I thought as a long standing supporter of the game you could have come up with a more constructive answer

No , any way you are not a supporter of the game.

Paul it is a fair question many other clubs are in the same situation as the Dons you can't just ignore how the crowds have declined even in the super league Salford had just over 2000 there last night

There must be some valid reasons for this ie the current economic climate , matches played on different days, promotion or relegation only every three years, cheaper to watch the game on television.

You are like a politciian Geoff, you havent answered my question are you a fan of the game ?

Sky television taking the game away from the masses, seemingly constant rule changes , the casual supporter no longer understands the game. Many ridicule the play off system, particularly in the championship with nothing to play for. Many laugh that a team who finishes eighth could be crowned champions.

Where & when did you post the question?

5.38pm . but it was more of a statement based on your previous postings.

So you haven't actually asked me the question.

Forget it Geoff, I am more concerned with the Dons 2013 .

The collapse of the mining industry collapsed the fan base.

The collapse of The Dons since 1995 on a regular basis hasn't been much of an attraction either. And before someone decides to takes offence, this is not a pop at the current regime who have done sterling work in stabilising the club, and taking it forward.

I have said before that given the current situation in which the Dons play (stadium, season, recent achievements) and the fact that there are considerable numbers of rugby league fans within the DMBC area it should not be too much to expect to get perhaps 1% of the DMB population at home matches. This would amount to crowds of about 3,000. What does it need to get these people out of their homes for a couple of hours on a Sunday afternoon? The Keepmoat is not, perhaps the easiest place to get to. Would the provision of dedicated bus services from the outlying areas make a difference? Are some people staying away because we are no longer at Tattersfield?
