Moderators Zico Posted August 11, 2011 Moderators Share Posted August 11, 2011 word is (on twitter) that spurs is the only game off, all others to go ahead, yay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Zico Posted August 11, 2011 Moderators Share Posted August 11, 2011 official word is spurs was called off "due to safety concerns relating to infrastructure of the High Road and access to the stadium caused by last Saturday's riots." so not for fear of rioting but the aftermatch and damage caused so fully expect our game to go ahead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules_darby Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I reckon our game will go ahead, but I do think it'd be better for it to be called off for the following reasons 1) Newly promoted team @ home syndrome - play them in a couple of months and reality may have set in 2) OC's gets longer to make signings before our first game and/or bed them in 3) I can't go on Saturday nor watch / listen to it anywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweep Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 1) Newly promoted team @ home syndrome - play them in a couple of months and reality may have set in Is there really such a thing? - somebody (probably Diddles) must have access to these stats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules_darby Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Is there really such a thing? - somebody (probably Diddles) must have access to these stats Of course there is such a thing: Remember Leicester away?? Increased confidence, the fans and players are up for it - they've had no spankings yet and are fearless Doesn't mean it's consistent and helps every team....of course not, as that depends on how the players respond and the opposition, but it's still something that is there now and not in say January I'm not saying we'll lose, but I'd say we'd have more chance at Loftus Road further into the season all things considered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Zico Posted August 11, 2011 Moderators Share Posted August 11, 2011 Is there really such a thing? - somebody (probably Diddles) must have access to these stats sort of, I imagine it's related in some way to 2nd season syndrome, which does sort of exist (as in there are cases of it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arrested development Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I reckon our game will go ahead, but I do think it'd be better for it to be called off for the following reasons 1) Newly promoted team @ home syndrome - play them in a couple of months and reality may have set in 2) OC's gets longer to make signings before our first game and/or bed them in 3) I can't go on Saturday nor watch / listen to it anywhere I think it would be better for us to play this game, given our run of fixtures after. We are capable of winning, but a point would be sufficient to set us up for that tough run. Otherwise there is a possibility we could have no points until the norwich game.

We are capable of winning, but a point would be sufficient to set us up for that tough run. Otherwise there is a possibility we could have no points until the norwich game. It's a fair point and one I've considered But since I believe we'd still be more likely to lose this game now than in a couple of months time I still disagree Imagine how bad it could be if we do lose this and then are still pointless until Norwich! It'll be on anyway so let's just hope we rise to the challenge! You never know, they may buckle under the pressure....(hope rather than expectation) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marple whites Posted August 11, 2011 Author Share Posted August 11, 2011 Scudamore confirdent the other 9 premier league games will go ahead. Apparently, Tottenham is still a crime scene and not all investigations have been completed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enzo gambaro Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Is there really such a thing? Only 8 newly promoted opening day winners in the last ten seasons, including Charlton, who beat fellow new boys Man City in 2000/01. 19 have been beaten, while 6 have drawn (all three drew in 04/05, including Norwich and Palace who faced each other). We're two from two against new teams in the same period having seen off Leicester and Stoke. QPR have failed to win in their three previous opening day fixtures as a newly promoted club.

glennboltw Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 David Cameron has just mentioned the premier league matches on Saturday. Confirming that the Spurs game is off and he expects the rest of the other Premier League games will go ahead BUT WITH AN EARLIER KICK OFF IF THAT HAS BEEN AGREED!

Gumbo Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Decision to be made at 6pm according to SSN Blackpool had a great win on their first premier league game last season. The season before Burnley won their first home game in the premier league against United (although not first game of season) We got smashed in our last visit to QPR first game of the season (against Fulham) And worse news, the springbok is home fans only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
