  1. New Doncaster away kit. (Photo: Mark Whitelegge on FB)
  2. Barnsley is an interesting case as they once had a couple of strong(ish) rugby clubs pre-schism. They had such a reputation for rough play that no-one wanted to play against them, and they disappeared shortly after. Barnsley being so close to footballing hotbed Sheffield didn't help either.
  3. On the subject of RL in strange places, I saw this today. Would be interesting to follow this up
  4. Not sure about this season, but in recent years we've averaged 850 or so.
  5. 2,548 at Doncaster for the League 1 Playoff Final.
  6. My dad grew up a short distance from Tattersfield. By the time he started watching them, The Dons had been in existence for around twenty (mostly lean) years. I began going to games around the time the club were changing from perpetual also-rans to something more competitive. My family had moved to West Yorkshire by this point, so we went to away games almost as regularly as home fixtures. I now live in Finland and rarely get to games, but I'll be cheering us on from my sofa next weekend.
  7. York Press gives an attendance figure of 2991 for the Bulldogs - Knights game.
  8. Dicky Lockwood. I'd like to have seen him play in both his RU and NU days. A chat with many of the main characters involved in rugby around the time of the schism (Rev. Frank Marshall, G. Rowland Hill, etc) would be interesting.
  9. 3000 there according to the media outlet Nouvelles Dujour
  10. Adult tickets from £20, concessions from £2.21. Premium ticket price £25. That's not bad, is it?
  11. Talking of Allo Allo, Gorden Kaye (René) was from Huddersfield and played RL as a junior for Moldgreen.
