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.
