Season 1989/90 in Division Two wasn't a memorable season for the Dons of the 28 league games played they won 15,lost 11 & 2 were drawn.



This was in the days before the introduction of summer rugby & played at Tattersfield yet the crowds were significantly much better than the Dons could attract in a very successful 2012 season played mostly in the summer in a new stadium.



A total of 31450 attended the 13 home games & 1 county cup game that are listed in the stats table shown below for season 1989/90 giving an average home attendance of 2246.(I don't have the attendance to hand for the Nottingham City game April 16 1990)



Highest home attendance 3843 against Oldham November 5th 1989

Lowest home attendance 1208 against Hunslet December 17th 1989

You are living in the past, that is a thought.

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.
