No, we wouldn't want that.

So what day is best for them as well?
Would that also be Sunday?

An interesting thought. It could make either Saturday evening or Sunday afternoon the players choice (depending on work commitments).

Personally, my interest would probably be stretched to the limit if the majority of the games weren't on a Sunday afternoon.

Im easy with any of them to be honest.

But fridays are no good at all for shift workers. Thats the bother i had a couple of years ago, putting holiday hours in and then rushing off to work on a friday night.No good. Even worse for the away fans.

Also like SO says the lads who are pulling the jumpers on might not like friday nights if they have been at work all day.

From a selfish point of view Friday evenings are probably best for me, but I appreciate they're not great for a lot of people or players. I would also be happy for them to stay as is

I wouldn't want Saturday though, would make fixture clashes with the Rovers awkward and more likely and would feel lile it's taking up the whole weekend

For me its Sunday afternoon at 3:00pm
Saturdays - too much messing around and short notice changes at the whim of the Rovers!
Friday night - agree with other posts less than ideal for shift workers, away fans travelling here and not least the players who have been at work all day.

Sunday 3pm for me

Re: Match Days/Times for 2011 : Wed Jul 28, 2010 6:35 pm  

When will the club be making a decision on this?
If its any other day than sunday then theres not point in buying a season ticket as i'll not make any of the games.

Agreed. No clash with the Rovers please. Sunday at 3pm is my choice

Lets be revolutionary,



During the cold months of the early summer season, eg, Jan, Feb, March, possibly April keep to Sunday 3pm kick offs as weather is too cold to go anywhere else!

Then in the proper summer move to Saturday evenings so we can all go for a picnic on Sunday

However the availability of the players must be the first consideration.

Also what will the Doncaster Belles be doing in their new Summer 'Super League' at the Keepmoat next year and who has first pick of matchdays because this debate may be completely irrelevant due to boardroom decisions at the Keepmoat.
