Wemberlee, Wemberlee, We're the famous Carlisle United and we won at Wemberlee:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_13199.jpg |

I'd personally rather they kept the derby games at the Magic Weekend. Being brutally honest, there's not one of those fixtures apart from ours that would justify me spending that much money to go up there.

the league structure is different now, and a 3rd derby game would be ok, it would certainly add more interest than some of the fixtures |

The deal would also include these matches NOT been shown on Sky TV and the sponsor getting there exposure through the radio campaign and complete at ground advertising for each fixture (I would hope Sky would see the long term benefit to them in doing so). The idea being that if fans want to see the game they have to make the trip to force the best possible crowd and of course get some locals out to the game. Also, because there is no TV coverage, fixtures could be timed based on location to allow fans to get there and back in the day if they wanted. So Saturday and Sunday afternoon fixtures in general.'"
Or still show them in full on Sky, but do like they do in Australia .... Show them on 'delayed telecast'. On other words, live full match coverage, but shown two or even three hours later than the actual game kicked off.
In addition, given the amount the club makes on travel (they must do, considering how much the independants charge at a break even level to go to away games for far less than the club does), then they could easily throw on some free coaches or maybe even the odd charter-train to get the fans down to those matches. |

Good idea, did not think of that, that would be a good compromise position with Sky. The travel idea is also very good but would probably leave that up to the individual clubs to decide on. |

[quote:1pqtnbtj]Every player in our squad could probably earn more money with another club. But they prefer to sacrifice a few extra quid in their back pocket to share special memories. And playing at a place like Old Trafford on a night like this makes it all worthwhile.[/quote:1pqtnbtj]

| Quote: EmmaMur01 "Agreed, but can you see any match there that would persuade a fan to part with hard earned cash in a recession, to go to Murrayfield if they had not already planned to?'" What was it about a fixturte against Cataln that persuaded you to part with your cash last year or an umpteenth fixture against the Bulls the year before?
Novelty worn off has it? |

Well I think so, but I would say that! 
I am almost certain that I would go watch Leeds v Saints (or Wakey for that matter) in Bristol and I am also fairly sure I will not go to Edinburgh and watch it on Sky. Also, as this would be a long term plan, it would be good to go to other venues each year and as G1 said, the novelty might not wear off if you went to a different city each year. |

Not at all. I booked the hotel for next year the weekend we got back this year actually.
They are just boring matches. Can you see a neutral wanting to go to them? |
