Don't think Dons fans go there apart from a very few occasionally.

I have been there in the past pre-match.

It's a good real ale place, wooden floorboards, TVs, chav free as you probably already know.

Kalos/SO,



thanks for the heads up - so where do the Don fans drink before the game?

I dare say that's why they maybe doing it!!!!

Castle, Robbo, Spiers, Carbutt, as the 4 props. Plenty of 2nd rows and all keen to play and give 100%. If Colbons attitude at Batley anything to go on forget Hull players.IMO

The Keepmoat is not like some grounds with pubs right next door that fans automatically gravitate to.

It is stuck on its own, the nearest pub is the Lakeside which is at the bottom of the Yorkshire Outlet opposite the ground.

Then there is the Cheswold the other side of the Lake. I suppose a few might go in there.

The ground has its own bar inside, which is up the concrete steps in the East Stand. You can get a drink there before the game.

I sup in Doncaster before the game, but there are no gatherings of Dons fans as such.

Three Wetherspoons in Doncaster.

We may get Jay Pitts but Hull fans report he is not 100% fit .

I think Richard Wilkinson is playing. Whether that is as a replacement for Danny Nicklas or not, I do not know.

Pub wise - I rarely see people in the cheswold, but often a few in The Lakeside. They do black sheep there. (Cheswold will often have a few cask beers).



It's cheaper at the Keepmoat now; so depends what you're after

Looks like Paul is one of those coaches who keeps things close to his chest regarding injuries .



Wilkinson could play full back or stand off , a lot will depend on fitness of other players eg Kes & Nicklas. Most likely to play off the bench for me.

Hope the 4 props mentioned are fully fit.

Dons currently being offered with a 14 point start on the Handicap Betting with both Bet365 & Skybet.



Bet365 are best-priced about a Dons win offering 5/1.

Ironically, I tend only to drink on match day after the match these days ... either locally after getting home or in the Town centre pubs such as the Angel, Gatehouse, Cask Corner and Tut n Shive.
