According to the other site Josh Weedon has signed for Hunslet, it was transfer deadline for Championship 1 sides yesterday.

Thanks Josh for your efforts this season.

Good luck Josh,

But would have been the one player we needed to keep.

Reading on other sites that he is going home .

As all the remaining 'contracts' were cancelled on Wednesday evening, this has come as no major surprise. We may be missing one or two others tomorrow.

Josh has been a star this season. Had heard that he planned to retire at the end of this season so not sure why he has moved on with so few games left but that is now his prerogative.

Why werent all the contracts cancelled at the time when the last round of cuts were made ?

Why arent the club letting us know what is going on !

IIRC there were reductions (25%) in the contract terms which made all the contracted players free agents. Now all contracts have been terminated.

Thanks for the info Gary.

craig lawton gone to oldham.alex benson also gone

They appear incapable of running a bath let alone a so called club. Who is actually pulling the strings at the moment, who is running the shop. I have seen people flitting in and out of the 'Executive Box' area, whispers in corners and folk standing in the 'Directors' area like members of the Polit Bureau. But who the hell is in charge and what are they doing?. Gentlemen, this is breaking point and not a time for a cosy up by the same old tired faces. Total and utter disarray with these players going and feck all hope for the future.

The administrator is running the club. The RFL will have something to say about outgoings -money.


I think we are lucky to have a club after all the mis management over the years.

We have got to be more organised next season IF there is a next season !

Amended the Thread to cover Craig who has gone to Oldham .


Thanks Craig for all you have done for the Dons over the years.

Another excellent servant who deserves our thanks and best wishes.

Certainly feels like the end of an era with the likes of Pete Green and now Craig Lawton gone.

But we will have to cut our cloth accordingly for next season. Match terms only and trade and play at the level that we are realistically at with attendances as they will likely be.

Yes, I don't get this one. He hasn't signed for anyone else but apparently won't turn out for us!

sorry to say this,but thats me done.ive supportted this club since the late 60s,but the hearts just not in it anymore.iwould like to say a big thankyou to all the players who,ve done there hardest to keep the playing side going.i genually feel sorry for what the club have put them through.there does,nt seem to be any leadership or structure to the club anymore.it is a sad day for me because i had a lot of friends who played for the club,in particular PARKY,he,ll be turning in his grave bless him.i will carry on watching the game but as a nomad travelling to who ever takes my fancy,barring seagulls of cause.all the best to all you diehards and hope there will be a happy ending,you never know .hope you dont mind if i post now and then just to keep my hand in.COYD.

I understand that people are disgruntled with recent events but if we want semi-professional RL to continue in Doncaster we are probably all going to have to pull together and get behind the Club in whatever guise it continues.

I know how you feel Askern Lad but if there is to be a semi pro club in Donny ,we need to stick together.


Come on You Dons

I think a lot of people are now getting fed up with not knowing what is happening.This does not auger well for the future support of the club we are becoming like MUSHROOMS kept in the dark and being fed manure.
I am another that has become very dispirited and have decided to give tomorrow a miss.Hope things look up for the future

I also can understand some peoples feelings, but there does seem to maybe be some light at the end of the tunnel, the administrators are the ones who are pulling all the strings.

Hopefully there will be some good news for the fans before the last game of the season against Gateshead.

My self and Glyn (Father in Law ) have discussed the situation. We have decided to give it a miss until the club is in safe hands, being run properly and with a professional air about it.In other words install some much needed confidence to the Doncaster Sporting Public. The situation is heartbreaking but I really see no light at the end of the tunnel. Good wishes to all concerned.

He was outstanding at Leigh, a couple of weeks ago.

I sense a little despair, I would think most Dons have got used to it a little by now, over my 20 or so years I have felt it on many occassions.

Its ok for fans to take out their frustration with the management and those currently running of the club.

But we should nt forget that they ll still be 17 men out there tomorrow, and remember it won t be much fun for them either if they are on the back end of an hiding and no one can be bothered to show for them.

So come on you Dons, lets get this season over with and hopefully dust ourselves off again and get stuck in next year.

Well so much for talk of winning at least one game.....and so much for talk of keeping what players we have together and having some sort of a decent team for next year.
I thought we caved in a little easily during the Barrow game.....what we know now...they knew then......so now't to play for really after an attempt by some players early doors to make their last game a winning one.
I did think that Weeden was very quiet in the Barrow game after his heroics at Leigh.
And so all is revealed in typical Donny style..........we find out before they tell us.....champion.
What will be the crowd tomorrow?
There will be season ticket holders now who won't bother......income will be next to nil.....the only income will be from Fev fans who will be able to come down here and watch a totally one-sided game.
I will be there......but the day is more about having a drink or two now than any chance of watching some decent competitive rugby.........I certainly would not go and pay.
Congrats to all concerned for fooking our club up..

I look forward to better times to come.

Its breaking my heart, but i have decided not to attend tomorow as a Donny lad living in Huddersfield I have been paying to watch two teams a week where fixtures have permitted, its beeen agony and extasy watching The DONS and The GIANTS, we are going to Wemberly so money is tight,
I have made this decision after hearing of latest departures, tomorow will be third game i have missed and wont be at tolouse to Loose, will be at last home game to say possibly good bye. But thats only if the club go under.

Unless I am extremely wide of the mark, there looks likely to be only one serious bid to take the Club forward and that is by no means certain to succeed. The RFL will have to be convinced before a licence is awarded for next season.

As painful as what is happening at the moment is, if we want to have RL in Doncaster next season we are going to have to get behind any seroius bidder.

As for tomorrow, we may well get another beating but to be honest the players that remain deserve our support. Lets face it most of them are playing at least a division above where we would logically have wanted to introduce them.

But ... they are still going out and giving it a go. If they're not good enough so be it but we have no alternative currently and they deserve our support for being prepared to turn out in very difficult circumstances.

Come On You Dons!

Good luck to Craig and Josh.Both players have my respect for hanging in so long and giving there all.
Will be there tomorrow giving the lads my support as I have for the last 48 years through thick and thin but at least we are seeing a side of lads playing their hearts out and a big thanks for TM in staying the course.
