Glamour tie against Faroe Islands side encounters problems

Yesterday we told you how Manchester City’s forthcoming UEFA Cup home tie has been moved to Barnsley’s Oakwell Stadium because soft rockers Bon Jovi tore up the pitch.

The July 17th away leg against Faroese side EB/Streymur has also had to be moved, as their tiny picturesque Við Margáir stadium holds just 1,000 people. This is obviously not enough to cope with Manchester City’s travelling army, plus the expense fishing all of Darius Vassell’s wayward shots out of the sea was deemed far too high. As Mark Hughes was less than happy about kicking off his City managerial debut in a location where the most viable means of transport is a mountain goat, the tie will now be played at one of the bigger grounds of the tiny Danish province.

More pictures of their charming little stadium after the jump…
