Monday night for City then?
Means another couple of days wait before it all begins again :(

[bobby brows]

There is nothing on the official site that confirms any sky dates let alone the opening day.

Can someone provide a link for info? cheers

Means I've wasted money booking my flights for the opening weekend. I covered every eventuality except a monday night game. That'll teach me to try and jump the gun

Whilst I'm pleased for anyone who would have missed the game, I'm out of the country for a month & was just picturing finishing off the trip getting back just in time for the 1st sunshiiiine Saturday with Aguero's hat trick.

Ah well..

[branny]

BOOOO!. I was hoping to watch it in a bar whilst on holiday (fly back on the Sunday night). Will have to watch it in the local now.
Double BOOOO!. Just noticed we fly out while the Inter Milan game is on.

[ashton287]

[steveo_88]

If it's anything like the first home game from last season should be a cracker!
