Having supported the club for so long (nearly 30 years now), and experienced the ups and downs, the false promises and failures, I do think this regime is a period of sense and rationality. And long may that reign.
That is why it is infuriating me to see some of the comments on this thread about the club.
This is not the Dons circa 1986. This is not the Dons of the 90's. This is the Dons of the 10's.
On this forum supporters asked for more communication. The club responded and appointed someone to do the job on a part time basis. He has done an amazing job in a very short space of time. Yet this is not enough for some "supporters".
All last season, myself included, there was a general consensus that we needed an experienced half back. The club have acted and asked for supporter help. At the open meeting the club said that a decision would be made in early January and the supporters would be given updates.
The meeting was held last Tuesday. For Christs sake please give them a chance. If we won the Superleague league leaders shield, and trophy, Challenge Cup and World Cup Challenge all in one season I still think some "supporters" would moan.
Supporters are people who pay money to go and watch their club.
Supporters are people who also donate money when asked.
The rest are just fans.
Everyone on here is a supporter.
They pay their money and are entitled to an opinion.
A ''supporter'' is a derogatory term for someone who is actually a supporter, but somehow his/her allegiance is in doubt.
So a ''supporter'' is not actually a real supporter.
Is that what you are saying?
Why don't you have some balls and name them?
The meeting wasn't last Tuesday either. It was a week last Tuesday.
DonsNews is doing a marvellous job and has received nothing but praise. Would you care to quote any examples of a contrary view point?
I think if you had just given a promissory note to someone of a value of around several thousands of pounds in total you would like at least some form of acknowledgement or thanks.
You know ...... ''thanks for your efforts, it's going well, we will keep you posted.'' Irrespective of the first week in January thing.
Is that really to much to ask?
And that is all folk are asking for.
It's all so easy to lump it all in as moaning isn't it??
Don't ask questions ... it's moaning.
OK, let's not even bother posting.
It's a forum for goodness sake, not an arm of the Dons RFLC and as such open to all viewpoints, even yours.
If it had been up to certain individuals, half of us would have been banned for our views and hence SILENCED! While at the same time being the people supporting them financially.
Because after all some of us are not real supporters, we are ''supporters''.
Thanks a lot buddy!
Apart from that, Merry Xmas.
