    Why not play it at a non-league ground in Kent? Unless they're expecting a huge crowd?

    i think in this situation like with that charade in the week against watford for the senior spurs side they should just swap the fixture around if you cant host it then play it at the oppositions ground.

    Agreed. It should be played at White Hart Lane :smile:

    U21 teams in the Football League Trophy dont play any home games in the Group Stages

    Technically this is Gillingham and not Spurs asking for the game to be moved

    All that extra income will help the staff reach their target this season and so earn their bonuses.

    It's because they're replacing their pitch. Weird timing to do it in October, what were they doing all summer? They want to reschedule a league match against Blackpool too

    Probably because the quality of pitch at the Valley is aeons better, thus helping with player safety and that sort of thing.

    They needed a big boy stadium to play in.

    As long as they pay and don't shit all over the place I'm ok with it.

    If nothing else this will be a good quiz question if some unknown Spurs youngster makes his debut and goes on to become a big star

    Let them play on sand. The FA were fine with it when Chelsea stitched us up with their shitty pitch replacement antics.

    I hope my seat will be taken away after this match, burnt, and replaced with a brand new one. However, will most likely be stolen by those lot.

    Yes, we can lock them in for our next home game.

    How many complaints will be lodged to Charlton about damaged caravans due to the pot holes in the car park??
