The realist in me says we do need a major injection of new blood into the squad - I can see a few moving on or retiring, business needs to be done early and build on the buzz caused by yesterday.
I noticed quite a few Rovers fans there yesterday I wonder how many can be swayed to watch both or just watch the Dons?
I agree its considerably cheaper to fund a strong Championship team than a League 2 football club, I think in some regards we got lucky at the end of the season with players of the calibre of Vete and Fonua becoming available (well done for getting them in) but it was papering over the cracks in some regard still.
We cannot afford to do that next season or as K&C has said we'll become a yoyo club and all the good work leading to yesterday will be worth nothing.
My view Steve is that if the product is good and both arms of Club Doncaster have committed players and happy squads and they can see the effort is there then there is no reason not to support both the Rovers and the Dons, tribal loyalties aside. The stretch will be for some folk the finance of supporting both teams.
I can't see for the life of me a sixty quid season ticket next year for the Dons and if they are to maintain their Championship position then surely there has to be extra revenue to finance that stance. The extra income from an increase in the number of away fans for next year will no doubt help as will extra revenue from the RL and hopefully a good increase in sponsorship money.
A big well done for finally making it out of League one lets hope that they are up to the challenge of this next level.
