Logistical Support

[Leachie]

My fellow Yids. I am keen as mustard to make the Spurs vs West Ham trip in March and I am on the verge of booking flights, etc from Dublin.

However the game is currently scheduled for a 3pm kick off and not televised. My queries for help are these:

Being a London derby, is it right to assume this match will most likely be televised?
Anyone know if the television fixtures for March have been decided. If not, any ideas when it will be? This affects my flight times you see.
Would it be right to assume this match will be sold out pretty quickly as well?

Thanks!

Hmm, bit of a tough one, if you check on the espn and sky website they haven't scheduled Prem games yet for that weekend, it will depend on where we are in the league when the decision is made. The fixtures for that weekend are :

Saturday, 19 March 2011
Aston Villa v Wolverhampton, 15:00
Blackburn v Blackpool, 15:00
Chelsea v Man City, 15:00
Everton v Fulham, 15:00
Man Utd v Bolton, 15:00
Stoke v Newcastle, 15:00
Sunderland v Liverpool, 15:00
Tottenham v West Ham, 15:00
West Brom v Arsenal, 15:00
Wigan v Birmingham, 15:00

I would imagine that the Chelsea vs Man City will be Sunday and Villa vs Wolves a lunchtime kick off on either Sat or Sun. The rest is just a wild guess.
They've shown it when we've played at Upton Park but I can't recall the last time we've been on tv for West Ham at home?
Do you have to book flights as soon as? If so I would spend the whole weekend in London, just to make sure you don't miss it. I think tix go on sale next week and yes, it will sell out pretty fast.

Good man. Thanks for that! Yes the Chelsea game is guaranteed I guess plus the midlands derby. Our game must have a chance.

Good info that we haven't been on at home against them for a while. Nightmare scenario would be to book tickets and flights and it ends up on a Monday night!

Maybe contact the club... they might have an idea of when Sky/ESPN will be making their picks?

I normally go to the match so can't remember if they were televised or not, I could be wrong. Last seasons home game was on a Monday night 28.12.09 but that was because of Christmas fixtures, not sure when the sky / espn games are listed for March, good luck. God I hope we thump em.

Yeah thanks Shakus - just saw that. Looks like an early morning flight!

At least I know the story now.
