Club Doncaster

[newyankee]

 It looks like the Dons  are following in the Rovers footsteps, three losses on the trot now.  They said they were going to improve on last years debacle but it looks like same old, same old, but par for the course of Club Doncaster.

Yeah there definitely aren't several other threads on similar topics...

So the post is wrong then is it Redj?

On this forum repeated jibes such as this is what is tearing it apart.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Bally. I agree. And the tsunami of threads complaining about the Board are the gel, trying to hold the place together.

To be fair two of the recent loses have been in Cups. They're doing alright in the league (considering there have only been 3 games) 2 wins and 1 loss.

COME ON YOU HOOOOOPS!!!

Yeah, especially when you consider all those practice matches half of the squad lose against the other half.

COME ON YOU HOOOOOPS!!!

 The squad is supposed to be better than last season. They have won two games out of five, those two games contained three or four Huill players on dual registration. The team itself is doing no better.

[Sammy Chung was King]

They have just been relegated so that takes time to get over, they have a new set of players which also takes time for any team to gel. I know next to nothing about rugby but team sports are very similar in that way.
 Before the recent years they were constant strugglers, from what i notice crowds are decent but need to be much better for them to be able to strengthen the club.
 It seems the knights have attracted more followers than the dons, probably due to them doing well, but also they have always seemed to be a very organised well run club.

For the teams all to be linked together, with my limited knowledge of club doncaster then really, we need to be in the championship, the dons in at least their championship and the belles to be where they are in the top league.
 I don't believe that the clubs being linked effects things all that much, the criticism is probably because most like me don't know much about it.
 I can only see it as a plus for three small sporting teams to pool knowledge and help each other out to become stronger collectively. What we need is first of all to keep all the sides in business and hopefully all three get stronger working together.
 We have done the running things seperately since all the clubs were founded and all three have struggled, we were near to going to the wall, the dons went out of business and the belles have struggled for years, it's important whether you like rugby, womens football or mens football that all three start doing well.

I know i have said it before, but i think the athletics stadium would be ideal to build stands round it and use for the dons and belles, because it would be a smaller more intimidating stadium, because the amount of fans would make more of a difference in a smaller ground.
It looks terrible when we have five and a half thousand in our ground, so a thousand must be even worse, but both have as much right as we do to play on the pitch, i just think in the long run, it would be great to have two stadiums on one site, and it would allow them to make it more of a home.

I was looking at the similarities of the Dons and Rovers Sammy.  The Rovers it was said had a top budget to get back out of  League One, maybe we did but it was spent wrongly and the same with the Dons, they have a really good budget for League One in the RL.  The squad they have now is not as good as they think ( Carl Hall said they had a very big budget, for that League). Only the tie up with Hull FC and their surplus Super League players being in the side is when they have won. 

[hoolahoop]

Seems we are not content at just having a go at our own footy club that we have to dismantle the idea of "club Doncaster" as well . Seems to me that as a concept it is a good thing .

Perhaps we've run out of steam in dismantling the Rovers so are starting at the Dons too.
A typical inward looking negative response from us . what next that "loser" of a tomcat that lives in the Black Bank that appears to be firing blanks too.......soon we will have rats everywhere, providing they havent already shipped out too.

 All I am trying to say Steve is that the Dons are following in the same direction as we ( the Rovers)  have gone.  As an ex employee of the Dons I expected that the squad they have put together would be almost unbeatable in League One.  It shows that maybe we all have too high expectations for both clubs.  I am in favour of Club Doncaster but things have to be done properly.

   As I have said before the only games they have won are with the addition of Hull FC Super League players.  They have not improved the squad in the way they thought they had.   Again maybe we have the wrong people running the Dons although Carl Hall has a fount of RL knowledge,  we have no one with Football knowledge on the Board of the Rovers.   It is OK the owners putting in money, but you need to spend the money wisely  and get the best you can for it.

 The owners of both clubs, who are the same people,  are leaving far too much to the wrong managers, due to their lack of knowledge.

I agree that things don't seem to be organised quite right at the minute, we definitely need somebody above the manager who knows both the football and financial worlds, somebody who could organise a proper scouting network and leave the manager to be able to do his job.
It wouldn't work though unless the manager has final say on whether a player is signed or not, it has to be the right person, otherwise it can cause more problems than it fixes. Our current manager did very well out of having Barry Frys football knowledge and eye for a player, so it could work.

Exactly Sammy, someone like Brian Flynn would be good for Rovers, he knows the game inside out.

Spot on, the right man for the job.

 I need to apologise to Carl Hall for saying he has a poor squad although more money was made available to him.  I got an e mail from Carl telling me he had the biggest injury list he has ever known and that young players brought in for the future were having to do a difficult job. He has tried without success to get loan players but clubs would not release any over the Easter period.  Sorry Carl if you reads this.

Theres a theme there   and a common denominator

[GazLaz]

Flynn is a fossil.

[graingrover]

 I am NOT the Messiah !!!! no no !   

[Sammy Chung was King]

Flynn is a fossil.

But a knowledgable one who can judge a player, ideal for that sort of role, that sort of experience is useful, his age doesn't matter.

Seems a standard quote though from the Keepmoat. always always . But Que Serra Serra, as long as you are ok Derek, as we said the other day, who really cares about anything else.
