It is one of them ideas, that, in principle is a fantastic idea, but unfortunately I don't thik they would let us, just because it is United.

Well their pitch and stadium is obviously far too valuable, and there is a minimal chance they will e able to make enough money out of it, you have to remember United are no longer a football club, they are a company, and their main objective is to make as much money as is possible.

After your "don't anyone tell me we can't beat AFC Wimbledon" when no one did and now this I think you have been enjoying yourself around the pubs of Weymouth a little to much!

I don't think the BSP would allow it.

Not really a lot of point now, even if we could get it. The attendance won't be that different on a Tuesday whether it's next Tuesday or one in March.

I am very concerned that anyone who does not use the internet will not know there is a game on Tuesday.

There are no posters up for it at the moment.

I think we need to put out a press release or something otherwise we'll have 400 and they'll have 400.

Happy New Year everyone.

I don't recall that game but in the 70's when Blyth had a good run they played a game at St James' and got around 35,000 in. Didn't Blyth play Wrexham that year at some point, and Stoke? Brain Cell attack.

don't some club rugby games get played at twickenham?

utd will never let us play there, as already pointed out they will lose out in the ££££ department so no chance.  same for city.

No chance, i know its only one game but its not worth the risk to the playing surface.

on a side note, have United reserves had any games postponed in the last month? Wonder if they will have moved them to Old trafford.

No utd reserve game has had to be postponed, The next one at moss lane is scheduled for thursday 14th jan 7pm k.o. Then the next 3 thursday after that but why worry its only affect a handfull on here.
PS the posters are done by the Rowley family despite one of them having major surgery still manage to produce them for the Wrexham game and where getting the York ones down on new years day to be put up after the game. No game no poster i'm sure it will be rectified by monday.

I was obviously unaware who did the posters and would never criticise the tireless work the Rowley family do, was just saying that I am worried about the crowd for Tuesday should the game be on.

There is no chance of us using Old Trafford.. They have just been dumped out of the Cup ... Fergie would proabably tell us to F... off now.

Post by: baldrick on January 03, 2010, 03:05:27 PM
United need to get rid of Fergie and send for the special one. Let him build a new team. Scholes, Giggs, Van Der Sar and Neville are nearing retirement. Obertan, Valencia, Brown, Park and O'Shea are not good enough. Ferdinand is the most overrated player in the league. The only young player who looks any good is Gibson.

He does have a bad habit of not playing a decent midfield when they play lesser clubs. I wouldnt exactly say they should get rid of him though.

The same sh*t will happen when they play at the council house next Weds in the Carling cup..

Cant see them winning anything this season ..
