Crowds up in SL & Championship at the weekend, can we do the same v Keighley Sunday 23/2/14. Would be nice to get a 4 figure crowd. Both teams started with a win & should be a good game !

How the goodness did they manage to wangle Paul (Tiger) Handforth?
We could do with him (again).
It's gonna make a win a whole lot harder......

Could we get a 1000 on Sunday .
There is an on going discussion about what the club can do to increase crowds but what can the fans do.
Encourage new fans to give us try, may be give them a lift.
Try & persuade old fans to return.

I don't think they will get anywhere near Dons v Keighley January 2nd 1990 attendance 1968
Result Dons 28-Keighley14

Other notable home attendances for that season
Dewsbury 2305
Huddersfield 2341
Runcorn 2149
Whitehaven 2239
York 2953
Workington 2248
Oldham 3843
Trafford B 1933
Hunslet 1208
Fulham 2211
Bramley 1806
Swinton1937

I agree they will not but 1000 is a start .

Give someone a l.ift is a good idea. I'm sure the terrible bus service stops some from attending. I had first hand
instance of that last season, when I met an away fan who had walked from the station and knew that if he had watched the game he would have had to get a taxi from his home station.(he turned round and walked back to town.)

Does anyone know the crowd for the Keighley game last season please.

686 ref jamie leahy

we was on a bad run at the time as well.

Thank you , Jamie who .

Jamie Leahy was the Referee

I appreciate that , it was an off the cuff funny remark (or meant to be).

Crowd today down only 647 on last season .

Yes disappointing

only 559 at Batley

One of the reasons given for the takeover was that marketing of the Dons would improve. The full marketing team of the Rovers would be working to promote the Dons. For me this is a promise that has been broken.

I allowed time for bedding in, but after our first home game I am incredibly disappointed by the lack of effort shown.

The crowds will not come in from just performances on the pitch. That is clear from last year.

It's time to step up Marketing team.

EXACTLY!

The crowd was the biggest disappointment for me yesterday.

Correct, perhaps you could pose that question on the sticky thread and see if Shaun Lockwood answers it.

i missed the game as i was doing 12 hour night shifts but for me one of the biggest reasons for poor crowds is lack of good public transport around the keepmoat. I live on the keepmoat side of town but it was easier for me to get to tattersfield than where we are now. Could the club try putting on a double decker or two for a couple of home games from the Bentley/York road/Toll bar area to tempt people back??

Probably spending all their time arranging third rate pop starts playing for rovers reserves. Maybe we should look at getting Bono to play prop forward against Batley.

Has everyone seen the footage of the One Direction lad coming on last night. Ive not heard screaming like that coming from the Doncaster terraces since someone said Paul McNicholas was coming on as a sub!

maybe we could sign up peter andre to boost crowds.
probably wouldn't do much for the team though.
Use him as a water carrier.
