The supporters are constantly told that the club is financially stable having just read on the companies house website the clubs abbreviated unaudited accounts for the year ending 31st October 2014 I was surprised at the amount of liabilities they have.

When Club Doncaster bought the Dons did I imagine that the sum of 100k was paid out because someone was struggling for cash?

The biggest worry now is that the supporters who are leaving are part of the hard core of fans who went week in week out for years no matter what.
There will be no one left to rescue the club next time when the present incumbents in charge walk away and pretend that none of it was their fault

I was told at the weekend the club will still be aiming for super league and that club doncaster will step up and fund that even if there's 1000 or 1 fan attending games, the signings coming in are very good quality which will surprise people. I was speaking to carl on saturday and was impressed with his passion and vision, you might call me naive or gullible and that we've heard that before but i believed what he told me, i was as cynical as the next person and still want answers for this shambolic/pathetic season but i'm gonna reserve my judgement until the signings are confirmed. It's been horrific and painful to watch but stick with the club there will be better days. COYD

If thats the case why haven't they stepped up and funded this year then, they are totally blind, as some have said
there is alot of supporters thats watched for yrs and yrs that will NOT come back after this season.
a load of rubbish being said again to late.
Thornton was the wrong man at the start.
I also hope we don't become sheffields second team with their rejects.

Your totally right this season has been a disaster starting from the recruitment to the timing of the changing of coaches, and i'm with you regarding thornton there's a big question mark of wether we should of aimed for someone higher but against all my judgements i think it's unfair not to give him a full pre-season and the chance to bring his own players in. Confidence and morale is at an all time low and it goes without saying i want the season to end now but hearing the calibre of players coming in and plans put in place for the future i really do think we will be back in championship next year better and stronger. I hope the stay always have a change of heart (anything better is better than meadowhall on a sunday afternoon!) and stick with the club we have been through alot worse times. COYD

At least your optimism gives us something to look forward to. We really do need something to cheer us up and give us some hope. I wonder when the first of the signings will be announced?

I read today that Dominic Brambani (released by Sheffield) is likely to sign for Batley for next season.

I do hope that LB knows some actual names and that they are quality.
And that he is just not going on promises ...
Because if they aren't better than the likes of Brambani, I am gonna scream and scream until I am sick! :DEPRESSED:
