I love the Dons, but i'd not want to miss the chance of watching what could be a once in a lifetime event for a nothing game between 2 teams who can't achieve that much this year and will be repeating the affair next year

I remember watching England in 1966. As kids we were all singing and chanting in the streets afterwards. Great memories. We all thought we'd win it again in 1970 and here we are, still waiting. I hope we can get the kick-off changed so we can watch both.

I realise it's a bit messy for Wales but I hope something can be sorted.

Fully agree Jemmo.

With the apathy of this game I fear the stewards will out-number the fans four to one.

Firstly we have a home game that is anything but.

A promotion challenging team that is anything but.

A credible opposition which is anything but.

Combine that with a chance to see England make history in the world cup final ……….. I know where most people will be, and it wont be Post Office Road

Hi Di Hi!

See you got your own way.

I may just have a wry smile if England don't make the final.

I can't remember you cricket loving Yorkshire folk wanting to change ko times when the Ashes Games were 'interesting'.

On the subject of interesting - don't let your players/coaching staff know about the referee and his previous involvement with West Wales Raiders.

Fun under the sun in Featherstone.Looking forward to it...and our 2 new signings making a difference.

The distance from Llanelli to Featherstone is 220 miles & unless they are planning to travel on Saturday with an overnight stop they are going to have to set off very early Sunday morning.

Just a thought if England or GB Rugby League team made it to the final of the Rugby World Cup how many football league teams would alter there kick off times so they didn't clash with the televising of the final.

All of them if they thought it would more than half their gates...which it wouldn't. Same with the cricket

Your lot must have agreed or it wouldn't have moved. England may not make the final, but surely it's better to make any changes now than even closer to the game cause some people moan that 3 months is too short notice, let alone 3 days
