We play Oxford the weekend after the 11th, so I'm guessing we will wear it then. Won't clash with their yellow home kit.

Do you mean the poppy t shirt on elite sports? 

If not - do you have a link?

It’s listed as leisure wear, not a kit. Maybe worn in warm up but not as a match shirt.

That is a thing of beauty. And more money to a fantastic cause. Well done DRFC

I know I'll probably get pelters for this but I think its a bit tacky.

Teams seem to be competitive about who's doing remembrance better.

Also uneasy about the portion of profits piece, why not all profits? Looks like someone will be making some money off this.

Also strangely, the Gloucester, Leeds and Lincoln ones are all different prices.

Before anyone talks about me having no respect I've been in the British Army for the last fifteen years, working on Ops many times.

Just my opinion mind, so don't get too hot up

I'd agree with this. Appreciate it's probably a quick moneymaker in a tough time for the club, but it's all a bit tacky for me. It's a few steps away from this.

I think it is very commercial, however it combines two things very dear to my heart - the Forces and Doncaster Rovers.  I would happily pay double for it as (hopefully) much of the proceeds will go to either DRFC or the toward the poppy appeal.  unfortunately they only have 4XL size now and that would drown me.....

Also German Rover..15 years??.......you need to get some time in mate - I was in longer NAAFI queues than that :whistle: ............ only joking mate...

See my earlier post. There’s some in the frenchgate shop if you can get someone there.

Respect the position but better to do something rather than dig out last years poppy as I’m sure some do

To be honest I wouldn’t mind the club and RBL sharing profits it’s how much go to the manufacturers
