Eccles has got the team playing well. Pity that wasn't the case at the start of the season. Very much a wasted opportunity in a new home. Not sure what the crowd was but seemed quite thin considering how cheap tickets are now.

Football season has started, the time to push for the dons fans was in the summer break when football was on holiday, and people wanting to get there weekly live sports fix.... Of course that would mean playing at PL in the summer, not 5 away games in a row then playing in Kent

seeing that the price of tickets was £6 and still could not get 1K fans, just shows how much they have messd it all up. Will be amazed if they are still at PL next year. But where will they go, to Kent where they played the 2 on the road games?

Watched the game again. A really good advert for RL and the Broncos. I hope some new fans come back. A lot of really good stuff from pretty much the whole 17. There’s definitely some space in the squad for players to come in although not perhaps exclusively from L1 this time. They do seem to have gelled now and players like Leyland and Oakley have benefitted from game time. Some like Macani and Ulberg, who started the season slowly IMHO, have shown they are good players and returnees like Walker and Davis have strengthened the squad. There are reasons to be optimistic although this is a competitive league and I suspect we are still some way from the business end of the league. I hope the upturn in form might encourage some players to see London as a viable option. It’s an expensive place but you’re only young once and although Batley is the Paris of the North and Aristotle spoke highly of Keighley there are one or two points of interest in London for the enquiring mind as long as the club looks after the players.
