Think he means the London Stadium, but I feel his pain regardless <laugh>

Our fixture against West Ham has been moved to Jan 4th due to "safety concerns". Scheduling it for New year's eve was a ridiculous decision to start with.

In a funny way, the move actually helps us as we will be the only team (other than WHU) with a full week off over the xmas period between Soton on boxing day and Swansea on the 2nd. I'd rather have a week off then 2 games in 48 hours rather than 5 days.

The only tricky bit will be when we draw City away in the FA Cup, which iirc starts on Jan 6/7th for us. So our festive period looks as follows:

Sat 23rd Dec: Burnley (A)
Tues 26th Dec: Soton (H)
Tues 2nd Jan: Swansea (A)
Thurs 4th Jan: Spam (H)
Mon 6/7th Jan: FA Cup 3rd round (TBC)
Sat 13th Jan: Everton (H)

I don't really understand why it couldn't have been played on Sat Dec 30th.

Now just watch us get drawn at home to WHU in the FAC on the 6/7th !

In the rehearsal we got Huddersfield at Home. Others included a Manchester derby and West Ham v Millwall. Arsenal were at home to Southampton [3rd XI], natch.
 
AFC Wimbledon at Wembley. Not bad at all.

I'll be there as I know a few people invovled with 'The Dons'.

Liverpool v Everton and Brighton v Palace stand out.

Millwall v Barnsley has history..........not in a good way.
 
Decent draw.
Arsenal and Chelsea have tricky ties.
The stand out one is obviously the Merseyside derby but quite a few PL teams with difficult away games against solid Championship opposition.
 
Manchester United v Derby will NOT be televised, this will be the first time since 2005 that a United FAC game has not been televised. That is 58 consecutive games they have been shown. Incredible stat and shows the love in the media have with them.
