Meet the owners meeting

[DonnyOsmond]

I read the pass forward thing from Liam Hodens Twitter.

[johnny rovers]

An extremely enjoyable evening. All the key board members were at the top table and there enthusiasm was clear to see. It was also great to see so many of the clubs employees and key players of the club Doncaster brand being there! It was great to here about the amazing work the foundation are doing, the hard work the commercial team are doing to create further revenue. It was encouraging to here about the academy and again the hard work that is happening there!

Everyone is working hard to improve both on and off the field and it just makes me so proud to see that we've had and still have  local directors who have been backing our club for nearly two decades now, with so much success to go with it.

Who wants foreign owners....certainly not me!!

Someone actually asked why we pass backwards and sideways? Wtf is our support?

Probably one of the gerrit forad brigade that turns into moaner once the ball is punted long. They have n't got a clue about the game

I will have a guess and state that at least 90% of the rovers home crowd do not understand fully
what's going on or what's not going out on the pitch for the full 90 mins + fergie time ,me included.

Can any of you recall that footage of the Liverpool manager during the lpoo, v Newcastle facup final
game at wembley in early 1970s ,where you see shankley sat there moving his hands  frantically to and throu in a very strange pattern/ manner > > >

> > > I bet there are untold on here that don't have a scooby on what message shankley was putting
across to his team out on the pitch that day.

It took me 30 odd years to suddenly understand what shankley was doing that day when I was up in
the rafters watching chelsea play at Barcelona ,and it hit me there and then.

I used to look at that footage and wonder WTF lanuage is shankley conversing in

Was he making the "w**ker" gesture at Super Mac?

They're clearly playing it back and sideways looking for space. There's no point hitting it forward where it's rammed and it doesn't lead anywhere. You're trying to pull players out of position.

You seem like a knowledgeable egg on the football front

What's your ideas about the strange shankley hand movements that I posted about above?

Infact I will make this question a open house/ forum question ?

I'm 26 so haven't seen it.

It was allways on the opening footage of match of the day years ago and I have no idea how to recover said footage .

When I say it took me 30 odd years to understand what shankley was trying to get across to his
team that day,I could be wrong but I go all in with my poker chips that Iam not.

Like I said it only hit me some 30 years later when I was up in the rafters at the nou camp watching
a game,if I never gone to the nou camp and watched that game in the rafters I still be as clueless
today as to what shankleys hand movements was all about.

Fagan,get me a cup of tea two sugars.

On a serious note, on the training pitch he had each half of the pitch marked with three equal areas right across the pitch.
   The team then had to pass the ball into the next area and move up and down the pitch together,keeping their shape.

One of the most embarrassing things I've heard in a long time. Some of our fans need castrating.

It was probably the bloke sat four seats to my right on Saturday.
He whinged every time we didn't pass forward or try to shoot straight through a player when we attacked.

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

Training academy bit most important for me. That should be our strategy in my opinion and it's good to hear it's a high priority.

[Filo]

Sounds like we've got a big commercial sponsor lined up as well

[Drover]

Is it Verging on Ridiculously big?

[RedJ]

Think you're on the right train of thought.

Deffo on the right tracks

[Bentley Bullet]

Hope we're not getting ideas above our station.

Likely to be the operator of  Britains Jewell in the crown railway which 80 percent of services stop in Doncaster. Also there new Japanese rolling stock which will be fully in service by 2020 will be maintained at the new hitachi depot at ten pound walk. Formally the old Carr loco depot

[RedJ]

Sounds like the five year plan will be full steam ahead if true.

[Dutch Uncle]

Should give us a good platform to build on....

[Bentley Bullet]

It will certainly give out the right signals.

[drfchound]

We should be on guard though in case things derail.

Is that a hidden clue as to who the supposed next big sponsor will be ?

if so would I be in the loop if I was to add some branston pickle to my cheese doorstep sarnie

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

Let's just hope it happens on time...

[the vicar]

would you like me to ask it for you mate

You could do Dave please.
I'm sure that plans are in place and hopefully if promoted revenue will increase. The problem is, so will out goings.

hi Idler mate i asked the question and they said that they was not going to talk figures, but they were willing to make a loss to get promotion. they went on to say that they will have a sizable budget next season if we go up and it will be up there near the top

Well it will if ticket prices go up!

Are we going to open up the old Mainline again?

[IDM]

I don't care who sponsors us as long as we pick up plenty of points..

Cheers Dave, that's good enough for me. We can only take them at their word but they do seem to be honest. Good times ahead maybe. 😊

That company have also sponsored Darlington's kit - must be a rail issue and offered discount fares too. 4 adult and 1 child ticket to Kings X in August they want £371. (Return I may add)

[godlike1]

Am I missing something? Why are we so "chuffed" about being sponsored by a company that seems to be "on the right tracks"

[idler]

I think we are chuffed because of the money that the said company has.
Hopefully a big wedge will be coming our way.
