Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - Licence To Stand

[Raoul Duke]

And the pitch is ****. Mostly because of the poor stadium design, but the heavy use doesn't help. It's has to be relaid several times each season.

Is that the case with Lazio/Roma, Bayern/1860, Genoa/Sampdoria etc. too?

Well, Inter and AC Milan have shared a stadium for ages.

The San Siro was infamous for having a terrible pitch from the 90s (when the general standard of pitches started improving) until recently. It used to be relaid 6-7 times a year.

3 years ago they put in a Desso pitch if a similar type to the one at Wembley, but it still needs to be reseeded in their winter break.

I don't believe the Premier League schedule would allow both teams to have no home games for a 3 week period over Christmas, which is the minimum time needed.

easy just get them chelsea spurs games played back to back at Wembley with a game sandwiched in the middle where both teams play outside of wembley.

Alternatively just split the pitch and play 5 a side

Germany (6 weeks) and Italy (can be 3 weeks) both have winter breaks to renovate their pitches. The Stadio Olimpico has a bad reputation despite having more natural light due to the distance between the seats and pitch. The Allianz Arena has Desso which fine due to their extended break mid season.

I love the fact that we have people that know about Desso pitches and pitch condition on this forum!

Ooow, I know this one! You have two teams with eleven players on each side, and they kick an inflated ball and try and get it in the opponent's goal. Team with the most money wins.

Cant tell, but it looks a bit like the end of a multi-story car park to me
