We'd struggle to get 16,000. Then there is the payment to BWFC.
Also, which would be held at the neutral venue, the home fixture (why when we could attract 25k at the DW anyway), or the away fixture where we can guarantee 18,500 ?? Would Stains be happy giving up home advantage year after year? Doubt it.
Not that they would ever consider it, but it would make more commercial sense for the DW to host both derby matches but Stains obtain the lions share of the 'home' gate. Similar to what the Milan clubs do in the San Siro Stadium when it comes to derby day.
