... it will be interesting to see what happens in the next couple of days.

The club are on the case !

Lee Gommersall unavailable , but new signing Aaron Dobek is according to Free press !

There is no way we should move the kick off time!
The fact that a bunch of losers are fannying about in Soth Africa is of no consequence to true RL fans!



The so called England team will lose in any case.

I can see Sunday as the day we lose to the Germans on penalties (AGAIN) and I miss a Dons match I was looking forward to.....since I haven't seen them for nearly a month.

It says on one of the Rochdale forums that this is now Saturday, but i can not see anything anywhere to confirm this!

I'm really annoyed now because earlier in the week i turned down two tickets for Cas V Bulls which has now been moved!

[size=120DONS V ROCHDALE now SATURDAY 26/06/10 ... 7.30pm.[/size

Yippee!!!!

I don't know what sort of crowd we will get on Saturday night, although probably more than the Sunday on this occasion.

to both Clubs for agreeing this and agreeing it quickly.

I'm stuck at work now for this

Well done to all concerned !

im at work to i said get FIFA to shift the england game not move ours JESUS CHRIST does nobody listen

That counts me out. I'm at a wedding in Darlington Saturday night and i don't think i will get away with going awol for this. It makes my decision easier as it was a bit of a dilemma that one. Another god knows how long till the next time i get to watch the mighty DONS.

Have the club acted too quickly, surely it would have been a better idea to just bring the kick off time forward on Sunday. This way fans could have watched the game in the restaurant and the club could have made an event out of it and possibly a few extra pennies.

And unfortunately I shall now have to miss one of those rare things, a game in June!

Hi mate ...

A difficult one this ... My initial reaction was to applaud the Clubs for moving the game, something which I think they obviously had to do. Reading the posts so far on here it looks pretty much like the switch to Saturday evening has excluded quite a few and others may not come because they too have plans for Saturday.

Moving the game was a no-brainer in my opinion but it may be that Rochdale didn't want a Sunday lunchtime kick off and the only way to agree the switch was to play Saturday (I don't know, I'm guessing).

As has been said earlier on the thread, it's hard to know what the attendance will be on Saturday but it will certainly be more than if it hadn't been switched.

I understand one of the problems moving the fixture to lunch time on Sunday was the Car Boot Sale which is on Sunday morning .

Besides the players will want to watch England.....presumably.


Unfortunately...if the sample on here is anything to go by....Saturday could be badly attended too....and the message of a change has to received by supporters who might not be aware.
Anyone with any gumption would have noticed the clash though and looked to check the kick-off time (and date) surely?

i must be the only happy bunny on here today.i was working all day sunday,now i can attend.

But a Noon (or even a 1pm) Kick Off on Sunday would have allowed for that to happen.

Looks like the Car Boot is the issue from Paul's comments above.

You would hope so.

Early betting ...

Handicap betting ... Dons +10pts 10/11 Bet365 & Skybet.

Match betting ... Dons 11/4 Bet365 ... 5/2 Skybet.

Yes I know and that's why I suggested noon myself (first by the way

).....but if you look at your post you'll see why I put what I did.

You're too clever for me (but then I knew that already

).

For the record, I wasn't suggesting a lunchtime kick off merely opining that it would still allow the players to watch England - Saturday evening will do fine on this occasion.

I know you weren't....and Saturday will do just fine by me....I will record the game that takes place at that time in the World Cup (USA vs whoever...who cares) and settle down after a few pints to watch the mighty Dons.

The estimate is that 35 Million people will watch England's game...that still leaves 27 million free to watch the Dons.
