Manchester City will play EB/Streymur of the Faroe Islands in the first qualifying round of the Uefa Cup.
They're playing the home leg at Barnsley's ground as their ground is being relaid after a Bon Jovi concert.

They only decided that after hearing who they were playing as the Faroe Island clubs are used to playing on ploughed fields & it would feel like a home leg!

The town they are playing has a population of 400 people, the entire population of the Faroes would fit in Citeh's ground.

May be that's why Citeh moved it then - they didn't want the islanders moving in lock, stock & barrel & claiming squatters rights at their stadium
