I remember several years ago the England under 16's playing at Nene Park. I don't know why they don't do it anymore. Im guessing that RDFC recieved money from the FA for useage of the stadium.
So, the FA are fond of the stadium, so why don't the lesser England teams (U16's 18's etc England's women, England C's etc) play there anymore?
If sombody could persuade the FA to allow the leser England teams to play at Nene Park once more i'm sure there is alot of money to be made from renting out the stadium. Also there is potentially more money when you bare in mind RDFC would also recieve a share of the ticket sales and of course moeney from Burgers and drinks etc.

Re: Fundraising Idea
England Schoolboys played Portugal at Nene Park two years ago, and we also had the England Women's U18s (I think) not that many years ago, I'm sure since we've been back in the Conference. I guess there are probably dozens of clubs who want these games, and I assume the FA do their best to accomodate them all.
