[Albion] Brighton or Palace At Spurs' New Digs

[Juan Albion]

Either one may be the first opponents for Spurs at their new ground. It will only be us if we lose to Millwall.

But does mean we will be playing at the new stadium at some point, and there's only one way to get to Wembley this season

Do we get a prize if the first opponents v Spurs at their new stadium?

Do we get a prize if the first opponents v Spurs at their new stadium?

The amount of posters getting moist about even the possibility, I assume we do.

 

[Juan Albion]

I must admit I did wonder about having Palace as their first opponents. Way to taint a brand new place!

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

Do we have a feeder club relationship with Spurs? There seem to be an inordinate number of our JCL who were formerly their plastic fans.

Tottenham: New stadium

From BBC Sport.

Tottenham will play the first competitive fixture at their new stadium in the first week of April.

Spurs were scheduled to move to the new White Hart Lane stadium in September but construction has been delayed.

Who their first opponents are hinges on Brighton's FA Cup campaign.

If Brighton beat Millwall in the FA Cup on 17 March, Crystal Palace will be Spurs' visitors on 3 April but if the Seagulls are knocked out, they will be the opposition on 6 or 7 April.

Palace can have that honour if they want...

 

[Me and my Monkey]

Better it’s Palace I think. It would be a shame to go there and spoil their party.

 

[TheJasperCo]

I hope we beat Millwall.

 

[Deadly Danson]

And if we beat Millwall then the Spurs game will be on Tue 23rd or Weds 24th April.

That makes no sense at all. Palace’s game is before ours whatever the outcome of the Millwall game according to that.


Edit: Just read the article. Doesn’t really make sense to me. Why can’t they just play Palace on 3rd regardless?


Whatever, I still don’t think they should be allowed to use it for so few games at the end of the season.

I like the cockerel on the stand. We should get a Seagull!

I don't understand why people have an issue with it. If anything, it's worse for Spurs than any of the teams visiting. They've got to adjust to life in their new home.

We have real ones perching on the arches. Sometimes as many as ten.
