***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v Monaco***

I think it's also good for PR / fan relations. How many fans' bonds with the club will be strengthened by being able to attend a huge European night, plus young ones who will be talking for years about their first match at Wembley. There are obvious short-term gains by having a full stadium on TV, for the players, etc., but also a long term benefit of cementing loyalty and providing an experience, regardless of ticket prices. It also tests the market for filling a larger WHL.

Plus, I'm sure there will be plenty of income from merch sales on the night.

Who cares what the tickets cost anyway? Fans are fans. If a father can take his family of four to a match because the tickets are reasonably priced, whereas they wouldn't go if tickets cost five times more, why do "bitter fans of other sides" have an issue with that?

It's pure and simple jealousy
 
Wow, so we have it really good in the States. Both PL and CL/EL are free with a basic cable subscription. I wonder though how long that will last.

So this game tomorrow..not televised games, but Lamela & his contact issues..what's going to happen?

I'm massively excited about watching us play. Will be the first time that I've watched us play CL Football live. The first time that I've been at the new Wembley. The first time that I've seen us live this season. The first time that I've seen us play an evening fixture in some time! So a lot to look forward to...should be an excellent night!

I believe he will sign very very shortly, if he hasn't already. Kane too. I would not be concerned at all.

That last part - it's simply too expensive now. £70-80 a month for me for PL and CL (don't know if LC or FA cup is included in that either), which is at least three times more than I'd be willing to pay for a subscription to watch all Spurs games. Plus, with new PL rules I probably wouldn't be able to watch all saturday PL games either.

Yet someone still wonder why people turn to illegal streaming.

Yep - in this free market world we live in we believe that competition is good for the consumer. Problem is this is a monopoly supplier so it does not really work that way.

The increased competition has meant consumers are worse off but the supplier (PL mainly) are a lot better off.

Rinse the foreign market and regulate the local -

As for the CL they used to have a remit that a game was on terrestrial TV to keep up interest, they removed this rule. Only need to look at F1 and Cricket to see that they will probably benefit in the short term (£££) but there will be a reduced interest in the long term.
 
So, stuff the coverage... back to the game!!! I am getting excited now and it's (still) only 6 hours until I head to Wembley! Can't wait.... warm evening, floodlights... massive, massive Spurs crowd... Champions League music... spine tingling already!!!!!!

This will be the first time I've ever been to a competitive Spurs game at Wembley (I've seen us in a friendly there before). I'm going with my dad, who was at the old Wembley for cup finals of the 70s and 80s. Can't wait!

Rotation and squad use will be seen in domestic cups and in subs (if we are winning a CL game comfortably at home, could see Poch bring on a Edwards/Winks as a sub for the experience).

I didn't think either of them made the final CL squad? Same for Onomah. Think they lost out to Sissoko, Wanyama and N'Koudou in the end. Carroll made the cut though.

Are they still able to play because of their age, even if not in the squad? I don't know the rules for Champions League squads (ain't played FM for awhile!)
 
Nothing will truly prepare Pochettino and his players for the moment when they depart the dressing room to be assaulted by the colour and noise of what could be the largest home attendance in English club history. Tottenham anticipate around 85,000; the record is the 84,467 who watched Emirates Marketing Project’s FA Cup sixth-round tie against Stoke City at Maine Road in 1934.

“I can’t really imagine what will happen in the moment when we walk from the tunnel to the pitch,” Pochettino said. “It will be an emotional moment.”

How cool would that be to smash one of those 1930's records???

I am SO gutted to be missing this one. Clash of holiday dates. Also missed the Stoke game but good to hear that Son,Ali and Kane all hit the net. It must give them added confidence going into tonight's game. Not sure if I will be able to find it on tv over here so may have to rely on sites such as this for updates. So keep the info flowing! I bet it will be an amazing evening. COYS!!!
