CL QF Draw - City V Spurs ===== SF V Ajax (If we get there)

My brother lives near WHL and walks past it every day. Spoke to him yesterday and he was saying stadium looks impressive but the infrastructure such as the roads, means of accessing the ground from station etc are no where near ready for thousands of people.

Don’t think that’s right. This one’s been changed because City finished higher in last season premier league. That will still be true if the rags were to knock out Barcelona and so they’d play a home first, once again.

No, that's not true. The Utd game is switched regardless because we finished higher last season. So in the quarters their game is switched and in the semis (if we both progress) their game is switched again meaning we are at home first in the semi whatever the outcome of the quarters.

Isn't it more of an advantage to play the second leg away, given the away goals rule? If we drew 0-0 at Spurs and 2-2 at home they'd go through just because the rags can't play a home game the day after us. Sounds a bit shit to me. Would prefer the home leg first to be honest, win about 3-0 then relax away.

I'd rather we know what we need to get through in 90 mins and have the advantage of being home to do it.

If they get through its their game reversed not ours, so if we get through we're at home first regardless.

This is how it came out

Spurs / City v Ajax / Juv

United / Barca v Liverpool / Porto

So our fixture is reversed as I understand it or might be wrong
 
Good draw, happy to avoid City until a possible Final

Moderately happy with that. Dippers may have got an easy quarter final but they're in the worst half of the draw for them. We should beat spurs.

Have they held the test events yet? If they haven't surely they cannot commit to playing the QF there?

It is, the united tie would be reversed.

Of course you’re both right. I’d been under the misapprehension that ‘switched’ meant City could choose! (-:

White Hart Lane Station is on the London Overground.

It is, but as others have said, they'll be thousands there and trains are probably less common than tubes. It also does not take you to a helpful station in the centre - you'd need to change.

I strongl suggest that Seven Sisters and tube direct to Euston is best - I live about a mile from WHL.

I asked him that and he wasn't sure but says there are still a lot of contractors vans etc all over the place. His opinion is it wont be ready until next season going by what he sees.

I'm not sure what your point is, we'd both be home first, therefore united fixture is reversed, its academic anyway, can't see them getting past Barca anyway.
 
So, we play Spurs twice in 3 or 4 days at home.
The first time in the Champions League, the second time in the Premier League
