Does any one know what our average attendance has been so far this season? Am i correct in thinking that the club said we needed 300 to break even at the beginning of the year? I would have thought that they are quite a bit better than since the dark day of 192 against Blackpool. Hopefully next season we can progress, especially with the excellent ST offer from the club.

There is plenty of potential to increase the attendances as 288,854 people reside in the 112,739 households within the metropolitan borough of Doncaster

The problem is to get these people off their backsides and from in front of reality tv and get outside in the fresh air! Maybe we should target schools with free tickets etc.

it WOULD be great to get people get off their backsides and on to the terraces and if the figure of 509 as an average is correct then that is great ! what I would like to try to do is to try to persuade a small percentage of these die-hards to go a bit further and sponsor a player - it's not expensive over a year,not even a packet of fags each week so why not make the effort next season ? I can't believe only SIX people made the effort this year !

What? Try and take even more money from those diehards who probably contribute all they can.
Here's a better suggestion ... let's cast the net further and get others spending with the Club ... you can only go to the well so many times before it runs dry!

still can't believe only six sponsors can be bothered to make the effort - I know times are hard but when I read all the messages concerning 'more tales of real ale' etc etc just imagine if all you alcodonnies drank just ONE pint less on the pub crawl per week ,this could help pay a sponsorship !
I earn the minimum wage,run a house plus missus plus car & kids etc so if I can manage to find a yearly subscription to a championship side PLUS sponsorship of a Dons player PLUS the Dons lottery each week then so can many others out there in Donnyland !
