There is a degree of truth to it, you can take visual cues from fixtures/furniture in a stadium which help with your orientation when you're not necessarily able to get your head up and take stock but it's not a huge thing.I dont get this whole familiar stuff. It's a football stadium not a rocket ship. Our opponents will be new there too but we'll be the ones with the fans behind us (much more so than at Wembley). I can't see anything but a massive lift for the players when we move in.
That being said, it's got to be better to get it out of the way sooner rather than later. If we win all the remaining home games at the new stadium it can already be seen, regardless of the strength of the opposition, as something of a fortress by the beginning of the new season.
