Barnsley game?

[3gP]

Would moving it to Saturday 29th January be better, now that both teams are out of the FA Cup?
Thoughts please

Too late now, and no good reason (although I agree it'd be better) e.g. weather to actually move it again. I wonder, could we get Derby pencilled in for then?

Doubt it, Barnsley play Watford on 28th.

And it's race day.  Race day and a derby on the same day - madness.

Which one will a real supporter go to I wonder ? I don't think it matters, no one would choose racing over a derby game with the Dingles would they ?

Me or you wouldn't, average Joe who sees £12 at the races or £23 at the Keepmoat - well.  It aint about getting the loyal fan in but getting those in who aren't so loyal, if we're to keep growing that has to be the focus.

I know A. but the club have stopped chasing 'average Joe' judging by their recent efforts.
However, just one point, although it costs less to go to the Races........'Average Joe' still needs money to gamble and if he hasn't got enough to go to the Rovers ; he sure as hell won't have enough for the Races!

Thanks for replies. I hadn't realised Barnsley are at Millwall in a re-arranged game on the Friday night and Races!
End of story, thanks, i'll get planning a free Saturday!
