This week's In The Dugout was filmed at Bentley.

It was really good to see the kids getting so much fun out of playing the game.

Thought Carl's comments about where the club is at were very balanced.

That was a good interview with Carl. It was good to see him in that environment and clearly enjoying himself. There was also an impressive sidestep by one of the young lads at the play the ball.

I was interested to hear what he had to say about the Club Doncaster Foundation. The Rovers have over 300 kids on educational schemes through the Foundation and it would be good to get some involved on the rugby league side.

The Foundation is also involved in the National Citizen Service scheme and recently sent 150 young people up to the Lake District for a week's activities including canoeing, abseiling etc. The second week of the course involves workshops and team building skills while in the third and final week they have to create and deliver a social action project of their own choice for the benefit of a local organisation or charity.

One such project involved the young people helping in the maintenance of wards at DRI including cleaning and painting. They also raised an impressive £1200 for the hospital.

The Foundation's NCS Coordinator is Jan Budtz, the former Rovers goalkeeper. At 6' 6" he will no doubt be an imposing figure for the young people involved. Altogether the four courses run during the summer will have involved 600 young people.

Thats all very well but Club Doncaster is rubbish, didn't anyone tell you.



PS This post it appears is subject to a whoose (ask SO)

Yeah i once enjoyed the waffling from carl blaming harsh penalties and a dodgy forward pass for our loss and it was also nice to see the future hull fc youngsters in the background being coached but hey you keep handing your money over without questioning a thing! CLUB DONCASTER NEEDS YOU

Here's the Free Press write up of the trip to Bentley:

hally , please do not criticise people for not questioning things.
Did you go to fans forums meeting , did you forward any positive suggestions . Correct me if I am wrong but I would say NO !
Fans do question things that are going on at the club I assure you. I do not think there any happy clappers BUT there are people who care and want to see things right they may not come on here but they do correspond with club officials .

I was not going to contribute anymore to this debate but that lasted 36 hours .

Hally, you get what you want: Club Doncaster quit, Carl Hall leaves his job.

You're now in charge. Please outline your plan....

Moonshine and Hally those posts are beyond contempt. I suggest you find another club to support because you are not supporting the Dons. I will listen to constructive criticism but not rubbish like that.

To be fair to Moonshine although he over re acted the negative posts have been on the increase of late & hally is the latest to join in. May be an apology from him is called for & I hope he is big enough to do it . With regards to hally I think he got what wanted a reaction & he does not care what he says .

Oh dear

Whooaaa wind yer neck in fella, we are simply debating how we feel our rugby club should be run, what give's you the right to be judge and jury? moonshine see's it one way and I see it another what's wrong with that? We both spend our hard earned money every sunday supporting the dons up and down the country and at the end of the day we want the same thing so take a chill pill and realise this is a forum and people are allowed different opinions.

Hally it is hardly debating you say what is wrong , you have been asked a couple of times how to take the club forward without Club Doncaster & you haven't replied .
