Thanks Jemmo.

It's quite sad that we've potentially got the biggest match of the season and no bus.

Now here's a thought...

If IMG awarded status points based on the number of fans travelling to away games, it might encourage clubs to do more. I know our buses have always been arranged through volunteers - which must be a very arduous task.

My suggestion would be for Club Doncaster to set up a database of people potentially interested in away travel. Send all on the list an email four weeks before an away game asking for interest, quoting the travel price and departure times. Surely a deal could be struck with the same bus company that takes the players?

If there is sufficient interest, booking should be done online through the club Box office.

Supporter volunteers would then only need to count people on and count people off the bus, making it a much more manageable task for them - and the volunteers should be given a free ticket into the match.

Having away fans at a game must help lift the players.
