Doncaster Rugby League Club once again has a presence in Bentley. The club has erected two large advertising boards near their old Tattersfield ground on Bentley Road. The advertisements will catch traffic coming in and out of Bentley and will advertise forthcoming home games as the club look to increase their fan base. Dons' chief executive Carl Hall said: "The history of the club is strongly linked to Tattersfield and it's great to see the Dons back at their old stomping ground. "We hope these advertisements raise awareness of our games at the Keepmoat and it would be a big positive to see a few old faces return to see the boys in action. "We've got an excellent squad this season with a great mix of youth and experience and Tony's (Miller) got them playing some really attractive and attacking rugby league. "We're an ambitious club and we want to be playing at the highest possible level. I hope the Doncaster people continue to show their great support and encourage their friends and family to come and watch the Dons and see what they've missing." The club would like to thank our sponsors Centurion Europe Ltd and Murvic Contracts Ltd for the advertising boards. Centurion has kindly supplied the design and signage whilst Murvic completed the installation of the signage as a donation to the club. The Dons face Rochdale Hornets in a return fixture at the Keepmoat Stadium this Sunday - the game has a 3pm kick-off.Well done to the Dons for thinking of this. Maybe Rovers could do something similar. Our unlamented CEO used to think it was too difficult and expensive to bother about, but if the Dons can find a way to advertise their games, surely so can we.
When you drive into Sheffield along Parkway there are electronic signs warning of imminent football matches and possible congestion. There are similar electronic signs at various points in Doncaster so why not get a message out for Rovers home games? I know it's not advertising as such but it would at least raise awareness that there's a home game coming up.If cost is the deciding factor I'm pretty sure that would cost nothing more than a phone call.
