Are the new owners Man Utd fans by any chance?

There was some talk of a family day - is that why (although don't know why it should matter)?

Sunday 1st March

Thats my guess.

Let's break that one down ...

So this is about the potential 40 or 50 Swinton supporters????

If they happen to support Man Utd as well, they probably aren't coming anyway!

It's bizarre!!!!

Waits for the long list of amended fixtures that day - I don't think so!

Morning mate. If someone explains that it is so people can physically get from our game to the Leeds game I might take that as a valid reason. Otherwise I don't get it.

The game you refer to above is probably a 2pm kick-off for that very reason with it being in Leeds (it would hardly, to be fair, be about crowd congestion ).

Could it be so we all get there in time to buy tickets as the kick is really 3pm?

Or

As it is 1pm then i dare say we need to get to the ground for about 10am to be on safe side of not missing kick off...

If Swinton fans want to watch the Man U match i suggest bringing a portable TV that way when still queueing you won't miss any of the Man U game...

Finally when do we buy White T-shirts and write 'Coming Soon' on them similar to what Soccer am did - at least that way we are all wearing matching kits as fans
