Just said on the radio that we won't be able train on Olympiacos's pitch ahead of the game tomorrow night.
Saying Sean Dyche is "concerned" about the condition.

Re: The pitch in Athens
If it is not because of the state of the pitch it does seem a little bit naughty.

Re: The pitch in Athens
Article 35 in the UEFA rule book says "The day before the match, pitch conditions permitting, the visiting club is allowed to train on the pitch on which the match is to take place. The length of this training session may not exceed one hour, unless agreed otherwise with the home club. If holding such a training session could render the pitch unfit for play the next day, an alternative training ground approved by UEFA in advance must be made available. In addition, the visiting club may hold private training sessions at a location to be agreed on with the home club, but not at the match stadium."

Re: The pitch in Athens
We didn't train on the pitch before the Aberdeen match either (due to the flight being delayed).

I’m sure UEFA will make it fair and let us not let them use the hallowed turf to train on next week......Woodleyclaret wrote:Worse than the Lashers apparently

It’s all about fairness so I would have thought UEFA would want it to be absolutely clear that we get the same service as them...Towneley it is then!
