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

[cibaman]

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.

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

For the semis (we'll beat Spurs), the 2nd leg is away, right?

Anything can happen as we well know

Spurs will be tough. They played well against Dortmund over 2 legs finishing strongly as the matches progressed. Just hope they do a 'Spursey'.

It is, the united tie would be reversed.

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.

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.

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

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.

 

[MillionMilesAway]

Extremely tight as there'll be an extra 20,000 there compared to old WHL...

It's definitely tight.
Yes, there will be hugel ymore, but won't all be going to Seven Sisters. There are plenty of tubes on the Victoria Line nowadays, so it may be okay unless the police do something odd.

We play Spurs away Tuesday 9th.

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
