Forget watching those teams who have money to burn and support the team that needs your cash the most and support your local community.

I would like to know what Arsenal or Barcelona have donated to our local community!!!!!!!

I agree with you totally, but the fair-weather brigade won't be at NP with us will they, thats why last Tuesday's match was so poorly attended - Chelsea vs Man U last week, Barca vs Arsenal this week :( !!

I don't know what the club can do about this other than try to change the night we play so we don't have to compete with this kind of thing. Its a sad reality of life, but tomorrow's attendance will be hammered by this.

Because the Premier clubs, EUFA and TV companies are all so short of cash they now spread the Chumpions League matches over three weeks so every game can be televised.

These clubs and Michelle Pratini dont give a damn about anything lower than the Premier League.

It is not just non league that suffers but The Football League clubs also as there is a full programme of games on tomorrow night. There just is not a free night now, we even have the pathetic Europa League on Thursday evenings

The only redeeming factor is that at least Spurs are on Wednesday on proper TV.

If I'm there I'll be as shocked as the next man. It won't be ebcause I watch other teams, it'll be because my boss is a prize xxxx and will make sure I'm as far away as possible.

We won't be there tomorrow night :( Rather stupidly, I committed to something at work weeks ago and I can't back out of it now - just as well really as I don't have the money spare right now (but that's another story ;) )

I'm pretty sure that since we won't be there, we'll be missing a stunning performance and lots of goals 8-)

I'll be honest, I'm not one of these fans that has a huge ego and brags about how great a fan they are.

I will be watching Barca vs Arsenal tomorrow night after being overcharged £10 in a week, so cannot afford to come tomorrow, although I'll be honest although I would come to Diamonds if possible, I think I'd rather watch Arsenal Barca for entertainment :lol:

Just a shame the local takeaway don't do Diamond Burgers.

No big ego at work OD2, far from it I assure you, I'm just sad that that we can't seem to compete with the TV matches these days.
