the T20 match on Wednesday was marketed as a double header.... twice the cricket for your money
except the women's game started early afternoon when everyone is at work and it finished at 5pm...... a whole hour and a half before the men's match started
I have no idea what the attendance was for either game, but my guess is that the 'double header' will have done absolutely nothing to increase attendance at either match
Surely it shouldn't be beyond the wit of the club to start the Diamonds match at 4pm or 4.30 and the mens match to start immediately after at say 7pm. We have lights, we're heading towards the longest day and there was no school the next day for any kids that went. More people could have wandered down after work to catch the second half of the Diamonds before the main event. No time to go home for your tea first so buy it at the ground while you're enjoying yourself
Unless the start times are dictated to us, which I doubt, then we seem incapable of helping ourselves. Don't schedule these things at times least likely to generate crowds... don't ask people to stand around for an hour and a half twiddling their thumbs..... give them a reason to go... give them a good time and you never know they might come back more often
It seems like a no brainer to me
