the reality of the .org.uk market

[quote=theonemanyuri;298896] but just from scanning the pitchside boards at various football grounds this past couple of seasons there are a fair few .org.uk's visible.

Please don't - I remember letting 'westham.org.uk' drop without a second glance, very news-worthy today.

Lol not so much the teams themselves but companies advertising, and we are talking league 2 up to championship so smaller companies usually.

But you did let a pretty tidy name drop there I would say! Not meaning to rub it in..

westham_org_uk wouldn't be worth a penny though, surely they'd just have DRS'd you for it?

I saw croydonathletic on DL, again amazed anyone would pre-bid it as its an easy DRS for the club to win if they wanted it.

Why? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Ham

Ah yes good point. Instantly thought of the club and forgot its a place as well. Actually about 3 miles from here

As Edwin said West Ham is nice geo name, no FC or anything to associate it with football. Croydon Athletic you could quite possibly be right about though. I'm amazed anyone would bid on Croydon Athletic, not because of DRS threat but because they are sh*t

I caught doverathletic.co.uk few weeks back, and donated it to the club as there pretty local to me.

that's a nice gesture. Did they let it expire or was it owned elsewhere?
