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.

The Ghanaians probably.

I reckon that leaves all 62 milion free to watch the Dons

Well after we lose on penalties to the Germans it might....otherwise[size=200 NO WAY!!![/size

Hills ... Dons +10pts 5/6.

+10 seems to be the concensus. Ladbrokes and Paddy Power now quote the same handicap with the same price as Hills 5/6.

Dons 30 v Hornets 20, good win for the Dons .
Rob Lunt was excellent we controlled the game for the first 20 mins, Rochdale came back . Dons played well in the 2nd half until thr last 10 mins when we allowed the opposition back into the game .
A decent referee for a change too.

Yes...very good...I thought we would beat Rochdale.
They surprised me with how good SOME of their players are.

For us..Rob Lunt is one exceptional player and was clearly man of the match.

Nothing really to moan about ....which is a shame





However, as well as he played ...and he is a talent, someone needs to have a word with Henry about what he did at the end of the game.

This is where we should kick on and beat York and Blackpool......but will we??????
We are capable and if we want a play-off place..... that is what is needed.

What did Henry do ?

He fielded a punt from Rochdale at full back position about thirty yards out, stopped, then ran backwards and sidewards and then threw the ball out on about his own 10 metre line.

Now this was all based on the premise that the game would stop at 80 minutes according to the keepmoat clock...when in fact he didn't have a clue how long was left. The ball was thus gifted to Rochdale who could then have scored and then scored from the restart and won the game. Very unlikely, but possible.

Luckily Henry was right and the hooter went as the scrum was forming ....but I thought it was a silly thing to do. He would have been better taking the tackle or kicking up field.

good result, shame we couldent get them out to south africa by tommorow!

You're not really Henry's mum are you?....because even if you were...you'd be biased.
And what the fook influence would rugby players have on the outcome of a football game??
