Many of the few remaining Wakefield supporters I know are also stalwart supporters of the local amateur game which, guess what, play on Saturday afternoons.

If this becomes the norm then these said people,myself included, could well have to choose between the two. When it involves family members playing the amateur game then I know where many loyalties will lie again to the detriment of Wakey's crowds.

Perhaps it will be more convenient for Dewsbury if we play on Saturdays next season?

Its all supposition but if we do end up in a ground share next year, be it Dewsbury, Hunslet, Fev or wherever, there will inevitably be some weekends when both clubs might need to play at home. It therefore makes sense that MC would gauge interest in Saturday fixtures both by staging a couple of games on Saturdays but doubtless by watching the comments on social media.

I would say he has considered this very carefully because his ultimate goal is to switch our games to a Saturday probably because it suits our landlords. If you are trying to prove Saturday's generate more interest than Sunday's which three games would you choose. I would expect the fact it is the play offs would naturally increase the attendance with both the home and away supporters compared with the non fixtures of the last few months.

Why if you come to Dewsbury do you have to play on a Saturday.Why cant we do double headers like at Donny.

Its because any reason that can be found to paint the picture that our club plays second fiddle will be explored. Its tosh, Dews don't play at home every sunday its every other sunday. I

How would you split the revenue if each match was a double header ?

Having said that Dewsbury will only use the ground every other Sunday and it cant be too difficult for the fixture planners to sort.

Yes. That's exactly why they are exploring the Saturday option, in order to make us look second fiddle...

Trnity HC what are you talking about. If the move to Dews comes off the Sunday fixtures would be easy to arrange, every other week when dews are not playing at home. We could even throw a Friday night game in now and again, infact I would prefer home games to be played on a Friday.
It would be interesting to see what kind of response the club would get from Sat fixtures , if the gates increase you could hardly blame the club for changing or exploring the possibility of playing Sat.
Whats the big problem

FTR, the reason for playing Saturday's in the middle 8 is that BS requested at least 6 days between games and the only way to do so was to play on Saturdays.
MC is only too aware that there would be some who would disapprove, but their inconvenience is nothing compared to the significance of our wish to compete to our highest level in these games and be in SL next year.
There is nothing more behind this than a Rugby decision.

Not true going by the quote by Carter himself.

I've missed something then.

Tbf, I was talking to him about this season and that is the reason for the Saturday games now!
