well, for the first time in a long long time Im actually looking forward to a game, after the last result there is a tiny spark of hope in my heart. this will be by far our biggest test in a pretty dire (fixture wise) season if we can field the same side as last friday and they are 100% fit then who knows. The team /coach and management have had some flack this season (most of it justified) so this week lets put on a good display try and convince the last few loyal fans that we can play some rugby and maybe a few of the disheartened fans may bring themselves back into the fold.

The other weekend games are:

Keighley v Skolars
Rochdale v York
Barrow v Hunslet

The table:

1 Toulouse 16 15 1 0 788 204 31
2 Rochdale 17 14 1 2 615 318 29
3 Barrow 17 12 1 4 623 283 25
4 Doncaster 16 11 0 5 547 368 22
5 York 16 10 1 5 504 322 21
6 Hunslet 17 10 0 7 455 444 20
7 Keighley 17 9 0 8 536 444 18
8 Skolars 16 8 0 8 408 444 16

I think it's probably better for us if York lose to Rochdale as we're not likely to catch Rochdale.

Yes and a very big hopefully, hunslet can get something at barrow but doubt it they are the form team at the minute after Toulouse.

I don't think anyone really expects us to win, though we are capable of it. If we can keep our heads and improve our defensive lapses, we will give them a game, otherwise it could be another bad day against a side above us.

Thanks mate. I noticed there is a fish & chip shop not far away either. Is there decent parking at the stadium ? Is it free parking ?

There'll be plenty of room in the stadium car park. It was £4 when I last used it.

The best nearby fish and chip shop is called Whitby's, just over the road from the main racecourse grandstand, about 5 minutes drive from the stadium. If you've got a Sat Nav the post code is DN2 6DR, on Leger Way. They have a restaurant and a take away. They have a car park too.

There should be ample free car parking spaces around the lake near the stadium if you get there at least half an hour before the kick-off.

Have a safe trip! I hope you enjoy your time in Doncaster!

£4 in car park, free around the lake.
