lisa-colette 6,028 Posted October 28, 2018 Plus another league is trying to use Thurs for next season now, so that idea might be gone completely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,636 Posted October 28, 2018 The Swedish Allskvenskan league have always used Thursdays but with only 6 teams in it (and 9 in the top Elitserien) so I gues it gives them another option to allow all 9 top teams to have a fixture every week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For example Somerset have been quoted as saying they were pleased with their good crowd attendances on their 'off night' as it was much easier on the M5 for fans to get there rather than on a Friday I wouldn't think Somerset would want to go back to Fridays with all that M5 traffic, and all the problems on the roads Fridays usually bring Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pirate Rich 40 Posted November 14, 2018 I'm sorry to see Somerset go championship, been some great matches against the Rebels Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RebelRebel 22 Posted November 14, 2018 Gutted to say the least.... I know having Doyley on the books for a year would have been expensive but not so expensive that it would force us back down a division. I personally will, and I'm sure the club will, miss the local derbies against Swindon and Poole. Always a big crowd and a brilliant atmosphere. At the end of the day, if this decision keeps the club afloat then I'm all for it but just a bit disappointed at the minute. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Cheese 2,022 Posted November 14, 2018 Disappointing to see Somerset drop down but if that's what needs to be done for the future of the club.. whatever league they're in you can guarentee the team will be competitive and entertaining. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
