Marc Posted August 13, 2018 Posted August 13, 2018 Pretty unprofessional. I’ve always had the impression that the stadium wasn’t going to be ready on time. Theyve also said Tottenham v Man City venue is ‘TBC’ which isn’t particularly promising. Another delay would be even more embarrassing. It’s also against premier league rules to play in two stadiums in a season I believe and the rules have already been bent on the basis that it was only for a short period.
Storts Posted August 13, 2018 Posted August 13, 2018 It's the Tottenham Hotspur stadium until we do the naming rights deal

We already got special dispensation from the FA for this season - we are playing at Wembley on Saturday. The delays aren't a problem in themselves - it's understandable considering the mammoth construction job it is. It's the communication with the fans, particularly after asking us to fork out huge amounts of money for our season tickets, that has been the real problem. They've not had any consideration for the effect on the fans whatsoever and the PR damage control they have to do is massive - particularly after such a shocking transfer window.

Smiley Culture Posted August 13, 2018 Posted August 13, 2018 Heard loads of rumours of trades people being kept on and given extended contracts to complete, I suppose there was some truth in it. Shame about the NFL game, I was hoping to go to that.

It has that wow factor that you wish Wembley had.

In that case, a points deduction is surely the most suitable punishment
6666 Posted August 13, 2018 Posted August 13, 2018 They made the weird choice of shaping it like a toilet seat and now everyone's surprised with all the shit. It's a bit of a shambles to be serious though. They might as well push it back to the start of next season rather than rush to get it done and risk people's safety.
Smiley Culture Posted August 14, 2018 Posted August 14, 2018 Congratulations to West Ham, their season has peaked and we’re still in August. Weird bunch them lot, having some sort of a superiority complex over stadiums.
Rick Posted August 14, 2018 Posted August 14, 2018 They shouldn't be allowed to move in this season. The premier league should have said "fuck off, you're not having your cake and eating it". It's ridiculous how they are just gonna waltz in midway through this campaign.

Behave - why would this get you worked up? The team this disadvantages is us. It's awful to have to play games at Wembley and then jump straight to a new stadium mid season. The FA quite rightly in my view - allowed us to do this because they want to encourage works of the scale we have attempted. By your logic should the FA have said you shouldn't have been able to swap games at the start of last season when your new stand wasn't ready?

Very little mate - it can only serve as a disadvantage, and now you've got a very pissed off fanbase as well due to the clubs failure to communicate. Could get very nasty if things start going wrong this season

Administrator Stan Posted August 14, 2018 Author Administrator Posted August 14, 2018 i don't get why there's such a fuss about the 2-stadium rule either in this circumstance. Can understand it if you have a fully functional stadium ready to go but so what if they play at Wembley and then at their new stadium? it'll disrupt them if anything.
Storts Posted August 14, 2018 Posted August 14, 2018 You'd have thought Liverpool fans in particular would be really sympathetic to ensuring that all the safety systems in place are perfect, which is what has caused the delay. Bizarre outburst

I think it's a joke that they were allowed to play at Wembley in the first place, but with that already being the case, I completely agree. Storm in a teacup

I was sort of following on from Mike's comment about points deduction. I'm definitely not worked up in the slightest. Like you say, it's not like you would prefer to be at Wembley. It's just bizarre how many delays you's have had with this stadium. I know I'm preaching to the choir saying that.

I liked Mike’s post because I thought it was a joke In the words of the Joker, why so serious? Obviously Spurs should be allowed to use a different stadium so nobody gets hurt or dies. I think Spurs will be punished enough as, like you said, this is probably going to lead to fans being pissed off and coupled with the lack of activity over the summer to build on last years good season... could start getting fans to turn and develop a toxic atmosphere. Generally toxic atomospheres aren’t a great sign and if enough fans are vocal they start feeling the pressure. Pretty shit for Poch, I sympathise with him.
