Arsenal and Tottenham announce historic extra North London derby at brand new stadium as fans left divided
NORTH LONDON rivals Arsenal and Tottenham are set to clash in a pre-season friendly overseas this summer.
The two clubs will meet at the newly-opened Kai Tak Stadium in Hong Kong on July 31.
It will be the first North London Derby played outside of the United Kingdom.
The fixture is scheduled to kick off at 7:30pm local time, meaning fans watching from the UK will be tuning in at lunchtime for a 12:30pm start.
While fans of both teams generally look forward to the North London Derby each season, many have been left disappointed by the move.
One person said: "This is a disgrace and you know it. Pathetic."
Another commented: "Travelling all that way to play our neighbours. Youll be tweeting about zero emissions again next week."
A third wrote: "Game has officially gone."
While a Spurs fan was quick to point out: "A friendly with that lot... make it make sense."
However, some supporters were happy with the announcement.
One said: "MY TEAM IS FINALLY BACK TO HK!"
While another wrote: "I WILL BE THERE."
THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY..
