That's sort of my point. You frequently hear of it, but it may well be that there are many bids that are turned down that aren't reported on. That would, in fact, be my assumption, that far more bids skim under the press' radar than those reported on. I also don't really know if there's a...
I'm assuming Elliot Hasler is the young man in question. Has written, cast, shot, edited and directed it by the look of the credits. Very impressive for a guy his age.
EDIT: Oh, and he stars in it too! Judging by the trailer I'd guess he's in a modern part of the film, retracing his ancestor's...

Believe the club confirmed that any game can now be a beamback due to new fibre network between the Football League grounds. Just requires consent of both clubs.
A404 now can't be selected as far as I can see. Didn't expect them to go quite this quickly, was more worried about coach which I'd booked and will have to cancel.
