| Fair play to you all ...but expect more pain.
You might as well support a local amateur side .....we are not bottom three.... we are bottom in every sense of the word.
We are dreadful.
But I hope to be proved wrong.....if we win I volunteer to be put in stocks and rotten tomatoes thrown at me...

| Not one to be outrageous, but how many times do we start with a team that shows some talent and enthusiasm for passing the ball including the forwards only for someone to come along and coach it out of them!

| After Saturdays game i was pig sick but after thinking about it we knew this season was going to be tough, though having said that Saturday was unacceptable.
Only a few months ago we were so happy just to have a team to follow and accepted the fact that we would probably end up at the bottom end of the league. Now is the hour that we must stick with the club and hopefully over the next two or three seasons we will be able to build into a succesful sustainable club. If people walk away now then the game is up and RL in Donny will be finished for good. We will be attending all the home games and as many away games as possible. I don't want to be looking back in years to come thinking if only we had done more !
Now is the time the club needs its loyal fans to stand by it.
This is the Last Chance for RL in Donny.
Once it's gone it's gone. FOR EVER....

Totally agree.
The only problem being that it would seem that the loyal fans only now number about 200 and whilst we need their loyalty, we also need to attract others and therein lies the problem.

| I'll be going to the game on Sunday, but i'm fairly sure i w
ill not be enjoying any of the Keepmoat experience yet again.
It doesnt seem like 5 minutes ago we had a team which I enjoyed watching win OR lose. I pretty much enjoyed all the games down at Belle Vue, the fans and the players always seemed to have a conection..that got lost, we had a chairman who although split opinion spent a hell of alot of money for a team at Doncasters level and didnt ask anything from me personally other than come down and support the players.
Nothing seems to have gone right for us down at the Keepmoat, even most Rovers fans dont like it.
I'm not sure what my point is other than, i don't enjoy it anymore... even Rovers fans at their lowest ebb in the non league say they ENJOYED much of their time there. I'm not enjoying this at all and that is something i thought i would never write on this forum.

| Maybe a move to a smaller more compact ground would help matters. I believe that Armthorpe Welfare are looking into a new ground near the M18. If we went in with them maybe this would be beneficial to both clubs in regards to getting funding for a more suitable stadium.
Worth looking into i think.

Personally, I would hope that anything which might keep the Club running would be considered. Toll Bar with a little more money spent on the ground (sports grant?) would also be worth considering if the decision is taken to move.

| We've all had an opportunity to vent the spleen since last Saturdays game (we are all entitled to our opinion as paying customers). However, Sunday is a chance for the players to prove that the form of the past couple of games is wrong.
A number of people have said they may not come on Sunday (happily, one or two seem to be reconsidering). I hope that my original thoughts of 200+ are way off the mark but whatever the turnout a good performance on the pitch (even in defeat) may start to unite the Club oncemore.
The Supporters remaining this season (as I have said elsewhere) were not expecting miracles this season and if we are being honest most of us have stuck with the Club through 'thick and thin' so surely knowone thinks that we are expecting win after win after win. No just some pride in the shirt. Sunday offers a chance to begin again.

| Excellent post Rupert Bear, me and kid will be there, do I expect a win, probably not, do I expect to be entertained, probably not, do I expect to see effort and committment, YES, at this stage of the clubs existence only that should be expected, the first 2 are bonuses.
As you state fans should be glad we have a club that we can go watch and if the hard core fans give up or stop supporting then there may well be no club at all.

We?
I think that you need to be around a bit longer than one game before you consider yourself to be that......
....but full marks for joining our happy throng.
Top tip though.....don't come on here slagging us off.
We've suffered and endured...you haven't.....yet.
