Quote: Graham Richards "Probably the best stadium in Britain after Wembley (I inc Millenium in that before anyone asks). If we are to use it maybe for a Magic weekend but not the CC Semis. It is only on the end of the train line for Yorkshire clubs and London. We have the final in London a month later so would be asking far too much for fans. The locals won't be that interested even with tickets at a fiver. 10000 in there would be lost imo.
By all means have a double header in Yorkshire / Lancashire but not in London'"
Probably go with this.
Perhaps re worse this around:
Magic Weekend at Arsenal (is that allowed since we can't alliterate the M like Millennium/Murrayfield/Manchester Magic?!)
CC Semi Final Double Header at Man City.
Best of both worlds then. I think asking clubs' fans to go to London twice in such a short space if time is what would kill off the idea. A double header though would be great.
