Can't believe we would give up the advantage of having the second leg at home. This would be a huge mistake and should definitely not be done.

WTF?? I've just booked transport and accommodation, what's your source for this?

Shouldn't be in 'off topic', but there you go!

Official club site.
 
Following on from today's UEFA Cup draw, the Club wish to make fans aware of a possible change to the proposed fixture dates for the UEFA Cup tie against FC Copenhagen.

Difficulties have arisen in confirming the fixture for two significant reasons. Firstly, the pitch at FC Copenhagen's Parken Stadium is being re-laid on Monday 16th February due to a previously booked event at the ground which cannot be moved. This means that only the second of the two away leg dates (Thursday 19th February) would be suitable for competitive football.

In addition to this, City's fixture at Anfield on Saturday 21st February, only two days after the proposed away UEFA leg, cannot move to the Sunday because Liverpool will travel to Spain for their UEFA Champions League fixture with Real Madrid, due to take place on Tuesday 24th February. There are no other suitable dates in terms of rescheduling this particular fixture.

Discussions are ongoing between FC Copenhagen and Manchester City FC, with consideration being given to switching the order of the away and home legs.

The Club strongly advises fans not to make any travel arrangements until dates and venues are confirmed. An announcement, finalising details for these UEFA Cup fixtures is expected to be made on Monday.
 
I'm pretty sure UEFA can not make us play at home first leg; but i fear City may accept it.
 
It's absolutely shocking to even consider it...surely Copenhagen knew they had a chance of being in the UEFA cup at this stage and so should have said no to the concert. I feel for blues who have already booked flights.
