    Two questions.

    When a premiership team from the north of England plays a side from London at night or in the evening does the team stay in London overnight or return home immediately after the match? Do they travel by plane, train or coach?

    Spurs manager, Harry Rednapp said he was looking forward to going home after their match with AC Milan having a bacon sandwich and walking the dogs. I thought he lived on the south coast of England near Portsmouth. He'd hardly be home before midnight considering the drive from London.
    Or does he have a place in London?

    Not sure about league games, but a lot of teams stay at Oakley Court near Windsor before playing at Wembley.


    Harry Redknapp lives in Sandbanks near Poole in Dorset. Not sure about a home in London (although I wouldn't be surprised) but he has had a somewhat sizeable home in Dorset since his Bournemouth days.

    Yes, Redknapp lives in Sandbanks, supposed to be one of the most expensive places for house prices in England.
    If you fly from Dublin to Gatwick, it's possible you'll pass over it and it's easy to spot. At least Aer Lingus took that route last time I was with them

    West Ham United flew back to London after the Wigan game a few weeks back (the players insisted that Avram Grant fly back with them as some type of mark of respect as he'd just got the boot !)

    Did Harry Redknapp really do a 120 mile drive to WHL every morning and then another 120mile home in the evening? Or is Google maps showing me a wrong Sandbanks?
