‘We thought Monday night football was in the past’

From the Guardian:
Manchester United fans who walked away from the Premiership to form their own club could have been forgiven for thinking that Monday Night Football was a thing of the past. Not so. For this Monday, FC United played Cheadle Town … in Tameside.
Let me explain. Apart from the first league game away at Leek, every other opponent has had to find alternative locations to host FC’s followers, with the majority of grounds in the North West Counties league unable to cope with the increased capacity required. The game against Ashton Town was one such example, having to be switched from their home near Wigan, to Northwich in Cheshire.
