Just a few lines to say many thanks to all our supporters who gave so generously to the Billy Sharp ‘Sharpshooter fund’. It was a pity we could nt generate a lot of ‘on the pitch’ presence for the presentation of our cheque on Saturday just before kick-off, but John Ryan had been asked to do several last minute interviews by SKY and by the BBC, and he was also playing ‘mine host’ to a lot of visitors... As a result we lost the chance to announce the presentation via the PA system – and we had to dash across to the East Stand to wait for a chance when John & Stuart Highfield were free – but they both wanted to take part in the presentation as they really appreciate our efforts and are very grateful for all that has been done by the Rovers Supporters club and the VSC. Thanks to Paul Mayfield & Rob Clark who presented the cheque – no doubt you will see their pretty faces in the programme and on the VSC website very soon. They are available to do weddings & childrens parties too..... In the end we raised just short of £3000 – a very credible effort – its a pity Paypal take a lump in commission charges, but we rounded up the cheque to £3000. We had a lot of folk contributing to the cause, and we will do a lucky draw for all who contributed – we will get a signed shirt by Billy for the lucky winner. Steve Uttley is organising the shirt and we will let you know who wins later... Thanks again, Cheers Gareth |

Ken Fear and Gareth Thomas were re-elected in their positions of secretary and chairman and Nathan Batchelor and Rob Clark were also elected to become members of the VSC board of directors.
John Ryan addressed the crowd and spent no time in putting a few things straight. He admitted to reading this forum and comparing it to the "Chester City forum" with some of the comments being made. Here's the main points that he made, and what he had to say: |

There has been some debate recently about why we should join the VSC, the Viking Supporters Cooperative. A lot of supporters who now come to see the mighty Rovers don’t know of its existence, and don’t know why it exists. Maybe we ought to revisit the dark days of Richardson and explain….. At the time a lot of things were going wrong in the boardroom of Doncaster Rovers. We had a chairman who wanted to do nothing but asset strip the club for his own benefit, and that included the money to be gained from an “accidental” fire at the Old Belle Vue ground, which he arranged. He was consequently arrested and convicted for arson and was replaced by the current Chairman John Ryan. JR wanted to ensure that there was never another opportunity for the club’s fans to be so poorly treated again without them knowing what was going on. With Andy Liney, the VSC was formed, it enabled fans to purchase shares in the club and be represented on the board of Doncaster Rovers so they would always have a spokesman to represent their views to the board, and the board would have an outlet for information to the fans. |
