I was going to reply earlier but not too easy on my phone and since there is no game to discuss I hope it isn't too off topic but yes been in them all and sometimes on the same night :D .

The Royal Oak was usually the pub of choice as I could walk out my gran's front door and walk 50 yards to it but I've also had many a lockin in the Forts Arms. I also remember the Albion and Sparth Manor I think it was as well as the others you mentioned. All this was more than a quarter of a century ago which shows How old I am.

I never seemed to make it as far as the Hare and hounds for some reason.

Today both Burnley and Blackburn were away, I know Blackburn was pp but the point I was asking is would it not have been possible with the early call off could we have not switched to one their grounds, It would not been that inconvenient for the fans, I am sure there is a FA rule that would be against it. Assuming the host would be agreeable to us playing on their pitch. I think this point is extremely relevant given the blasting coley got for suggesting Carlisle should not be able to switch grounds. It has been an unprecedented level of rainfall, Will the FA help with grants to improve drainage.

If it only takes a few hours to put on a league football game then somebody somewhere is getting it all wrong ;)

If we had preliminary agreements in place with the host club, police.etc we could simply produce our own tickets or pay on the door. It ain't rocket science. the away supporters could be diverted to either ground, it is not that far!! If the will was there it can be done.
 
I'm sure if it was as simple as you seem to think it would have already been looked into, the club must be suffering with no income due to the postponed games & I doubt any other club, even if it were logistically possible would allow us to use their facilities for free.
I know we're all desperate to get games played at the Crown but I don't think switching grounds is the answer - I wish I knew what was.

The other club would need to get their staff in at short notice, all tickets (including season tickets) would need to be purchased or swapped on the day. There isn't 'pay on door' capability at a lot of clubs with the electronic entry systems. After the other club is paid, ticket staff, stewards, the local police and there could be a loss made, as a lot of fans won't bother going.

Then you have problems with fans missing their train back etc depending on where it is located.
