Yes mate was chatting to his parents and they were saying he needs to calm down, because he is quite short fused but he did well yesterday playing all the games, without sin bin or sending off. but it was nice to see someone with some fire in the belly

We could do with a bit of that as long as it's controlled.

There were about eleven of us over in Blackpool, the weather was great, there was plenty of rugby to watch AND WE WON A GAME YYYYYYYIIIIIIPPPPPEEEEE and i was in Blackpool to see it.

My missus and me, Karlos, Alex Palmers mum and dad, Col and Adele Holt, another guy who i dont know is name was there with his son, Scott Smith`s mum and dad and Danny Stanley`s mum and dad.
Anton Garcia was there and had a drink with Donny fans, we were stood talking and mixing with the players all afternoon, well done to the lads for not giving up.

That was Paul Maddison Baz, he takes his lad to all the Dons games home & away

I think it was the biggest cheer of the day when Donny won that game want it.. I was made up for the lads..

It was worth the wait, and am glad for the lads.

Did you behave yourselves last night and not have too much to drink?

Hope you enjoyed the night and had a good laugh.

Yes we we had a good night but I gave the dancing on the tables a miss, cos I didnt want to be too tired to get up this morning for the play-off's...

Seriously though.. I think it was a great weekend. Socalising with all the other teams supporters was great, and we saw a lot of players that used to play for Donny and it was nice to say hello to them again.. With a bit more planning (a score board would have been good.. lol) and more advanced advertisement, it could turn into an anual event with the support it deserves..

Great day and great to see the lads win as well.They played well in that last game agianst Keighley and it was nice to see a few smiles on faces (players and fans) after that.

Have to make sure more people get over for the weekend next year, really enjoyed it!
