If the weather is ok this is a great idea normally watch the tournament games at the dome

It is a really good idea but don't think it would be very family friendly if the bar opens at 12 and the match doesn't kick off till 8. Maybe just my opinion

Good idea. Can see a few ending up in the lake if it's a hot day and England win.

Let's hope it's better than Crystal Palace's effort.

Regular advertisements on the big screen regarding tickets, season tickets and membership throughout the day is a must, it presents a great oppourtunity

Unfortunately I can see this being 'scrote' central, especially if the weathers good and alcohol is being served all day. Hope I'm wrong.

A lot will prefer to watch in town though with it being Saturday night.

Yes, if the weather is poor, no-one will turn up. If it is good then the amount of drinking will probably mean it isn't family friendly.

For me it's a great idea and is a decent source of income for the club in the off season.
Agree with the sentiments in terms of the family day. I wouldn't take my young un and think they'd have done a better job by not marketing it as such. My favourite England day was at York Races when we beat the Jocks in 96. Again it wouldn't have been deemed a family day, me and my brother left the place drenched head to toe in lager but I still remember it vividly 20 years on. If they get this right they should be able to get the right balance of people who want the day to have a drink mixed with families more or less correct.

Given decent weather, I quite fancy the idea of watching it on the big screen at the amphitheatre. Persuading my mates is another matter.

I hope it's a success and I hope it is attended by a good cross section. Is it the day before when they're showing Star Wars and a couple of other films?

More income for Club Doncaster!
