[Football] Spurs v Palace new stadium opening not on TV

[Wozza]

In the UK, at least.

Sky Sports is showing Man City v Cardiff that night.

Needless to say, Spuds fans aren't happy!

Haha.. I find that pretty funny.

Poor old Spurs fans, laboring under the delusion that THEIR big day, was actually A big day for football in general.

Spurs should probably delay the opening until they play a big club.



Wow that'll get'um going, this post will be trampled on by the hoards of incoming palace fans, who frequent this establishment..

That's the funniest thing i've read all week. Thanks.

An element of the visiting support have, shall we say, a reputation for trying to make themselves the centre of attention.

Sensible decision to deny them that opportunity.

But which end will their ultras sit in now that's the real question? Now that their first team's stadium is open surely they'll return back to spurs?

I'm sure I read that our game at Spurs has retained it's Sky broadcast rights even tho it has moved to a 7:45 KO on Tuesday 23rd April

Indeed, seems to be the case.

the real fans will be there shirley?

Personally i couldn't give a flying if it is on TV or not. I will be at the game.

I'm not sure saying Spurs fans 'aren't happy' is particularly accurate though. More like a 'bit surprised' although i appreciate social media types prefer a click-bait headline.

Think they wanted the country to notice their long-awaited grand opening.

On that note, we have 176k members (as well as 42.4k STs) and only 7k tickets available to them so a potential 169k will miss out & therefore have no way of seeing the first game at the new stadium (other than moody streams of course).

Sounds like you need to expand your ground. If you started now, how long would it take?

Was thinking of annexing the Amex.

Suits me much better.

Shame. Still, bigger matches just around the corner.

Better start now then.

Agreed.

fair enough. lets be serious though "seeing" the new ground on TV isnt really at all the same thing as being there is it? with cameras maybe panning around stadium for 30sec in 2hr broadcast, what will fans really miss by not being on TV.
