Will the announcement tell us that Keightley has come out of special measures?

Jane had a cup of coffee last night. I don't think she slipped in any 'special measures'. She appeared quite sober throughout the entire evening!

One funny thing happened, that might not reach the minutes: it was suggested that Carl should play in Kes's testimonial on Sunday. He joked that he'd be okay to go on to kick-off but then he'd need to be substituted!

With regards to your question about the half-time draw, Brian - Ray Green looks after this. He said the prize money is directly related to ticket sales. He added that whilst there were a lot of Hull fans at the game, not many seemed interested in buying the tickets. If ticket sales increase, the prize money will go back up again.

I must admit that I normally get a ticket but with having to go to the ticket office first I forgot to get one when I got back round to the turnstiles. I think I was also in shock after buying my first ever ticket at the Over 60s concession rate. I've been in denial that I'm 60 but buying that ticket made it a reality!

I've now recovered from the shock so half-time draw ticket sales will be boosted by my purchase this Sunday!

Do you have a rough idea when this statement will be released ?

Jane was hopeful that she'd have everything typed up sometime today. I'm keeping my eye on my Inbox so as soon as the minutes land, I'll get them posted on here.

I've got to go out shortly (around 4pm) but I'll be back home around 5.30. I promise I'll get the minutes posted on here as soon as I receive them.

No club announcement as promised,so are the minutes waiting for the club announcement or the announcement waiting for the minutes.Just like always,an absolute shambles and in no way encourages supporters to go down on Sunday in support of Kyle Kesik. It doesn't bother me cause I'm not interested anymore but loyal supporters deserve better.

absolutely disgusting the lack of information from the club what the hell is going on why are we the fans who pay our hard earned money to keep this club going told absolutely sod all,,, surely CLUB Doncaster is a business and the first rule of business is KEEP THE CUSTOMERS HAPPY,, I feel totally alienated and cut off from the team/club Ive spent half my life supporting.

We normally get the minutes of the meeting the following day. They've not been sent out yet. There may be a good reason for this, I don't know.

With regards to the last two posts, the club never promised an announcement today. They said an announcement would be made. Maybe I was too quick to presume the announcement (and minutes) would be out today - so please blame me, and not them.

As soon as I know any more, I'll update you.

It has a strong whiff of the "Albert Brothers to Sign" Fiasco.....the promise of "Jam Tomorrow"

Re: Fans Panel Meeting Thursday 10th January 2019 : Fri Jan 11, 2019 9:22 pm  

"The minutes of the meeting will be published tomorrow when the club will be making a formal announcement." This is what you said last night after the meeting DM. So someone at the meeting must have said something about an announcement and it can't be much clearer than that.The supporters are being treated with so much contempt it is unbelievable.Some good news about signings or quality loan players would have put maybe 200 or 300 extra on the gate towards Kyles benefit but the club hasn't got a clue.

It has an even stronger whiff of the club listening to the fans and taking action to deal with the concerns raised.
