It’s their ground ffs might not like it I certainly don’t but we are mear tennants paying quite low rent. If our landlord sticks to his word by April we will be looking for a new homeThey are properly trying to put the squeeze on us now. Changing our games to suit theirs and closing off part of the ground to our fans. I think they're trying to disillusion us in the hope it will increase their attendances, they know they've hit peak and it's not going to work for them now so we're starting to see more of the underhand hedge fund tactics come to play.
They promised their move would not affect us in any way. they are trying to get our fans to be pissed off with our club. They may currently have the keys but it will never be their ground.It’s their ground ffs might not like it I certainly don’t but we are mear tennants paying quite low rent.

It’s a fixture clash, it doesn’t always have to be about Sisu or wasps and who is to blame.
We will move many more games this season due to fixture clashes.
And I would expect the 4th to be moved as well.
Serious question...what is our rent now ? ...and how comparable is it to other clubs ?Yet another trying to push the low rent line...

I'd normally agree with you but this coupled with the closing of blocks looks suspiciously like destabilisation.I don't think their reason is primarily about destabilising CCFC, it is more about them trying to sell more tickets themselves and increase the matchday revenue generated.
It just shows really though that realistically the two teams can't groundshare to gain mutual benefit to its fullest extent, contrary to what that prick from Beduff says.
Just a coincidence, stu.So out of the 4 clashes, 3 have been moved so far...and are all our games.

Our relationship with the council doesn't matter any more. We could have the best owners in the world, local cov fans who want to pump money into the club and run us properly but London Wasps have a 250 year lease on our stadium. There are no other examples of clubs only paying for 23 days a year access but there are many examples of teams paying less than us for complete 365 day use with all revenue.That looks a great deal...Doncaster council obviously get on very well with the football club's owners.
If only our two weren't at war !
Just for balance, are there clubs with expensive deals ?

You don't think decreasing attendances at their major sporting competitor has any possibility of getting more customers at their games?Literally insane. How would any of that increase their attendance?
No, because football is the game of the pure and kings and rugby is just silly.You don't think decreasing attendances at their major sporting competitor has any possibility of getting more customers at their games?
I’ve seen no actual figures on this so I can make a reasoned judgement on whether we are paying an unreasonable amount or not.Yet another trying to push the low rent line...

What are the figures and the source or we will keep going round in circles?

Since when did Nicky care about what fans want?On their forum though they generally want Sunday fixtures
