Karlos is right we need to stay calm.

If Sheffield are going to use the Keepmoat, discussions with all parties will take to time to sort. Any time delay can't be interpretted as bad news.

The end result will hopefully mean the Keepmoat gets more income, the Dons keep their 3pm kick off times, and Sheffield get a ground to play in that is acceptable to the RFL - bringing benefits to everyone, and hassle to no one.

The nomads will only want one season as they will be moving into the new stadium in Sheffield in 2016 so doubt the club will jeopardise the Dons support for a short term gain.

Corrrect me if I'm wrong but don't teams playing in the Championship next season have to play at a stadium with a minimum of 1500 seats hence the reason the Eagles aren't playing at Owlerton next season
I dont think Castle Park as got 1500 seats so how can the Dons play there home fixtures there?

Re: 2015 fixtures : Wed Oct 22, 2014 8:52 am  

Depends on how you interpret it. You're going to need a stadium "available" with 1500 seats when you play Bradford because I expect they'll bring a few. Maybe you won't need so many when you play some of the other teams so you could play at Castle Park so long as the Keepmoat is "available".

The RFL aren't into putting clubs into financial jeopardy through pointless expense.

It wouldn't be "available" if Sheffield were there on the same day.

Looking at all this from another angle , how does all this tie in with Sheffield's action against us with the RFL?

Its rather ironic that all this is going on and Club Donny are the ones helping them out.

If Sheffield get an extra £25k off us for finishing higher in the league, when we get three points docked, they can give us the £25k back as rent.

Have a listen to Carl Hall on the Official site re Castle Park.

We aren't moving there all next season but didn't rule out 1 or 2 matches.
