Spurs’ new stadium

[Bill]

Ref what you say about Xmas is backed up mate by previous away over the festive period. Swansea and Palace with farcical times and the date of the game.

exactly. Swansea away was new years day with a noon kick off. don't tell me that wasn't planned to weaken our resolve, as players or fans.

@Bill trying to think of a local away. Yes we played Liverpool a couple of years back which was moved to a 1730 NYE kick off with no public transport home

another disgrace. all plans for New years eve gone at the whim of the corrupt premier league. i'd say why not be the home game but that still causes the same problem for our visitors. totally corrupt.

We had the likes of Soton and Ipswich away 8pm Monday 18 years ago, Norwich too not long after, nothing to do with trying to stop is winning the league.

City agreed to this fixture move so no wonder the support isn't great, the club do not deserve it.

I reckon so. 3000 tickets, its on telly and NO TRAIN BACK.
Cardiff went to Citizens as well, I think, and that wasn't televised.

Feels like this year could be a good opportunity to get to a few away games.

Train from Euston to Manchester at 23:00. Would mean legging it up Olympic Way but can just be done.

1/4 of the way into the 1st of 3 NFL weekends and they are talking about the state of the pitch. It's been rained on all day, the middle looks bare and it is turning up.

In 3 weeks' time it's going to be absolutely fucked.

Don’t be silly
The poster above reckons a sprinkle of water and it’ll be fine

No idea personally but this article from a few years back suggests NFL games don't do a pristine football pitch any favours and Wembley is far from pristine now cos of the boxing so will only make it worse

Its had nearly an inch of rain on it today as well, and they're playing on it now.
