I think their bluff is going to get called. Strange that the three just above the zone are those making the fuss. Mental weakness being shown.

Shit, I'm on holiday...Marca saying UEFA have pencilled our game vs Olympiacos in for 6 August.
Moronic. There's little-to-no inherent value to playing at an empty home venue as compared to an empty neutral one- it's just posturing.
The whole thing's more than a little queasy, but the blatant greed and self-interest of the bottom six is properly stomach-churning for this moment in time.
You get the opportunity to prepare the pitch as you wish I suppose but I'd say that's pretty neglible too. Take away atmosphere, which is already a given, and home advantage virtually disappears.You can see the point when it's say, baseball, where the dimensions of loads of the grounds are different and so at your home ground you're going to be way more practised than the opposition at hitting towards the short side (if there is one).
Not in football though, the difference in pitch size across all the clubs is so negligible as to be irrelevant. I can't think what other factors would even come into it?
