If you do a search for "Doncaster" or "Keepmoat" on RLFANS there seems to be a number of references to our potential soon to be homeless Super League cousins Wakefield and Castleford speculating about temporary moves to The Keepmoat while their Pipedream Parks are built.

Not heard anything from our end, and if anything SMC already think The Keepmoat pitch has too many games a year on it, so I can only assume it is speculation/wishful thinking at best. Also can't imagine O'Driscoll even entertaining it for a moment

Yes, i have seen the word Keepmoat turning up on a few forums. I assume this is idle speculation. I wouldn't like see another team moving in, but if they did who would have priority for Sunday afternoons. Having said that i don't think either Cas or Wakey will be getting a new stadium...

I think the exact quote was something along the lines of "We need to be playing at a facility like the Keepmoat", I don't think for one minute they'd entertain playing here.

The Wakefield link seems to have been around for some months now but Castleford is a more recent suggestion. As you say, the opposition to any proposed move would certainly include how the Rovers would view it all.

and the keepmoat will have more games on it from may when the Doncaster Belles begin to play their games in the main arena. we had the Belles looking at what we do on matchdays last sunday, so i dont think having outta Donny teams playing there is a good idea

Was the Keepmoat Stadium paid for by the council tax payers of Doncaster?
