Oh, come on! You heard "pundits" say it?? Really? If they did, they're talking nonsense - the kind you'd call out immediately, I'm sure, if such an accusation was made against City. Neither Spurs nor the FA nor anyone else has the authority to tell a lowly, cash strapped club to spend what, for them, is a small fortune on their pitch. The following is not from nameless, ill informed "pundits" spouting deliberately sensationalised 4th hand "info". It's straight from the horse's mouth...…….from the chairman of Rochdale himself:

“If we are to make up ground on the teams above us we have to have the best playing surface possible. Anyone who watched our manager Keith Hill’s side will know that we are a football playing team. The pitch before we started re-laying it was as potentially damaging to us as any visiting opposition. In fact this is the second time we have had to relay it in a year. We are looking at the long term, not the Spurs game — no matter how glamourous that might be. Staying in League One is still our No 1 priority."

On train into London nice sunny day so far. Be interesting to see how we do tonight as first time a little bit of pressure been upon us for a result although a long way to go.

Think the premier rule that a club can only play at 2 stadiums in a season is a wierd one and why we playing at Wembley not at another clubs ground

I totally agree with this.

That pitch is clearly not suitable for playing football on today.

It would make far more sense to play at the Emirates, the London Stadium, Twickenham, Stamford Bridge, even MK Dons stadium. But the FA insist it must be at Wembley.

And City are the ones who bare the brunt of it.
 
With the pitch being like it is I can see it suiting Spurs as they will play direct up to Kane so I reckon a draw.

Very annoying though as we'd beat them on a regular pitch.
 
Man that pitch has me fucking worried. Barca beat them easy and we’re currently better than Barca. We should win this.
