive news on the signings front especially if Tony has got some irons in the fire.
Onwards and upwards ...

with respect DM - it's not 'aggressive or 'condescending' to call another forum users views 'idiotic' - now if you want me to say what I really think about the comments made by chunkster I will but I will no doubt be banned from this forum !
Again,apologies to him/her for any offence caused and lets' get on with the important things in life please !
onwards and upwards indeed - an encouraging season with loads of praise for Tony,Carl,John & staff for their dedication to the cause.
Sponsorship for next season seems to be going well so please carry on the good work - COYD

| This is what you get when there is nowt happening.
Folk fall out.
If only everyone was perfect like me.
Personally I don't abuse others on the forum. I pretend that I am talking to that person face to face and so I watch what I say and respect them.
We need as many posters as possible and we don't want them leaving in a fit of pique, just because of a difference of opinion.
However, life would be boring without some controversy.
I personally like a fire fight from time to time, otherwise it's just too damn cosy.
