5 year plan for Club Doncaster : Thu Jan 05, 2017 8:21 am  
Championship for Rovers & Super League for the Dons by 2022.
Dons to go full time within 2/3 years .

Increased budget for 2017 for the Dons .

The first step is to get out of this league , Toronto look firm favourites to gain promotion with 1 other this season . If Bradford manage to start in the Championship in 2017 with a 12 point deduction they will be odds on for relegation to C1 in 2018 , players are free agents & leaving !

I think there is a review of the league structure for 2018 which could help or hinder our attempts to get back into the championship.

Hope for interesting times ahead .

I'd like to think there is a difference between a plan and a desire. :)

Agreed Weighman. Damned if they do etc. I like the fact they are showing some ambition and having a target to aim for.

And let's be up front here, who else is going to step in and provide the necessary backing to get us out of this League and move forward?

Re: 5 year plan for Club Doncaster : Sat Jan 07, 2017 11:02 am  
Any business needs to have a plan ... well done to Club Doncaster for declaring their intentions.

In the great scheme of things, I believe the aim of getting the Rovers into the Championship is a slightly easier challenge than getting the Dons into Super League. Unless the wheels fall off in the second half of this season, the Rovers will be halfway there. Taking the next step (to the Championship) won't be easy but should be possible as they'll have seasons 17-18, 18-19, 19-20, and 20-21 in League One to give therm four attempts of gaining another promotion.

Getting the Dons into Super League within the intended time frame is tougher. If we don't get out of Championship 1 this season, I would suggest it would be almost impossible. The timetable will probably have to look like this:

2017: Promotion from Championship 1
2018: Stabilise in the Championship (top 8 finish)
2019: Go full-time to challenge for a top four finish (probably finishing in the top 6)
2020: Invest more money to improve on the 2019 performance. Make the top four (but probably miss out on promotion)
2021: Top four finish required with success in the Middle Eights to gain promotion.
2022: Playing in Super League

Even the mighty Leigh needed two attempts in the Middle Eights to gain promotion and they'd dominated the Championship. It's hard to see any side getting into Super League at their first attempt in the play-offs, although I suppose it just depends whether any of the Super League teams hit financial problems (as maybe the case if Dr Koukash departs Salford).

Being realistic, with the likes of Toronto and Hull KR aiming to get into Super League, the competition will be tough. There are others to be feared too. We have an ambitious plan; let's hope the Rovers and the Dons achieve their aims.

Well thought out Post DM. The Town may be in the doldrums somewhat (nothing different to most Northern Towns that have experienced a slump in traditional work) It does not mean the Towns sporting clubs cannot help to re-build a good feeling. (IMO)

I've got a good plan for year 1 ..... try starting the season with an injury/rehabilitation list NOT comprising a quarter of the squad!
This will be the second season under GT that we really haven't got the bodies, apart from on paper, to get going properly.

The Eagles will be quaking! :oops:
