that's a really strange fixture change, I think its the international break the week before it as we dont play the weekend or midweek before this fixture but we have Viktoria Plzen the game after this on the Wednesday? If they have already moved it once for TV coverage, seems very strange to move it again?

It's to give the new spurs players more time to gel

Do the spuds play any uefa games on the thursday before hand, that could be why?

no it seems to be an international break, we have Plzen the midweek game after we play them and they play on the Thursday in the Europa after they play us, there is nothing before.

Yeah but no news on why the date change.

Now that is farcical, they knew Chelsea would be in CL but decided to take a punt on it anyway. Useless Eejits

FUCKING GET IN! I'm working on the original date. My mate will be gutted when I tell him he's not having my ticket.

He wont be as gutted as us that had booked flights for a match after its "fixed" for the TV on the saturday then to have it moved and now have a day return flight which is wasted . Gotta love how sky consider the fans that actually attend the games. Bloody joke of a decision

Feel sorry for you mate. any chance you could get a reasonably priced flight home later?
I dodged a bullet there as we made a decision with missus to try to get to over on another November weekend so got lucky this time. (please let me know if the Norwich game is in danger to be moved too? haven't seen any reason for it myself tho) the TV companies really don't give a f*** about travelling fans, not about those who take the trains or drive to away games, nor about those who come from abroad

I also have a weekend in November which I'm worried about. Am going to Liverpool-Fulham on Saturday the 9th (with my brother who is a scouse fan), and to Sunderland-City on Sunday the 10th. Flights and hotels are already booked - what are the odds of everything actually going to plan?

Oh it is appalling behaviour.
