Cardiff City v Tottenham Hotspur fixture moved due to Spurs' Europa League commitments

4th Sep 2013
Cardiff will now play Spurs on Sunday, September, 22 at 4pm after the fixture was moved back a day by the Premier League


Cardiff City’s next Premier League home match against Spurs has been moved back a day to Sunday, September 22 with a 4pm kick-off.

That is due to Spurs’ involvement in a Europa League tie v Norwegian club Tromso the previous Thursday.

Cardiff are due to play West Ham at Upton Park in a Capital One League Cup tie on Tuesday, September 24, but there is no news of that game being moved.

Manager Malky Mackay made 11 changes to his starting line-up for the League Cup trip to Accrington Stanley in the last round.

Even if it is not on Sky Sports you will be able to watch it out there on one of the foreign sports channels they have abroad. Just ask around.

Good news for me.

Wasn't allowed the Saturday off as I've had too many early season. Booked the Sunday off though, hoping it'd be moved!

Can look forward to this now in between trips to Hull and Fulham :ayatollah:

We're due to play at West Ham in the Capital One Cup 2 days after the Spurs fixture and away to Fulham the following Saturday, so it'll be interesting to see whether Malky opts to change the West Ham game to the Wednesday, or leaves it on the Tuesday, where I suspect he'll play a mix of the fringe players & Development side!

I would av thought it would move to the Wednesday like the previous rd!

Why 4pm if not live on TV mun. f**k sake.

Fed up if the PL already.

Dont care if we get relegated. Prefer the Championship.

Re: Spurs game moved

Wed Sep 04, 2013 6:27 pm

I'm happy with this.

Re: Spurs game moved

Was expected, surely?!

Nothing to do with the premier league - all about spurs playing in Europe on Thursday and needing a rest. Hardly rocket science. Would happen even if it was a championship fixture.

I suspect that'll be the case, but Malky may decide to play predominantly DVP players and keep the first team squad fresher for Fulham away, unless that game gets moved to the Sunday as well! :ayatollah:

Would have happened had we played Wigan in the Championship this season, so to blame it on the premiership is wrong.

3pm or 4pm... Really don't see the difference.

4pm is 1 hour later than 3pm. I hope this makes the difference more transparent for you.

& I really don't see much difference between starting at 3pm or 4pm. :thumbup:

Oh please. A championship team in europe is a rarity. Plus thats a 1 in 23 chance of game moving to Sunday.

Theres ususally 3 PL teams in europa league sometimes 4 if kod early from CL. So 4/19 teams could move to Sunday because of Europa league alone. 1 in 5 chance of Europa distrupting a PL fixture.

Still could happen though. Blame the Europa League, but not the premiership as it will happen to Wigan too.

Plus there's only two Europa League teams in the Premiership anyway.. It's just bad luck. To suddenly want the team relegated for it and say you prefer the Championship because of it, is daft. :lol:
