One of the reasons I like the Friday night games is because I remember the crowds back in the day at Mundy 4 when the Wolves would play. In the summer, we used to be able to draw good crowds for Saturday night PCSL women's games. There's no reason it can't be done here as well.
Some people might wonder what the big deal is. But this is the best division in Canada's largest women's soccer league. It should be promoted. For one, getting young players out to watch should attract them to the senior level when they graduate. Second, more exposure might open doors to sponsors and so on (which can't be underestimated in this day and age). And finally, I think most players enjoy playing in front of lots of spectators.
Personally, I'm not a big fan of Sunday games at any time because it conflicts with the youth schedules, but it does allow for the double-headers you guys have alluded to, which is definitely a great idea.
Fat bastard, the girls looked good against UBC. It looks like you've added some pace this year which was something you were lacking a little bit last year and that was without any of your college/university players. Well done.
As for Friday/Saturday games, the ONLY reason we did them and will continue to do so is so we are able to give youth players the opportunity to play in the league. We have two teams this year who we will be working with and some of the players will be coming up for the Selects team throughout the season while others will come out for the Premier teams. As mentioned, Sunday games don't work for this reason. Having said that, we do understand that in some cases, field availability is the main issue so there aren't any choices in some cases.
