how long before CFC start kicking up on fixing the venue for our game with them? I can't imagine they'd be anything other than difficult, given the bad blood between the Clubs at every level.

Spose the dynamics aren't the same as with City, where the date was mobile, and what with their fans being from another universe.
Read in the paper that the televised matches will be announced later next week. I’m sure they will want to know also.

Are those the advertising hoardings? Surely we're getting close to a test event announcement.

The sun today will give you a good idea of what the shadows will look like in direct sun. Not sure how I feel about the glass structure shadow, I guess it was inevitable.

I believe that the human eye is much better than most cameras at seeing things where there is a large contrast between the bright and dim areas (see this link, for example, https://photo.stackexchange.com/que...-human-eye-compare-to-that-of-digital-cameras).

So I would expect that the shadows won't matter very much for the players on the pitch or spectators in the stands. It might be annoying on television though, I suppose.

Isn't this fun? Isn't fun the best thing to have?

The more I look at the feeds on the site, the more I can't help but think that the view from outside the South, looking past the new shop, is going to be a lot more iconic than the main entrance. That massive, dominating inverse slope effect, the beautiful interior with three levels topped off with the bar, while the main front appears to be mostly office space?

Doesn't really matter, but if you're walking along the high road I can't help but think that will be the view that'll give us the match day goosebumps.

Apparently we have to let them know before this weekend

I thought it was already down as a 5.30pm KO for TV?
Chelsea is, but if we miss that and make e.g. Burnley the first game they'll want to televise that, and they're meant to announce the fixtures by Friday. That is flexible somewhat but in effect we'll be under pressure to make a call on Chelsea this week.

I'd guess as much as it'd give them pursed lips, they'd be reasonable enough to realise they may be in the same predicament in a couple of years so a little give and take may go a long way. (I'm prepared to be proven wrong and for them to be utter dipshits about it though)

I'd imagine the dibble would need more advanced notice than anyone else.

I hope they show the game on Sky but I also hope they stick a GoPro on Lloris head so we can watch him walk out of the tunnel for the first time in the new stadium

Chirpy cam would be cool. We could get Attenborough to do some commentary.
