Quote: WormInHand "We won't have fancied the Sunday giving us a 4 day turnaround to Huddersfield on the Thursday. Friday would've been our choice, I'm sure. That the PL have a 24hr rule regarding ground use before soccer matches is a myth, therefore it will be Allam, in his capacity as owner of the SMC that makes the decision as to how long is necessary to prepare a pitch for a PL match, and he that has vetoed Friday night.
On the plus side, Thursday gives us 6 days following our match this Friday against Salford but only give Wire 4 days after [itheir[/i trip to Hudds this Sunday. Far from ideal for the fans, though, and yes, the solution which favours only City out of the 3 interested clubs. Is it any real disadvantage to them us playing the night before, anyway, or is it all in Allam's fevered imagination?'"
What's it got to do with them?
