Yeah was on at 9.00am on the dot and must just have got one of the few that were left. Went to sold literally a minute or two later.

Why open it to all season cards at 9am and then Cityzens at 3pm if there was only 79 tickets left? Surely it should have went to 5000 points or more?
As a side note it doesn't say sold out on the official site yet and the press release does say that the club received an initial allocation, perhaps they are getting more from spurs?
I don't think so , probabilly there were not too many left ... I managed to buy one at 09:00 , only block 118 was shown as availible .
Ach well, means I don't need to be sitting at my laptop at 3pm now. Tv for me.

No, I was saying there ought to be. But I don't think there is. Remember the clasicos back in 2011 between Barcelona and Madrid? The latter didn't cut or water the grass and deliberately created an unplayable pitch so as to upset Barcelona's passing game. Milan did something similar at the San Siro 2 years later, After Which Arsene Wenger issued a complaint to UEFA.
Pitches should be playable. Length of grass, dryness etc should all be standardized. It's 2018. Seeing a pitch like the one at Wembley the other day was odd and disappointing.
The only things that have a standard regarding pitches are the sizes and amount of plastic, only allowed 5% plastic I think.

I thought it was up to the referee to decide if the pitch was playable?
Have you been asleep for the last few months? That's the reason we are playing on the Monday night, The NFL games have been booked for months to be played there.
In fact, that's the whole reason for the thread, as the Spurs ground is not ready.
Either that, or you are a WUM.
No clue what you're talking about. Odd rant.

That's interesting. Do you have a link?
I read that in 2012 or 2013 they started to standardize the sizes. Before that, the ranges were greater. The Camp Nou, for example, was wider during Pep's time there than it was later on.

But pitches are not standard. Max and minimum but not the same.
New grounds have different stipulations, some of the old grounds have small pitches.

The problem as shown on this picture though is that the nfl pitch is only 53 yards wide. So all the management and specialist teams etc are standing on the football pitch for the whole game with all their kit etc. So in wet weather the wings of the pitch get trashed. So no Sterling or Sane for that match maybe.....

Sorry, that is what I meant, max and min sizes. It was the guy on the club tour who said about the 5% plastic.
I was at the NFL last night. Looked OK apart from the middle of the pitch which was a mess.
Only the remaining two matches to trash the rest of the pitch, then.

Hmm....that might kill our width if that's the case.

They better get done for this.
The premier/FA are soft arses they should of told Levy that if they make a date they going to play at there new stadium and it doesn’t happen because the ground isn’t finished spurs be docked 1 point for every game that’s played at Wembley or commit to Wembley at the beginnings of the season. Levy has stringes along the Fa with disingenuous committed dates from the beginning and guess what nothing will happen to them! It’s city who are going to be out of pocket for this not spurs who don’t want to pay up for the unconvince.

Chairman Daniel Levy said: "In light of factors completely outside of our control, contractors missing deadlines and possible future unforeseen issues, we are naturally being cautious.
Yeah, "outside of our control" my arse.
Also what is he on about with that highlighted comment, are they anticipating bits dropping off the new stadium in the first season?
