I'm actually interested in doing this. Why does Plymouth have to be so far away though

An excellent idea, if it gets the support of Plymouth fans.
But rather different from our Fans United day which, if I recall correctly, coincided with a quiet weekend in domestic league football, because of international matches. Pretty much a full league programme is being played on 24 September - so the opportunity to get vast numbers of supporters from all over the country, like we managed, isn't there.
Let's not hype this up as a recreation of what happened at the Goldstone. If we do, there is a danger that it will be deemed to be a failure - because "only Brighton fans" cared enough to show their support for PAFC.
Hype it up, though, as a show of solidarity from Sussex - in gratitude for what one Plymouth fan suggested back in 1997.

Or they can just do a MK Dons and move the whole damn club!

Don't get me wrong ... I'm saying do it. But don't imagine it will be like Fans United in 1997.

Yes Lord B, we know that. PAFC are running out of time so we are asking fans to support Plymouth instead of their own team for 1 day.
However some clubs will have fans who don't go to every game and will be interested particuarly if they are playing away, some will even have fans who live in that direction (I heard of 1 Wrexham fan who lives in Cornwall for instance) and won't be traveling to their clubs game.
I'm not saying you will get as many as you would have if it had been international break but don't give up on it totally.

Wouldn't Saturday 8 October be better? - no Premier League games, no Championship games, and Plymouth at home to Accrington Stanley.
And more time to get things organised.

Already got an Orient supporting mate interested, majority of the lads on my course support non pl teams so am sure I can get at half a dozen of us down there hopefully!!

This would make a lot more sense, and doing it 2 weeks later won't hurt anybody.

Not sure we can change it now?
