I imagine this is what they'll be looking to do if there's any doubt that we'll be ready in time for the City match. It's not necessarily that simple or easy though:
- Firstly, City would have to agree to it. The return leg is the 35th match of 38 of the season, so potentially a critical point. If City think they'd be disadvantaged from it, they could very well say no - and they'd have every right to do so
- Secondly, safety groups in both London and Manchester would have to agree to it. Flipping the fixture would see both City and United playing at home on the same weekend, and then in April it'd see us and Woolwich both at home on the same weekend. Both situations are always directly avoided in the League's fixture scheduling for policing reasons. In the first case, United are at home on Sat 27th Oct and our match at City would be Sun 28th, so that shouldn't present a problem really. In April though, it could be more tricky. We'd have to get Sky/BT to agree way way in advance to put ours and Woolwich's matches on different days, most likely Saturday 20th/Sunday 21st April. Us v City is by far the biggest match of that round, so Sky would no doubt want to put it in the precious Sunday 4 pm slot (although they wouldn't want to decide that until a few weeks beforehand normally). However, the Europa League semi-final is Thursday 18th April, which complicates things even more - there's a (slim) chance that either Woolwich or even we could end up in that match, which would bump any match scheduled for the Saturday back to the Sunday. Potentially then colliding again with the other North London home match!
Timing is dreadful... I fear for the accumulative window/stadium combo backlash.
'Afternoon' btw!
Just as a PR 'soothener', maybe the club could throw the doors open for free for the test events....?
They're somewhat of a necessity for the long term operation for the venue and aren't 'turnstile dependent'... A couple of nice fan days to say thanks for the 12 months of Wembley. It needn't even have an apologetic narrative.
Think clubs generally could do more things like this anyway considering how rich every other cunt in the game is getting anyway.

I hope we'll be alright. We just have to tough it out a little and hope all isn't as ropey as it seems. Once we are in the new build we are in it and we can focus purely on the future. I'm really hoping we get news of an Eriksen contract soon. It'll be a huge boost knowing we get to secure our quality for a while if we do
Any fans that use those fucking clappers (I'm looking at you FFC, HTFC and LCFC) should have them inserted somewhere dark and smelly. Dry.
Taking spursy to a whole new level.
Went too soon there...
