I think many are the same SO both my Dad and I now watch from afar, the lack of a compelling reason to watch, falling out with the sport in general, working on call and it being usually the only day I get to spend with the missus all feed in to my apathy towards coughing up to attend games.

Sadly us 'long term fans' are not the target market, 1. Sponsors/investors 2. New fans 3. Older fans. We have come to terms with that nobody is held accountable for years of failure so if they can generate new fans they can milk and promise them everything knowing that they will have a few more years breathing space until they feel letdown! Eat, sleep, repeat for club disaster

My dad did make a good point the other day, if your not active on social media or the internet how would you know there was a friendly yesterday?

I haven't bought a newspaper for years so not sure if anything was in them, but other than the internet and press I'm not sure what other options there are, particularly for a friendly. TV and radio are never interested

Is the sign on Bentley road updated? It had season ticket info on last time I saw it

Cant see what the issue is with regards to the bolt on's to the season ticket.

If you dont want to go to the bar then you have the option of paying the £60 fee which is by far and away the cheapest season ticket in the game.
If you do then pay the additional £25.
The club could have quiet easily said season tickets £85 across the board but have given people the option given the current financial situation.

To be honest that’s how I’d seen it, if season tickets were £80 they’d still be the cheapest. But people have the option to save some money and not have it. Same as the car park. For me it’s a saving


The problem I think is with those who don’t get a season ticket, and the way it was announced

We only have 9 home games and there's a few i know that due to work commitments or holidays can only make 4 or 5 of those, would you say paying £85 is sensible for them?

If season tickets we're free they still would be overpriced based on the last 6 seasons! I do like the concept of the season ticket idea but the bolt ons poop is terrible, you seem surprised that some folk work weekends so can only get to half the games myself included do you think £20 a game in the bottom division constitutes value?

We are talking the odd pound here or there per game to get access , its an easy choice either pay it or don't go in the bar and walk across to Beefeater for a half of beer.

In the heart of Doncaster

Re: Restaurant Access : Tue Jan 17, 2023 10:41 am  
Season Tickets are extremely cheap. At 60 quid, the cost per game is £6.66. I don't think that can be what puts people off. Personally, I would rather the ticket cost £100 if the extra income was going to be used to improve the team and get us out of this league.

My issues with the restaurant charge is whether the entry cost will actually increase revenue streams or reduce them. I assume the club has done its homework and feels they will get more money coming in with the charge. Secondly, the 'cost per game charge' has been kept quiet until now. It should have been announced when season tickets went on sale.

There is clearly a lot of underlying bad feeling towards to club from 'lost fans' who feel disenfranchised. For various reasons, the club and the sport have not been able to keep everybody on board. This saddens me as it would be great if we could all be part of the same family as we crave success for the Dons.

Club Doncaster has not been able to unite the fans. Promises not being met (five year plan), an apparent lack of ambition/poor decision-making (unable to get out of the bottom league) and poor communications between the club and fans are all part of the problem (where are the minutes of the meetings between the fans' representatives and the club?).
