A lot of different permutations for this one... Palace getting through means their game at spurs on March 16 is postponed, which thus makes our game on April 6 Spurs' next home game, and potentially their first game at the new White Hart Lane. However April 6 is FA Cup semi final weekend, so if we're in it, that game will be postponed. But even if we're out of the cup, if Spurs haven't moved to their new ground by then the game will be automatically postponed as Wembley needed for the cup semis..

We might now have to find dates for rearranged Chelsea, Cardiff and Spurs games, with two of those sides going well in Europe....

We need to start organising these fixtures quickly. It won't be easy to squeeze in 3 additional mid week fixtures and possibly more if we make it to the final

It's a joke the Chelsea game hasn't been rearranged as there are limited midweek opportunities and now we have another game to reorganize. Would be interesting to know who is holding up the issue?

Spurs v Albion on the Saturday morning, say 9am. Man United v Man City wheeled out at 2pm with a dessert of Albion v Palace at 5.34pm. Sorted. There won't be a dry eye in the house after all that takes place. Getting quite emosh thinking about it, like! :cry:

Agree with this. Things have only got more tricky since, this one should have been sorted out much earlier. I'm sure there are problems, possible other matches to consider, FA Cup, Europa League progress etc, but I can't believe A date that was safe couldn't have been slotted in by now.

In my opinion, the Prem should not allow Spurs to play at WHL this season.

Get the feeling Spurs might take that decision out of their hands. Be amazed if they played there this season.

There should be another midweek premier league round earlier on in season and leave FA Cup 5th round weekend free. It would save the hassle of changing that fixture for over half of PL teams.

Cardiff can be moved forward to Tuesday 12th.
Chelsea April 3rd.
Spurs can't be dealt with until the situation is clear.

April 3rd will either be Cardiff (H) or Chelsea (A). They play each other the Sunday before so will have to be Wednesday night.

Not sure we would be keen playing a game midweek ahead of a cup semi final.

Also don't want anything on 3rd April as Larkin Poe are playing the Concorde

If we lose to Millwall, and Man City beat Swansea, and the Spurs game needs a free Wembley...

... then perhaps we could play Cardiff on Saturday 6th April ? ???

The Tottenham tickets are scheduled to go on sale from Monday (25th) what's the betting we have another Chelsea,.

The club can't confirm when or where the game will be played but will put tickets on sale and then give a refund when we either beat Millwall or Spurs confirm their new ground is not ready and they can't use Wembley that weekend

The on-sale date to buy tickets for Brighton & Hove Albion’s Premier League visit to Tottenham Hotspur is being postponed, due to the club’s continued involvement in the Emirates FA Cup.

If the Seagulls are able to progress past Millwall in the quarter-finals of the competition, the semi-final date will fall on the same weekend as Albion’s scheduled game against Spurs [Saturday 6th April]

However, if Chris Hughton’s side are unable to reach the semi-finals, tickets for the Premier League visit to north London will go on sale in the week beginning Monday 18th March.

If Albion do reach the semi-finals and the Premier League fixture does move, the on-sale date will be confirmed once the rearranged fixture date is decided.

I dont know why anyone would risk that when you can by them freely in the home end.
