Yup, winter is early again this year. The yellow ball is back for the Reading game - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2223564/Premier-League-winter-ball-unveiled.html Not sure about 'spot the ball', just hope it is consistent. I know it's the same for both sides but small things can make a difference and, unlike in previous seasons, the team won't have had a chance to experience it 'for real' prior to Saturday. [I think some of the European lot did this week.]
